During SCD Convention
Harrisburg The 1958 Queen of the Furrow, Miss
Daunna Doebler, Jersey Shore, Lycoming County, is a-guest
of the National Association of Soil Conservation Districts
at a convention in Houston, Texas, this week.
According to David G. Unger, executive secretary of
the Pennsylvania Soil Conservation Commission, the Com

20-man delegation of county conservation district'directors
led by Charles Gillette of Townville, Crawford County.
and has changed, even since
they started in FFA project
work.
Hester, summing up his
thinking, said, “To stay in
business, a farmer must do
more than grow a lot of corn
or cotton, or meat, or milk.
He has to grow the best and
do it efficiently. He must find
the best market and produce
for it.
Success is a matter of en
ough size for efficiency with
the best quality and profits
coming from good manage
ment.”

The delegation, hopes to
bring the 1962 convention
al the national association
to the Keystone State, and
will push for establishment
of a soil and water research
laboratory in the Northeast
states. Unger said that the
delegation will stress the ne
ed for a step-up in small
watershed flood prevention
activities.
“Urban sprawl” received
the attention of the delegat
ion Tuesday, at a special ses
sion attended by directors of
northeastern states. The sque
eze~on farm land from in
vading homes, utilities and
highways frequently aggra
vates conservation problems,
conservationists contend Soil
conservation districts in 50 of
Pennsylvania’s GZ counties
must devise new means to
manage land - wisely, Unger
said.
Gillette, secretary of the
state association of soil dis
trict directors, said that the
success of the 16th Uational
Plowing Contest and Conser
vation Exposition in August,
1958 at Hershey has focussed
the attention of conservation
ists on Pennsylvania. He said
that it is on this basis that
the delegation hopes that the
ir convention bid will be su
ccessul.
