' Mrs. Campbell's Fourth Grade
We have Juat ended out unit on
conservation. Mr. Thomas Greene
came and talked to us about conaervation.
We studied about America
before the white men came,
the first settlers, moving westward,
products from trees, parta of a tree,
eroded land, atrip farming, irrigation
dams, steps in planting trees,
and uses of Reforests. We learned
that conservation ia saving natural
resources Some of these
are aoil, animals, planta, minerals,
and water. Flooda wash our topsoil
away; wlnda blow it away; the
roots of the trees hold the aoil so
that it cannot eaally get away.
We learned that we should practice
conaervation.
