memorative stamp
marking 50 years of soil
and water conservation
in the United States was
issued by the U.S.
Postal Service at the
National Association of
Conservation Districts
convention in Denver,
Colo., on Monday.
The soil and water
conservation movement
began in 1934 when the
Soil Erosion Service in
the U.S. Department of
the Interior began to
work directly with
farmers through
demonstration projects.
In 1935, the agency was
transferred to the U.S.
Department of
Agriculture. Later that
spring, when Congress
passed Public Law 46, it
became the Soil Con
servation Service.
Today, the USDA
agency works through
nearly 3,000 local
conservation districts -
units of local govern
ment. The soil con
servation movement is
a voluntary one that has
involved 2.5 million
landowners and
operators since its in
ception.
The National
Association of Con
servation Districts is a
private group which
provides information
and support services to
aid the nation’s districts
in the conservation and
orderly development of
the nation’s natural
resources.
The stamp depicts a
stylized hand holding a
flower against a black
background. Bands of
color run horizontally
across the hand,
symbolizing water and
layers of soil. The stamp
is in six colors and was
designed by Michael
David Brown of
Rockville, Md.
