LJjANIWIPAPII 1 1 ' - - .- I : i i .,- i - - I - , ' 1 : , -. If GUEST EDITORIAL Crisis In The Countryside A Soil Stewardship Week Statement By D. A. WILLIAMS. Administrator, Soil Conservation Service Today, there Is indeed a "crisis ln the countryside" or rather, two crises. One Is the continued wastage of the land through erosion and improper use. The other is the result of man's partial success. This is the crisis of complacency about conservation. Why this complacency ? Perhaps it Is because the need for Increased conservation measures does not Immediately strike tie eye. The supermarkets are full today. The dust may not be blowing today. And so we concern ourselves with the big headlines wars, space, missiles, murders! These are serious matters Indeed. But we lose more of our land every year to silent erosion than we have ever lost or shall ever lose, to a foreign foe. Where is the battle cry for this? WTiat happens to the eroding lands in Missouri and Mon tana affects us more directly than our landing on the moon. Where are the pleaders for this? And no matter what weap ons of the future we develop the most modern army ln the world still travels on Its stomach, still depends on the boun tiful earth we take for granted. Do not misunderstand me. Our activities around the world, and out of It are very necessary. But I will firmly believe to the end of my life that there Is no work more Important now or for the future, than conserving and enriching our own land, the basis for our life, our living, our national wealth. Yet we lose each year, through erosion and other forms of preventable damage, about 500,000 acres of formerly pro ductive land. The bulldozer and the builder take another one and one-third million acres of the best land every 365 days for highways, factories, housing and so on. Our rivers con tinue to flood and destroy homes and hopes. Our water sup ply runs short, becomes polluted, erodes the land. And, as much of our land disappears, our population and that of the world increases. Yes, our supermarkets are still full. Our time has not run out But quite literally, the sins of our forefathers are being visited upon us. We cannot afford to be as wasteful in the future, if we desire our children's children to inherit an affluent America. We must plan more intensively, farm more wisely, care more urgently. And we must make sure the city man understands that what happens in rural Amer ica affects him Immediately and profoundly. We call our land "God's country," and it is. Let us clear ly acknowledge it is our Job to keep it that way. Farmers and ranchers, as the chief soil stewards, have the heaviest responsibility. They, of all people, know the conservation Job Is far from done. Thirty percent of our land Is being properly treated. What about the 70 percent? As we acknowledge Soil Stewardship Week, let us indeed thank God for this country, and for the thousands of dedi cated people working to keep it rich and bountiful especial ly the officials and cooperators of our 3,000 soil and water conservation districts. And then let us get off our knees and go back to work.

We suppose it is considered a sign of progress that a man can be born in a log cabin and die from an atomic bomb. "I remember him. sure." said the old timer. "He was 50 years old before he found out he did n't have to say everything he thought" Prosperity is like obesity: it often shows in the wrong plac es. He who lives without trying falls without sympathy. The new bride had gone to her grandmother for advice and got it: "Always be on his side, never on his back." If you can't stand being dis liked, don't be successful. No, Sylvia, when it says men are free it doesn't mean you can get one for nothing. A man might live to a ripe old age if he didn't expend so much energy enjoying life. Years ago at picnics women's skirts swept the dust Men in various ways have eliminated the dust; women for various reasons have eliminated the skirts. MOST EVEP.YONE loves holi days, but they can be a nui sance, too. When a holiday falls in midweek, it can be a headache. (We hate to have them fall on a publication day!).
