He said we have a responsibility to keep up with the times, and the Conservation Service and other cooperating agencies are going to be working longer and harder to accomplish this task. In the last 10 years, reported Davis, the state has lost 60,000 acres of land to urban develop ment. For the first time, urban dwellers outnumber farm populace. He mentioned that no longer are conservationists strictly farm oriented. There is a real need for all segments of society to be aware of conservation. Natural resources need to be protected. We now need to be concerned about pollution, solid waste disposal, and dozens of other problems which exist here and now, and on into the future. Davis said the Soil and Water Conservation Service is a technical arm. The work will have to be continued with and through the local Districts. The accomplishments gained m conservation are mostly a volunteer proposition, said Davis. It takes dedication and salesmanship teamwork to carry out the job.

In final statements, Davis said, “I believe conservation is cropland, over 4 million acres need conservation practices. The soil losses could he reduced by about 18 million tons a year in Pennsylvania alone. There are over 600,000 acres of farm roads, mine strip areas, farmsteads, and other areas which need conservation prac tices. This would reduce sedimentation runoff by 2.4 million tons per year, Davis continued. The untreated areas, primarily soil and sediment, are a threat to our rivers and streams.
