Soil Conservation Has
Role in School Studies
By MISS ALICE FRENCH
Holt Co. Supt. of Schools
Soil conservation is a definite
part of the social studies course
in the seventh and eighth grades
of the rural schools the year they
study Nebraska. It is also integ
rated in other classes such as
arithmetic where the statistics
are used in problems and graphs,
English classes where essays,
themes and letters are written
on different topics and science
with experiments. Many inter
esting booklets, pamphlets, com
ic books, etc. can be obtained
from the United States depart
ment of agriculture and these
may be used in reading classes,
for special reports and on reading
tables.
One of the red letter days for
the study of soil conservation m
Holt county this year was the
conservation day in September
when seventh and eighth grade
pupils from both rural and town
schools were guests of the Holt
County Soil Conservation Dis
trict in O’Neill. The day’s pro
gram included films, talks, dem
onstration and was completed by
a conservation “chalk talk" by
L. D. Martell of. Pierce.
Following the conservation day
program, the district association
announced an essay contest for
students on the topic, “My Ideas
on How the Soil Conservation
District Can Help Farmers and
Handlers in Holt County.” For
ty-four essays from 14 schools
v ere entered and appropriate
prizes were given each of the
top three.
“Conservation is the saving of
what mother nature has given
us and it can’t be done alone. We
all must study the best ways to
save our soil,” says Miss French.

Conserving Soil Is
Educational Problem
By MRS. HELEN KREYMBORG
Holt County Home Agent
“I hate dust.”
“Why don’t farmers keep their
top soil at home?”
These are the irritations and
questions that concern the av
erage homemaker. However, if
she would truly think “why
don’t farmers keep their top
soil at home?” these questions
would probably come. “Is it be
cause they don’t know how?"
•Is it because they don’t realize
the loss?” and “Is it because they
don’t care?”
I’m sure farmers do realize
there is a real economic loss
when their top soil gets away
whether it’s by wind or water.
And I’m just as sure they do
care.
The answer of “don’t know
how” is also coupled with cost.
Education or “know how” does
cost money, but it is money well
spent.
As all of us recall, there was a
time when people suffered and
died with small pox, but due to
public education a case of small
pox is a rare thing in this part
of the United States. It would
seem only logical that all educa
tional effort can be coupled with
the desire of people to save our
top soil and the results can equal
the curtailment of small pox.
"We all must learn about soil
conservation, not only for our
selves but for future genera
tions,” Mrs. Kreymborg con
cludes.
