Official Paper for Morrow County
Why a Soil Conser
vation District?
DACK in 1935-36 many Morrow
county farmers almost gave up
the ghost some did as they saw
their wheat seed blown right out of
the field and tremendous dust clouds
covered homes and landscape. That
was a trying time which brought the
organization of the Lexington Blow
Control district and general intro
duction of protective summerfallow
practices.
So desperate was the situation at
the time that a large interest was
taken when a meeting was called
at Lexington grange hall to discuss
soil conservation problems; an in
terest so intense that two hundred
odd farmers and others braved the
snow and cold of a winter storm to
attend. The first meeting was fol
lowed by an annual meeting in en
suing years from which were devel
oped many fine ideas. Some of these
ideas were applied "trashy fallow,"
etc., in allaying a fearsome spectacle
the land blowing away in dust
clouds.
It has been recognized at these
meetings, however, that wind ero
sion is not the only enemy of the
soil which the farmer has to com
bat. There is water erosion and ro
dents ever to be contended with.
The entire problem of soil saving
was recognized as one demanding
concerted effort, but to date there
has been no organization perfected
for such action.
The last legislative session paved
the way for such organization in
setting up the structure for local soil
conservation districts, and it is bring
such a district to Morrow county
that the referendum to vote on the
Heppner Soil Consevation district
has been called next Saturday.
The proposed district is not a fed
eral agency. It is entirely a local
farmer controlled vehicle, under
state supervision, non-taxable, with
the sole purpose of making possible
soil erosion control measures that
that such agencies as the CCC's wiii
be enlarged and their efforts re
doubled in the work of permanent
improvement over all the country,
If such be the case it is logical that
those sections organized to take ad
vantage of the help will receive it
first. That makes organization of
the Heppner Soil Conservation dis
trict at this time most feasible.
Soil conservation is not new in th ;
world. The oldest countries, China
and Europe have been working at
the problem for centuries. For many
years foresighted American leaders
have preached the coming necessity.
Morrow county has already wit
nessed that necessity. It is now for
the landholders to visit the polls
Saturday, if they have not already
cast an absentee ballot, and vote
for the organization. It must again
be emphasized that failure to vote
is the same as a vote against the
district. The matter is one for very
serious consideration.
