Tfie worf done on it
Is aptly illustrated by the circled stories in the
adjoining reproduction of the front page of last
Thursday's Gazette Times.
No amount of Conservation can completely
protect farm lands directly under a cloudburst
or in the path of its runoff, but such an occur
ance only further points up the vital need for
continuing efforts to establish farming prac
tices that will keep our topsoil on the land
where it can produce for all of us. Soil washed
down streams is lost forever and it is to prevent
such loss that Soil Conservation Districts are
continually working.
The saving of soil is only one phase of Con
servation Week, though an extremely import
ant one here. Continuing efforts to conserve
all of Oregon's Natural Resources are needed
and the observance of Conservation Week is
designed to remind all of us of the part we must
play in this work.
