P.I.K. reduced soil erosion in 1983 The footprints left on the Moon by Apollo astronauts are expected to remain vis ible for at least ten million years. Farmers who took part in the U.S. Department of Agri culture's 1983 payment-in-kind programs reduced soil erosion by more than 20 percent on cropland taken out of produc tion. Secretary of Agriculture John R Block said recently. Releasing a preliminary re port on conservation benefits of P.I.K. and acreage reduc tion programs, Block said soil erosion on an estimated 79 million diverted acres was lowered from an average of 7 4 tons to 5 8 tons per acre per year "That adds up to 121 million tons of soil that stayed on the land." he said. "While the chit goal of the P.I K. pro grams was to bring down production, other goals in cluded reducing erosion on idle acres, improving wildlife habitat and conserving water." The report, based on data from sample of 4.300 farms in 227 sounties. shows that about 33 percent of the diverted land provided suitable cover for wildlife. About 13 million acre feet of water that would have been used to irrigate 8 million acres of cropland also were saved by the conservation use acreage programs. A more detailed report ex pected later this year will show other major achieve ments in conservation. Block said. Copies of the preliminary report are available from USDA's Agricultural Stabili zation and Conservation Ser vice, room 4714 S, P.O. Box 2415, Washington. D C. 20013, or by calling 202 ) 447 221.
