Sanpete Soil Conservation chalks up 50 years service Widespread concern for the environment is a relatively new social phenomenon. In the last five years, cattle have been shot, road equipment vandalized, and corrals and fences torn down, all in the name of saving the environment. Fortunately there has been a local, quiet, effort making a positive environmental difference for the last 50 years. On July 15, 1941 a certificate of organization for the Sanpete Soil Conservation District was issued from Utahs governor. Since that time ahost of practical environmentalists have been directing conservation practices in Sanpete County. These men and their wives have been, and are, agriculturists. They are farmers, people who have a first hand feel for the importance of protecting soil from erosion, land from flooding, and water from wastage. For the last 50 years they have directed the Soil Conservation Service in the primary environmental challenges of Sanpete County. They also administer their own local .programs that cover a wide range of concerns. Their success is measured not in property behind-the-scen- es destroyed, but property protected from erosion and flooding. It is not defined by frivolous lawsuits, but by the many students who have been sent to the Natural Resource Camp, by teachers sent to the Utah Outdoor Education Workshop, by education conservation materials provided to local schools and by sponsoring farmer seminars. Rather than Central sowingseedsofcontention.they sponsor a program to multiply seeds of new varieties of beneficial plants. They are not known for confrontation and blame seeking.
