A great deal is 'being said and written in opposition' to the
constantly expanding power of the Federal Government
much of which we are in hearty accord. There is one Gov-
ernment activity however which we sincerely believe should
be continued andj4if necessary increased. We have refer-
ence to the conservation of soil and water In particular and
to the conservation of other natural resources in general.
The soil is the Nation's greatest asset. Allow it to be de-
stroyed and we destroy the Nation and the country becomes
a desert. There is ample evidence throughout the ;vviorld to
substantiate that statement. Therefore the Government
should have the power to .prevent soil erosion or aibuse of this
. resource upon1 which future generations depend for life.
We have some land owners who act as though the land to
which they hold a man-made title was created especially for
tihem. They hope it will last while they live and don't "give
a wal-lup" what happens to it after they are dead. It may
be that when they cross the river Styx someone waiting on
the othershore will ask them some very embarrassing ques-
tions about the use of the land left i'n their temporary care.
Farmers the land you plow and cultivate was created ages
and ages ago for the use of animal life and of mankind.
Your title of ownership is not recognized by the Creator.
Jit is man made. The land you call yours will be in use by
other generations after you have been forgotten provided
you do not destroy it or reduce its- productive value. Don't
you think that you are under obligations to leave ithat land
jui3t as good and even better than when you first occupied it?
We i-ometimes wonder if we will not be held accountable for
our sins of omission and commission in .permitting and aid-
ing in the destruction of natural resources iplaced here by
the Creator for use of man for all time to come.
Be wise and terrace your land immediately and save the
soil for future generations !
