He

just didn't look like a coach or act like one. Rick often wondered if

everyone else was thinking the same

thing.

The only big person in the family was Rick, and even Mrs. Prather was larger than her husband. Rick"s size

was brought to his attention several timesweeklybythelittleboynext door.

The kid would

come

over and stand admiringhishighschoolidol.

When

he would askto feel Rick's muscles. Rick obliged while the two mothers winked

ateachother.

"Big and strong and . . ." the boy would say.

"And

scared," Rick thought angrily.

Rickhad oftenthoughtof telling his

father about the fear that struck him when the big

moment

came in their games. His dad would not scold him.

Rick

knew

that

—

or even look

down

on him for it, as his teammates most cer- tainly would. Mr. Prather was just as unpredictable in his thoughts, to Rick asto anyoneelse.

He

had never urged Rick to participate in a game, but Rick felt his father would be dis- appointedifhedidn't.

What

else could a fellow do? Ifhe didn't take partin thegames his fathercoached, it would be almost as bad as telling people he was scared. With ^his big body and perfect health, Rick had no excuse to offer.

But until today. Rick had managed

to stayon the sidelines inevery sport.

Sometimes, in the last part of a sure game, he might have gone in a few minutes as a substitute. The ^fact that he was on the team had been enough tosatisfythetown andhisfather. Rick thought. Then today, fatehad thrown him a nasty curve.

Don

Akley was entered as the best representativefrom

Random

CityHigh for the ski jump. It was all part of the annual Snowfrolics. Bitterly, Rick recalled yesterday evening

when Don

took a crazy spill while competing in the barrel-leap on ice skates. They hadcarried the injured playerfrom the frozen pond ^with a twisted ankle.

Therewere onlytwoboysthatcame near being able to win the ski jump.

Rick and Don.

Now

that

Don

was hurt, Rick felt the eyes of the school andthe town turn on him.

As

simply as that, he had been elected to

make

the jump today. Rick had never planned for

Don

^{to hurt} himself.

He

wouldn't even have

made

the try for second place representative in the sport. Carefully, Rick had always put out just enough effort to

make

him secondbest.

And

more often thannot, he could easily have taken the first position from

Don

Akley. Whenever the stars began to climb too high in Rick's

own

mind, he would feel the twinge of fear tremble through his body.

He

would then content him- self with second place, watching

Don

reap personal glory in contest after contest.

As

thetrack was clearedbelow, the placer motioned to the boys to

move

forward. Rick automatically

moved

up a step as the young

man

before him took his stance. Rick's eyes held to the back of the young

man

on the board. The placer touched the skiier's arm. Below, a

man

sliced through the air with ayellow and black flag. The boyleaned forward, pushed

down

and back on his poles. With a whispering

Straight furrows, accurately checked corn and even rows have long been sources of pride

on

American farms.

Butin most casesthey are not themarks of

good

farming.

On

^{rolling land,} down-slope furrows be-

come

gutters to speed the rainfallthat carries offin hours the topsoil nature took hundreds of years to build.

Contour farming,

on

the otherhand, saves moist- ure, raises the water table, assures better crops in dryyears,keeps the land fromgullyinganderoding.

Of

course, conservation requires a lot

more

than

simple contouring. It means using land to best ad- vantage . . .putting to grass and pasture

some

land

now

under crop cultivation . . .planting fieldcrops on

good

land

now

in woodlots . ..using marginal land for trees.

Saving our landis ajob forall

—

the machinery makers . . . the conservationist . . . the

man who

farms. It means

more

profit from agriculture . . .

bigger yields for less physical labor.

And

conserva- tion is the best insurance

we

have of a permanent agriculture for the generationsthat follow.
