Lebanon Farmers Urged
To Practice Conservation
The expected large In
crease in agricultural
production in Lebanon
County presents major
responsibilities upon the
farmers of the county to
prevent soil erosion and at
the same time produce the
food needed to feed the
nation.
The responsibility is to
encourage land users to get
additional cropland under a
conservation plan promptly
and to select for intensive
farming those acreages that
can be protected adequately
from soil erosion. Closely
related is the job of helping
landowners find ways to
increase farm income and
production.
Secretary of Agriculture
Earl Butz said recently,,
“While there is plenty of
additional land in the United
States that can be used for
crop production without
endangering our basic soil
and water resources, there
are also millions of acres of
farm and ranch land with
soils so prone to blowing or
susceptible to water erosion
that they should never be
used for crops.”
Also recently, the National
Association of Conservation
Districts called for a
nationwide cafnpaign to
make sure farmers and
ranchers use conservation
practices to prevent ac-
What is a Bargain Food?
No food is a bargain if it
doesn’t fit your budget or
your family’s need and
tastes. Harold Neigh, Ex
tension consumer economist
at The Pennsylnama State
University, suggests starting
out with a shopping list. And
follow it. You will be less
tempted by expensive,
impulse products and less
confused by the some eight
thousand attractive
packages at the super
market.

Farmers should realize
that soil erosion control, or
the lack of it, directly in
fluences crop yields and
farm income says Clair
Gerberich of the Lebanon
County Conservation
District. One recent study,
reported by the Agricultural
Engineering Department of
the University of Missouri,
showed that soil erosion in
some areas seriously
reduced the production of
corn and soybeans and
resulted in a net income drop
of $18.32 an acre on
moderately eroded fields
and $33.20 an acre on
severely eroded fields. Pr
oduction costs for these
farmers rose 20 percent on
moderately eroded fields
and 56 percent on severely
eroded fields, due primarily
to the increased time and
cost required to prepare the
seedbed.
Conservation can increase
net income by increasing
yields and crop quality and
by reducing production
costs.
The strong demand for
food products offers the
American farmer and
rancher an excellent op
portunity to bring about real
efficiency in his operations
and to install good con
servation systems.

The Lebanon County
Conservation District has
been assisting farmers to
produce the food reserves of
the past and at the same
time conserve the soil
resources to produce the
food for next year and for
future generations. For your
