Soil Erosion A National Menace Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from Soil Conservation Districts for Erosion Control This new appreciation of the partnership that exists between farmer or rancher and society has found expression in the passage of State soil conservation districts laws. Since january 1, 1937, the legislatures of 22 States have passed laws providing for the creation of soil conservation districts. Bills providing for similar laws are being considered for introduction in the legislatures of other States. The Department is vitally interested in the passage of such legislation by the States; In its long experience with con servation programs, whether they dealt with the soil, the forests, the range, or wildlife, the Department has found that the problems of conservation invariably are closely bound up with the right use of land. F armers and ranchers, of whom there are more than 6 million, control the use of most of the arable land in the United States. The Department, cooperating With the States, welcomes an opportunity to work with farmers and ranchers through the cooperating groups which the soil conservation districts laws permit farmers and ranchers to organize.
