Cleveland Soil And Water Conservation District’s Long RangeProjjra The main objective of the Cleveland Soil and Water Con servation District’s Long Range Program and Work Plan is im proved conservation and wise use of our natural resources, ac cording to the annual report just released by officials. Improved farming habits will greatly reduce the severe erosion of areas throughout the District and improve the more efficient use of our water supply in our streams. Some of the good conserva tion practices encouraged by the District and being followed by some land users are terraces, waterways, field borders, grassland, contour farming, timber improvement and tree planting, critical area planting, wildlife, plantings, and no-till planting. The District has received an ever increasing number of re quests throughout the year for assistance on terraces, ponds, waterways, field borders, critical areas, drainage and lagoons. After reviewing the District Long Range Plan, the annual work plan, the conservation needs inventory and the ac complishments made during this fiscal year we find there has been some good accomplishments. Much is still to be done in some areas where land users con tinue to work up and down sloiies and across terraces. The main agriculture crops in the District this year are com, soybeans, cotton, small grain, grasses (hayland and grassland) fruits (apples, peaches and grapes), vegetables (truck farm ing), and tree farming. Some other farming opera tions are beef cattle, dairy cattle, hogs, poultry, sheep and bees. The District works closely with the N.C. Forest Service. Seven Week HKD Program To Be Held When students finish the seven week orientation and motivation training pro gram— Human Resource Development (HRD) they are presented certificates. Gradua tion exercises were held Friday at Cleveland Technical College, in the conference room, 2120. Twenty students who com pleted the course were presented certificates by Dr. James B. Pet ty, president, assisted by Dr. Alvin Sherlin, vice-president, and Dan Camp, dean of continu ing education. During this seven week course, participants have receiv ed training in group interaaions, self awareness, job seeking and job holding skills, basic educa tion, consumer economics, effec tive communications, and per- sonaLfcareer goal setting. Some of the students have already found employment or pursuing further educational programs. The staff is currently engaged in placing the remainder of this class in various work or educa tional opportunities. Human Resources develop ment classes are held on Cleveland Tech’s campus and at the Community Center in Kings Mountain. This program has as its goal-meaningful employ ment.

Forest Service Nursery. During this fiscal year several land-users have received cost sharing assistance through various programs, (FIP, LTA, FDP and ACP) for doing land preparation and tree planting. Approximately 335.0 of tree planting was completed with cost share assistance through one of the cost share programs. Several individuals ordered seedlings and planted the trees themselves without cost share assistance. Several individuals ordered White pine for Christmas tree planting. The Cleveland District works with the Resource Wildlife Com mission by the distribution of forms for landusers to mail re quest to the Wildlife Biologist, requesting wildlife materials for planting for wildlife. These plants help to control erosion as well as being a good source for wildlife to hide in as well as fine food. We also assist people in contacting various wildlife peo ple such as the game protectors. Also, when the seed are being delivered the District aids in making contacj with the persons who are to receive the materials. Some of the practices available in the Cleveland District for cost share assistance are sod waterways; permanent vegetative cover (critical area); sediment retention, erosion or water control structures and animal waste control structures. The District works with the Extension Service in various ways. The District helps distribute soil sample boxes and information sheets. The District answers questions on how to take soil samples. The District works with Farmer’s Home Administration in supplying soil’s information and ^ainage information and erosion control plans as the pro perty owners make request for this assistance. The Realty Companies also re quest this information from the District as requested by property owners. The District aids with pro grams to help various in dividuals, churches, schools and civic groups by distribution of various conservation booklets and information sheets. Also, programs are given to these various groups as thejsare re quested. News articles are mailed to the newspapers and spot an nouncements mailed to the radio stations throughout the year by the District. A conservation field tour was conducted by the District. Various business men attended, such as bankers, mayors, county commissioners, news media. State Representatives, and SCS personnel. Twenty five people attended this tour. The tour route included the Harold Lineberger farm where the group viewed several good conservation practices. Mr. Lineberger’s faihily was the 1978 Conservation Farm Family State runner up. The group stop ped at the G.W. Bell farm, view ed an animal waste management structure. The last stop was the J.D. Ellis farm where they saw an animal waste lagoon. At the close of the meeting the group enjoyed a steak suppier. The Board selects a conserva tion farm family in the District who is doing a good job of con servation for the family to repre sent the District in the State con test.
