Clark, District Cons?rvationist Editor's note: This is the last of a two part series written by the state conservationist on the history of the Soil Conservation Service. Farms Served First In the early years of the Soil Conservation Service, the technical expertise of soil conservatioi ists began just beyone the city limits. SCS provided service to farmers; the main clientele of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Farmers are still being served with a variety of programs, including many much more advanced than those in the days of Hugh Bennett - but now conservation work has literally "gone to town" with a number of services to urban interests. So while farmers have benefited from terraces, conservation cropping systems, grassed waterways, contour planting, wildlife food and cover, farm drainage systems, and reforestation, the folks in town have also received benefits. One of the most popular conservation practices in North Carolina is farm ponds. The total number of ponds is now nearing 67,000 and more are being built each year. While farmers value such ponds for stock water, irrigation, water supply for home, Fire prevention and other uses, many of their city cousins enjoy Fishing in the same ponds. Most farm ponds in North Carolina are well stocked with fish. SoB surveys were originally planned to help farmers plan the best use of their land - which tract for crops, for pastures, for forest or other use - and they still serve their original purpose. But now the same data can help an urban planner locate a sanitary landfUl, show best sites for home buOding or dropping centers, and even help with the decision on where to place a new municipal park - or reservoir. Newer programs such as watershed protection and resource conservation and development projects serve both rural and urban people. Watershed dams may prevent flooding in a mountain farmer's prized "bottomland" which produces corn or vegetables, whUe the same type of project in an urban area can protect built - up housing areas, shopping centers and entire towns. Lakes behind the dams can provide recreation or a municipal water supply. Despite the smaller number of employees in North Carolina, the Soil Conservation Service continues to respond to current needs of farmers, or urban individuals and increasingly to requests for assistance from local units of government. North Carolina's new Sedimentation We want to wipe out cancer in your lifetime. Give to the American ^ Cancer Society#, Pollution Control Law, now in force itatewide but being supplemented with ocal ordinances in most counties, :reates a demand for technical information on sediment control. SCS people and supervisors of North Carolina's local soil and water ;onservation districts work together to meet this new demand. A farmer wants to put in a new farm pond, or to provide food and habitat for wild game. SCS technicians will tell him where to put the pond and how to install wildlife and other conservation measures on the land. Recently SCS people and district supervisors have worked to provide county - level appraisals of potential for outdoor recreation, as numbers of people increase and recreational needs keep pace. More than 90 counties have published such appraisals, complete with detailed maps. Good progress is reported on the statewide progressive soil survey, a responsibility of SCS in North Carolina as well as the other 49 states. Surveys have been completed in 20 counties and work is underway in 15 others. The Soil Conservation Service works cooperatively with other agricultural and natural resource - oriented agencies as well as with units of government at all levels, it is this cooperative effort that has helped SCS play a significant role in improving the landscape and the environment during the past 40 years. What will the next challenge be? No one can be sure. But if scientific, accurate technical knowledge on conservation of natural resources is needed, the Soil Conservation Service will be in there pitching - and answering the need as it has since it was "born" 40 years ago.
