Ipl ait Conservation Of Soil and Water Resources Marked Next to the military defense of the country, conservation of soil and water resources undoubtedly is the most important problem fac-ing the Nation during 1952, ac-cording to Cyril Luker, regional di-rector for the Soil Conservation Ser vice in the. Southwest region of New Mexico, Colorado, Utah and Arizona "Unless our soil is protected ag-ainst erosion, the fertility main-tained and improved and water used efficiently for the produc-tion of food and fiber, we cannot build up our national defense aga-inst possible aggression," Luker de clared. "Our future depends upon how well we use our soil and wat-er during these critical times." Never in history have the Am-erican farmers produced as much as they are being asked to grow in 1952, the conservationist pointed out. The demand is great and seems likely to continue so, Luker declared. "In order to meet the needs of the military and our fast grow-ing population, and to provide for exports and safe reserves, Federal economists and production and mar keting specialists have set the highest agricultural production goals of all times." Farmers are being called upon to produce 15 per cent more corn 5 per cent more cotton, more wheat and barley, and 26 per cent more grain sorghums to meet the feed demands of the record live-stock numbers. In addition to the mounting de-fense needs for agricultural pro-duction, the urban population of the country is steadily increasing while the rural population contin-ues to decline. Luker cited the Bureau of Agric-ultural Economics report that farm population, which started decreas-ing in 1910 sank another five mil-lion between 1940 and 1950. The report shows that the farm pop-ulation is-- some 75 million greater than at that time. Adding to the seriousness of the problem, Luker points out, is the fact that every year the country continues to lose for further im- - meuiate practical cuiuvauun uiuua ands of acres of agricultural land, chiefly cultivated land - - all as the result of erosion that we have learned how to control. . "We have reached our agricult-ural frontier for there is very lit-tle additional land that can be brought into cultivation" the reg-ional director pointed out. "We must make the best possible use of what we have, and this can be done by using each acre of agric-ultural land according to its cap-abilities and treating it according to its needs." This means that proper soil and water conservation practices should be applied on every acre, Luker explained, and pointed out that such practices have increas-ed production in New Mexico, Co-lorado, Utah and Arizona from 20 to as much as 100 per cent. These accomplishments are be-ing made by farmers and ranchers, with the help of soil conservation districts and county PMA commit-tees which are receiving technical assistance from the Soil Conserva-tion Service. Today, Luker said, there are more than 2,400 soil conservation dis-tricts in the 48 states which are organized and managed by farm-ers and ranchers as local units of the state governments. Arizona has organized 46 districts; Colo-rado, 95,; New Mexico 60 and' Utah, 47, containing more than 135 million acres of agriculture lands. . "These districts are organized to safeguard America's soil and water resources. It is only through the or ganized efforts of farmers and ran chers, and with the help of the public through Federal, state and local agencies, that the greatest production goals of all times can be met and the fertility and pro-ductiveness of the soil maintain-ed " Luker declared. . Defense Workers Praised For Bond Boosting Utah people working in defense establishments are setting high marks in U. .S. Defense Bond ac-tivity that could well be the goal of all patriotic citizens, according to Charles L. Smith, state chair-man for the Treasury Dept's. Sav-ings Bonds division. . "Special commendation is due the several thousand Tooele Ord-nance depot employees who have just won the highest Defense Bond honor the nation gives, the Min-ute Man honor flag for more than 90 per cent participation in bond buying", Mr. Smith declared. This award is reserved for military-nav- al installations having more than 1,000 employees. "I congratulate their command-ing officer, Col.. J. D. Barnett, for this patriotic accomplishment. "Defense workers seem very much aware of the dangers facing our country," Mr. Smith said. "Al-ong with the close relatives of service men, they are doing their part admirably well in the fight against inflation at home. They realize the important role of De-fense Bonds in making our coun-try strong." The Utah bond chairman expres-sed confidence that others would become increasingly aware of the fighting man's message: "Defense is your job, too!" Plans to present the Minute Man Flag to Tooele Ordnance De-pot are now being made through the Washington office of the Sav-ings Bonds Division. At the same time honor awards will be given more than 100 defense workers who conducted the depot's Defense Bond campaign. Utah Historical 1952 Quarterly Off The Press After many years of publishing book-lengt- h monographs, the Utah State Historical Society announces the return to a quarterly publica-tion schedule. By returning to this program the. Society feels it can best serve the interests of its mem bers, for it will provide an outlet forThe publication of more varied topics important to the history of the Intermountain West. To this end the Society encour-ages the submission of manuscripts for possible publication in the pages of the Utah Historical Quar-terly. The aim of the Quarterly will be to bring its readers a bal-ance between source documents and interpretive articles by present day writers. The four issues will be published January, April, July and October. Volume 20, Number 1, the first issue to appear under this pro-gram, was released January first. This issue contains several articles of value to the history of Utah and the Intermountain West, am-ong which are "Coin and Currency in Early Utah" by Leonard J. assistant professor of ec-onomics at the USAC and "A Pio-neer Paper Mirrors the Breakup of Isolation in the Great Basin", by Dr. A. R. Mortensen, executive sec-retary - editor of the Utah State Historical Society. Of especial interest is the jour-nal of Robert Chalmers, edited by Charles Kelly, together with a companion article by Mr. Kelly (which actually serves as an in-troduction to the Chalmers jour-nal), entitled "Gold Seekers on the Hastings Cutoff." These latter two articles serve to complete the picture of travel over Hastings Cutoff to the end of 1850 as told in Volume 19, West From Fort Brid ger. Together with these full len-gth articles, and in keeping with the Society's new policy, appear several book reviews, a list of publications dealing with the his-tory of the West, and a section devoted to historical notes. |
