Conservation Group Makes Recommendations
Concluding its three-day an
nual meeting, the Public Ad
visory Committee on Soil and
Water Conservation recently
urged the U.S. Department of
Agriculture to redouble its efforts
to inform the public of
agricultural contributions to
environmental improvement.
The Committee of 20 citizens
from across the nation, appointed
by the Secretary of Agriculture,
met to evaluate and make
recommendations for program
needs and development in
resource conservation so that the
USDA’s activities “can make the
most meaningful contribution to
the welfare of the United States
and the quality of the en
vironment.” /
Stressing the need for in
creased coordination within
cooperative USDA programs, the
Committee this year included in
its recommendations that:
The USDA continue its ef- -
forts to inform the public of its
contributions to overcoming
agricultural related pollution and
environmental improvement
through its programs 'of
research, education, technical
assistance, credit, and cost
sharing.
The USDA support the
enactment of legislation to
authorize long-range whole-farm,
cost sharing contract authorities
to help solve regional en
vironmental problems such as
those found in the Great Lakes
Basin, the Wabash River Basin,
the Palouse Area of the Nor-
Lancaster Farming, Saturday, October 16,1971 —13
thwest, the Four Corner Area of
the Southwest, and Ozarkia
The USDA consider
developing methods to gather
information and assess changes
in land use preferably on an
annual basis.
Action be taken to insure
that agricultural land is included
in any legislation on national
land-use policy.
Meeting with Under Secretary
of Agriculture J. Phil Campbell
and USDA agency heads in
Washington, the Committee
examined specific areas it felt
needed improvement. These
included: agricultural related
sediment control and animal
waste disposal, watershed ac
tivity and resource conservation
and development projects; and
public access in water resource
projects
The Committee stressed the
importance of USDA continuing
its emphasis on an “en
vironmental impact” approach
in planning its program
requirements and assistance,
and in its cooperative efforts with
other groups. It also noted as
being not widely known that the
farmer is, and has traditionally
been, a leading conservationist.

Apply Lime In The Fall
For A Better Crop
Next Summer
ft
Fall liming assures proper limestone distribu
tion in the soil, ready for spring planting. The
freezing and thawing of winter aid in the
process of limestone dissemination. So, why
wait, correct your soil deficiency now by liming,
and reap a bigger harvest next summer.
