conditions under a great variety
of treatments, but we carried on
numerous investigations with
respect to control and preven
tion.
Later, we discovered that this
information was strictly new, not
only for the United States but
for the world. Scientists and
others over the world asked for
the information and it was given
them freely from the very start.
Public interest in erosion was
vastly accelerated by this work—
so much so that in 1933 a nation
al program of soil conservation
was started with an allotment of
5 million dolars of relief funds,
under authority of the National
Industrial Recovery act.
In the beginning the principal
job was to find men who had had
any technical experience in soil
conservation work. This was not
easy. There were probably not
more than about 50.men in the
United States w&o really under
stood the meaning of sheet ero
sion. In the intervening years,
some additional men had been
trained. So we naturally turned
to these stations for whatever
help we could get. Then we re
cruited our staff from experienc
ed agriculturalists, who were put
to work under our most experi
enced men. Later, within the
Service, we operated training
schools.
r aimers imeu me w wa
the very beginning. After a few
months of field experience, we
were given additional funds for
the program. And later, still
more funds. We made some mis
takes, to be sure, but our suc
cesses vastly outnumbered them.
Out of this nursery and re
search work, along with our farm
experience in soil and water con
servation, we steadily refined
and improved the program with
every additional bit of informa
tion and every new plant that
proved worth while. Work mov
ed along so rapidly from the re
search stage into the operational
stage that some people became
confused about the real sequence
of events.
There were those who thought
the dust storms, current at that
time, were responsible for start
ing the big soil conservation ef
fort. The dust storms helped, to
be sure, but the program had
been going nearly 8 months when
the first great duster of May 12,
1934, blew across the country
from the heart of the Nation to
blot out the sun over the Capitol
at Washington.

Torfolk Tuesday
in hand, set us up under the first
soil conservation act ever passed
by any great Nation that we
know anything about. This was
the Soil Conservation Act of Ap
ril 27. 1935, Public No. 46, Sev
enty-fourth Congress, which
reads as follows:
"Be it enacted by the Senate
and House of Representatives
of the United States of Amer
ica in Congress assembled.
That it is hereby recognised
that the wastage of soil and
moisture resources on farm,
grazing, and forest lands of the
Nation, resulting from soil ero
sion. is a menace to the nation
al welfare and that it is here
by declared to be the policy of
Congress to provide perman
ently for the control and pre
vention of soil erosion and
thereby to preserve natural re
sources, control floods, prevent
impairment of reservoirs, and
maintain the navigability of ri
vers and harbors, protect pub
lic health ..."
This act established the Soil
Conservation Service as a perma
nent agency in the Department
^of Agriculture.
Since then, through the
drought and depression of the
1930’s and the war and postwar
periods of the 1940’s, the soil
conservation movement and the
program of the Soil Conservation
Service have made steady pro
gress. Over and over again, un
der a wide variety of circum
stances and needs, the usefulness
and value of scientific soil and
water conservation work has
been proved. In dry years, it
neipea conservation farmers store
water in the soil to brnig their
crops through drought to harvest
in good condition. In exception
ally wet periods, it has demon
strated its effectiveness in slow
ing down rapid and wasteful—
sometimes ruinous — runoff of
water that would have contrib
uted to flood peaks. In times of
crop surpluses, it has provided
the farmer with a sound basis
for making desirable changes in
his production, often toward
greater disversification, and with
a reduction in the per acre cost
of production.
In the 1930’s and even into the
early 1940’s, we were obliged to
devote a considerable amount of
time to educational work, prep
aratory to actual conservation
work on the land. This was a
slow but necessary activity, and
it served to hold down the an
nual rate at which conservation
measures were being applied.
It did not mean, however, that
conservation progress was slow.
The education of farmers and
ranchers in the forms and conse
quences of uncontrolled erosion,
as well as in the practical means
available to achieve permanent
conservation, are vital prelimi
naries to actual work on the land.
Without such understanding on
the part of the landowners, con
servation measures would not be
properly applied and certainly
they would not be properly
maintained.
In different words, I am say
ing that the number of farm
plans prepared, the number of
acres terraced, and the number
of farm ponds built are not the
only gauge of conservation prog
ress. Actual work on the land is
only one part of what is neces
sary to bring about and sustain
the conservation of land and wa
water resources. Not the least of
several other essential elements
in successful, lasting conserva
tion is the persistent,, patient
work to help farmers, ranchers,
understand with some clarity
what conservation farming is,
why it is necessary, and what is
required to start it and keep it
going on a sound basis.
All the conservation science
in lhe world will not get one
acre of privately-owned land
in this country protected a
gainst erosion, drained of ex
cess water, or used in accord
ance with its physical capabil
ity unless the landowner wants
it done and knows why he
wants it done.
So in measuring what has been
accomplished todate, the educa
tional work we have done ranks
near the top of the list. And m
fairness to the Soil Conservation
Service and its men who were
largely untrained in this field,
it must be noted that for years
they carried on with little or no
' help, as a general rule.
I I can remember clearly some
venerable individuals who conr
tended, in the face of thousands
of acres of gullies in their states,
that erosion was no problem
within their boundaries. There
were others who would have
nothing to do with the program
because they had not originated
it; still others actually opposed
it either because of reasons men
tioned above or because they de
cided, somehow, that it was a
political program.
There are still a few obstruc
tionists, and I suppose we must
be reconciled to them in soil con
servation as in every other field
of endeavor, but with each pass
ing year the Soil Conservation
ervice program has won more j
and more active supporters. To
day the program is one of the
most popular and most widely
praised of governmental activi
ties. The program has not been a
source of trouble and its backers
can be found in both major pol
itical parties and among conserv
atives and liberals alike.
They did not just happen. We
sacrificed, and I believe wisely,
a more imposing record of ac
complishment on the land, to
bring about a widespread under
standing of the need for conser
vation and its values.
The charge is being made now
adays that although we are doing
a very good job, we are going
too slowly and do not reach
enough farmers each year. This,
of course, raises a question about
the meaning of "slowly.” If we
were willing to reduce the qual
ity of our work, we could un
doubtedly build more terraces,
farm ponds, drainage ditches, and
diversions each year. We could,
by abandoning the fundamental
according to its needs and using
principle of treating each acre
each acre according to its capabil
ities, vastly increase the total
acreage of contouring, stubble
mulching, strip cropping, and
dozens of other conservation
measures. But what value would
this work have? How long would
it last?
Speed in soil conservation
work can only be measured in
relation to quality. I will agree—
and as a matter of fact I have
been saying for years—that we
are not going fast enough. We
most certainly need to move a
head faster; the rate of land dam
age still exceeds, in the aggre
gate, the rate of land protection.
But it would be folly and waste
to increase speed at the expense
of quality.
As a matter of fact, the present
program of the Soil Conservation
I Service is moving ahead faster
I than most people recognize. We
| are now treating in the neighbor
I hood of 2 million acres a year
j and simultaneously we are pro
ceeding with farm conservation
planning on a somewhat compar
able acreage. Work continues on
the national land capability in
ventory and each year, as a re
sult, we know the land facts a
bout an additional 30 million
acres. At the same time there is
continued progress in education
, and research.
The biggest part of the job
still lies ahead. More than
three-fourths of the area in
need of conservation treatment
is stUl untreated. But Our prin
ciples are sound, our quality of
work has been maintained at
high levels, and our support
continues to grow.
If the Service Is allowed to
proceed with the present pro
gram, maintaining the same high
standards, basing the work on
the needs and capabilites, of the
land itself, and utilizing the
strength of democracy and organ
ization inherent in soil conserva-,
tion districts, the United States
in due course will become the
first large nation in the history
of the world to succeed, by its
own efforts, in achieving a per
manently productive agriculture.
I hope for the everlasting good
of the nation nothing will be per
mitted to interrupt or delay this
conservation program of the
United States.
