There is no provision whatso-
ever in the law for the purpose of
taxing the land owner to pay the
expenses to carry on the program.
Nor docs the establishment of a
soil conservation district compel
a farmer to do anything. His par-
ticipation will be strictly voluntary.
The election December 14 does
not include any land use regula-
tions. If it should ever become ne-
cessary, this would require a sepa-
rate election and nine out of ev-
ery ten land owners voting in such
an election would have to. vote in
favor of any proposed regulations
if it carried.
Districts have been organized
on the basis of voluntary farmer
cooperation, and no district in any
State of the thirty-six states hav-
ing district laws, has voted any land
use regulations.

sell you a bottle of Creomulslon with
the understanding you must like the
