HEMPHILL COUNTY
SOIL CONSERVATION DISTRICT
NEWS
V. C. Marshall, "Father of Soil
Conservation Districts," will be
honored at the 15th annual con-
vention of the Association of
Texas SCD Supervisors in Lub-
bock January 18, 19 and 20.
Marshall, 70, retired December
31, after 16 years as executive
director of the Texas State Soil
Conservation Board. Well known
to rural Texans for nearly 40
years, Marshall helped write
Texas' first rural aid bill for
schools which inaugurated the
school bus system and free trans-
portation for rural kids.
Since the early 1930's he has
been an active leader in the con-
servation movement and is gen-
erally credited with having done
more than any other individual
to make Soil Conservation Dis-
tricts a fact in Texas.
He helped write, then vigor-
ously supported, the bill which
became Texas' Soil Conservation
District law when it passed the
Legislature in 1939. This law op-
ened the way to formation of
SCD's as legal subdivisions of
state government, and it placed
control of the districts directly in
the hands of farm and ranch
people.
For a while, Marshall was
chairman of the first State Soil
Conservation Board — the group
which administers the state SCD
law. Later he became the State
Board's first executive director
and in that position helped or-
ganize the 172 districts which
now cover more than 97 per cent
of Texas.
