CONSERVING OUR RESOURCES Conservation of the earth’s re sources is everybody’s business, regardless of where we live. Our very life depends on a thin firm soil and the living things it sup ports. We have many kinds of soil due to many factors such as par ent material, climate conditions, vegetation, topography, and age of the land. Subsoil is made up of water, air, rock materials, and organic matter. Man has destroyed nature’s pro tective covering by cutting down forests and plowing up land, ex posing it to the full forces of wa ter and wind. After every rain the water rushes off the sloping land, carrying with it precious topsoil and plant food. Erosion can be checked and controlled by good land manage ment practices such as contour farming, strip cropping, terracing, gully control, mulching, wind breaks, use of cover crops, grass land improvement and reforesta tion. We must remember that soil is not the only resource of conserva tion. There are water, forests, grass and wildlife, too. Water, grass and forest conservation all work much together. Nature has many ways of con serving water and of controlling it to prevent too rapid evapora 47,000 Trees and Shrubs to Be Planted— Approximately 47,000 trees and shrubs will be planted as wildlife cover in Holt county this spring. The Holt county soil conservation district is cooperating with the state game commission and will be planting the game cover areas this spring. By having the various soil conservation districts plant the game areas, it is hoped to get the trees planted sooner and thus encourage greater survival. Each year, about this time, the game commission receives several requests for trees for spring planting. In most cases the plant ing stock has all been allotted and late requests cannot be filled. Al though it is difficult to anticipate tree planting needs a year in ad vance, it is the only way of in suring that you will receive trees the following spring. Therefore, if you are thinking of planting a wildlife area but did not have your request in for the 1956 quota, send your requests in now. You will be contacted sometime during he summer for the following spring’s planting. Send your requests to the state game commission office at Bas sett or contact the SCS office or :ounty agent at O’Neill. tion or runoff from the land. Man has often upset the water balance in his desire to grow more crops. He drains ponds, plows under nat ural sods and grasses, and cuts down timber. Wildlife is among our most val uable resources. Given a chance, wildlife will restore itself faster than any other resource. Closed seasons or times when a particu lar fish or game animal may not be killed, gives wildlife a chance to multiply. I give my pledge, as an Am erican, to save and faithfully to defend from waste the natural re sources of my country — its soil and minerals, its forests, water and wildlife.
