Show S90 County Farms Participating In Conservation Plans Many of the 590 Duchesne county farms participating in the Agricultural Conservation program have been in training1 since 1936. During the 15-year period a few new farms have been recruited and there have been a few casualties, but a great many have been getting ready for whatever production demands lie ahead. In making this kind of comparison, com-parison, Reed Lyons, chairman of the County PMA committee, calls attention to the preparedness prepared-ness of county farms to meet the nation's needs. The heavy production demands of World War II were met due to the soil and water conservation "training" "train-ing" before the war, and the "training" has continued ever since. As a result of these conservation conserva-tion practices, erosion has been reduced and the topsoil held on these farms is ready to meet the nation's production needs. Grasses and legumes have held the soil, adding humus and building up reserve strength. Phosphate has helped increase the growth of grass and legumes. le-gumes. "In a very realistic sense, the i farms of Duchesne county are physically fit because they have kept in training since 1936," Mr. Lyons said. "The training program pro-gram has helped to restore our land to health and strength and prepare it to meet the needs of i an increasing population as well 'as any war needs that may lie 1 ahead." |
