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.
