BEAM
NOW MIST DROPS
aiOUCI ILLUMINATION
No. 3—MIST AND FOG
Oo long as there is light we may skip around at a lively rate over this old
O globe of ours. We may span oceans in surprising time. We may cross the
continent from sun-up to sun-down.
But every now and then Mother Nature decides
to put us in our place, and of all her devices to make
us slow down, none is more effective than mist and
fog.
Now we may not have to contend with fog and
mist very frequently, but we're bound to now and
then, and when we do, it can cause us a lot of annoy-
ance and trouble.
When a good heavy fog comes—on land, at sea
or in the air—everything that moves, moves with
caution. The ocean liner slow3 down several knots
an hour. Lightships signal, buoys sound and foghorns
boom. Airlines ground their planes and cancel trips.
Even trains on tracks reduce their speed—and we
drivers on the highways, too, must make our way
cautiously through that baffling screen. For one thing is true. In spile c2 c.11
our progress, transportation still depends on pairs of eyes in human heads.
Scientists who have studied fog, say that it is
composed of tiny drops of water. These drops are
so small and light that they hang in the air, and so
close together that light can hardly get through
them. Instead, these little drops act like tiny convex
mirrors. When we try to pierce them with a beam of
light, a great deal of it is thrown right back at us,
so the effect is just like a great, gleaming white cur-
tain in front of us.
Experienced drivers say that the first thing to do
is to get our lights right. The main thing is to direct
the beams downward. If we have them shining
straight ahead, those little mist-drop mirrors reflect
the rays back in our eyes. But if they're pointing
downward, the rays are deflected toward the road.
Then they say it's a good idea to guide by the road edge at our right,
and if we have a spotlight on our car, to focus it right on that road edge,
close to the front of the car, so the edge will be clearly
lighted But we have to keep a good weather eye
ahead, too, because tog veils more than the road. It
hides not only things on the road but such things as
roadside warnings of curves and hills and inter-
sections. Even the traffic light's red and green signal
rays have the same hard time that our headlights
do getting through that strange haze. In fact, in a
good heavy fog, the best we can do for our vision is
none too good. And so the main thing is to slow down.
The ships have to do it, the trains have to do it, and
we have to do it too. If we won't make up our minds
to that, they tell us the best thing we can do is to
pull off the road, or if we have not yet started out,
we had better just stay home.
But seeing in fog and mist is only half the story. We not only have to fse,
but we also have to be seen. Our headlights properly adjusted are strong
enough to do their duty in pointing us out to people
coming from the opposite direction. And, in addition,
some drivers use their horns like foghorns by giving
them a toot every now and then. But another thing
we have to think of is to be sure drivers behind us
see us. That's why it's so important to have our stop-
signal and tail-light working when we're driving in
fog. And so it's a good thing to make sure that these
lights are working end to wipe off those little red
glasses if they happen to be covered with mud. If
the weather's clear and our tail-light has gone out, the
other fellow's lights may point us out fairly well. But
if his headlights are fighting fog, they can't do much
to protect us.
So, when all is said and done, driving in fog Is
frist a matter of having our headlights and tall-lights right and being a little
more careful. If we do that, we can drive our cars safely, even through
Nature's stubborn obstacles of mist and fog.

Soil Conservation
News
(Editor's note: For the purpose
of better aquainting the readers of
our paper with the program of
the Soil Conservation Service, we
are presenting the first of a
series of articles dealing wich the
work of the Service as it will be
carried on under the direction of
the Regional headquarters at Ft.
Worth.)
Detailed work relative to set-
ting up of region 4 headquarters
office of the Soil Conservation
Service in Ft. Worth is now in pro-
gress and will be pushed as rapidly
as possible, according to a state-
ment made today by Louis P. Mer-
rill, Regional Conservator. An-
nouncement of the designation of
Fort Worth as headquarters of
the Region, which is comprised of
Texas (except the high plains
area), Arkansas and Louisana,was
received this week from Henry A.
Wallace, Secretary of Agriculture,
through Hugh P. Bennet, Chief of
the Service at Washington. Office
'-pace has already been secured in
the Neil P. Anderson Building.
Most of the personnel of the Re-
gional Staff will go to Fort Worth
from Lindale, Texas, where tempo-
rary offices have been maintained
for the last two months at the
Duck Creek Watershed Project,
pending designation of the perma-
nent regional office location.
Supervisory and administrative
directions of five units of field ope-
rations in the region will be han-
dled from the Fort Worth Office.
These field units consist of 19
project watershed demonstrations,
60 ECW Camps, 2 Soil Conserva-
tion Experiment Stations, 4 Soil
Conservation Nurseries and a
Research Division.
The 19 demonstrations are ope-
rating on definitely defined water-
shed areas of approximately twen-
ty-five thousand acres each. Work
on the individual farm areas within
these areas is determined by the
suitability of the farm erosion
control demonsti-ation and the de-
sire and ability of the farmer to
cooperate in carrying out the ero-
sion control program planned for
his farm. In working out a plan
for controlling erosion the program
best adapted to the peculiar needs
of the farm is applied to each acre
of the farm unit. In some cases it
is possible to treat the adjoining
farms as one unit.
Points taken into consideration
in developing an erosion control
plan for each farm are based on
the utilization of each acre of land
on the farm. Discussion of the
special application of the differ-
ent phases of the coordinated pro-
gram, which includes the various
phases of foresty, agronomy and
engineering for succesful erosion
control, will be taken up separately
in a subsequent article of this se-
ries. It is well to state, however,
that the primary agency behind all
erosion control and water conser-
vation measures are the use of
proper vegetative and culture prac-
tices together, where necessary,
with certain mechanical means of
checking the rapid runoff of rain-
fall.
In addition to ECW Camp labor
available in projects area, a con-
siderable amount of labor from
WPA rolls is being utilized.
Field work of the ECW Camps
assigned to the Soil Conserva-
tion Service, and not located in
projected areas, covers whatever
area that can be satisfactorily and
economically worked within a rea-
sonble radius (15 to 20 miles) of
the camp location. Erosion control
demonstration in the camp areas,
however, are conducted on closely
grouped farms in preference to
scattered individual farm units. Su-
pervision of the work done by en-
rollees is under direction of a tech-
nical staff permanently assigned
to each camp. The technical staff
is supervised by project Manager
and staff of the Soil Conserva-
tion Service project to which the
camp is assigned. Erosion control
and water conservation measures
put into operation on the coopera-
ting farms in the camp area are
the same as those used in project
watersheds. The principal differ-
ence in the two set-ups being that
the co-operating farmer in the
camp area assumes responsibility
for more of the work and for fur-
nishing more materials and equip-
ment in carrying out the recom-
mended erosion control program.
The relationship, or the division
of responsibility, between coopera-
ting farmers and the Soil Conser-
vation Service is determined under
the provision of a co-operative
agreement signed by botih the
farmer and the responsible repre-
sentative of the Service. This
agreement, which is operative for
a period of five years, sets forth the
complete erosion control program
planned for the farm and also pro-

. Admission: Gents 40c Ladies 10c
Toni—At the party the other
night I won the prize for being
the homeliest man present.
Carl—Well, you chump, what did
you want to attend for and take; never miss a scrimmage. I want
such chances ?
Toni—Because I though
were going to be there.
Recruiting Officer—So you want
to enlist, do you ? Are you sure ?
Candidate—Yes, sir, I belong to
the fighting Macguires and we
you
to enlist for the duration of the
war—or longer if it keeps up that
long.
vides for the portion of the work
to be done, and the amount of ma-
terial and equipment to be furnish-
ed by the farmer and the Soil
Conservation Service.
No work is undertaken on any
farm until the cooperative agree-
ment is signed by both parties. In
addition it is also necessary for
the farmer to be a member of the
Soil Conservation Association, 1 —— _
which is organized in each project
and camp area. The entire program I
of the service is voluntary so far j VtTSm'M fl'd
as the farmer is concerned and no
farm is considered for demonstra-
tion of practical erosion control
until the land owner invites repre-
sentatives of the Service to work
out a plan for his farm.
Activity of the Soil Conservation
Service in working with a farmer
is predicated upon the closest co-
operation with all Federal and
State Agricultural agencies opera- »
ting in region 4.. In order to in- j
sure co-operative working rela-
tionship between the Service and
allied state agencies, there is with"
in each state a state coordinator.
There is also a state advisory com-
mittee. Through this Committee
cooperation with other organiza-
tions and agencies is effected.
IE
The program of the Soil Conser- j £
vation Serivce does not overlap the
plan of operatian of any other
agricultural organization or divi- j
sion, but rather is carried on in its
own particular sphere of demon- i
strating a complete program of i
erosion control. The Service works £
side by side with all other agricul- ,
tural agencies in its demonstra-
tion of the best means of main- j
taining the inherent fertility of I
farm lands and protecting them o
from devasting erosion.
Her Father—I do hope you ap- |
preciate that in marrying my'
daughter you are getting a very j
big hearted and generous girl. i
Young Man—I do, sir, and I
hope she has acquired those fine j
qualities from her father.
