two articles by D- A. Williams, Ad

vice, U- S. Dept. of Agriculture,
Washington).
Most State governments are ap
propriating larger and larger sums
at each session of their legisla
tures to help soil conservation dis
tricts carry on their work. These
appropriations are used mainly to
finance the State Soil Conservation
Committees (boards or commis
sions in some States). The com
mittees, in turn, represent the
State* in program development in
soil conservation districts and give
administrative guidance to dis
tricts- In 1957, these State oppro
priations approached 5 million dol
lars
In addition to the State funds,
county and local funds and facili
ties. made available to districts
through local government grants

rant office apace, purchase equip

In vartooa other waya, local
hinds contributed by civic and
municipal groups, buaineaa firms,
aasociations, clubs, and the like
are made available in nearly every
aail conservation district- These
fundi are often used in such acti
vities as field days, tours, work
shops. and training courses- They
pay for awards, prizes, and schol
arships; for newsletters, reports,
puhications and releases
There is still another form of
private help that is extremely
valuable, the dollar-value of which
can only be estimated broadly.
This includes time, efforts, and ex
penditures of thousands of citizens
who lend personal support to dis
tricts because they believe in this
approach to an urgent problem
We can only guess at the tremen
dous educational value of conser
vation subject matter in advertis
ing sponsored by local firms in
support of soil conservation dis
trict programs- A host of soil-and
water-conservation activities? con
tests, awards, and recognition pro
grams ? are conducted by farm
publications, newspapers, bankers
groups, and others.
The officials of soil conserva
tion districts themselves still
serve without salary. And because
of their interest, they serve also
on important committees of State
and national associations of soil
conservation districts
This development on the part of
State and local interests while it
may have come as a natural con
sequence of the people understand
ance of soil and water conserva

Association of Soil Conservation
Districts set out to encourage or
ganized community support of the
program- It was called "The Pro
gram for Greater Service " The
estimates 1 have cited here are
proof enough that this activity has
been successful.
We can look forward to still
more help from non-Federal sour
ces. In fact, I am convinced that
the flow of such assistance has just
begun. In some States, legislation
has recently been enacted to per
mit county governments to make
funds available to soil conserva
tion districts. The amount of funds
appropriated by the States them
selves was materially increased
during 1957, and we can expect
still more help from this source.
Business and industrial firms are
constantly on the lookout for ways
in which they can give more effec
tive help. There'll be ways for all
of them to lend a hand? and a
mighty useful hand it will be.
As the soil-and water-conserva
tion program has moved forward
an increasingly large percentage
of the total SCS appropriation has
grown each year into the cost qf
supplying trained scientists to soil
conservation district. These tech
nicians take help directly to farm
ers and ranchers who want to solve
their soil and water problems.
The Federal Government cost of
these services to farmers and
ranchers in soil conservation dis
tricts in 1957 was just under 73
million dollars.
We calculate that non-Federal
sources- in 1957 were providing
these same districts with help
worth at least 25 millions? more
than one dollar of non-Federal
funds for every 3 appropriated by
the Congress
This is a bargain American tax
payers are getting for their Feder
al conservation dollar. It is a de
velopment that has come about
slowly and that still has far to
grow. And only recently have we
come to appreciate the full signi
fiance of this development to con
servation and to effective team
work between Federal and non
Federal segments of our society
This is a sign that the soil con
servation district movement has
come of age. It is a fulfillment of
the belief and hopes of those who
20 years ago saw in soil conserva
tion districts a great new opt>or
tunity for democratic action in
the best traditions of our Democ
racy.
