state, the position of “district con-
servationist” is eliminated and a;
new position of "area conservation-
ist” is set up.
“In place of the 57 district con-j
servationists that we have had in
the state, we will have 25 area con-
servationists,” Walser explained,
pointing out that the term “dis-
trict conservationists” was often as-
sociated by the public with soil
conservation districts which are
independent sub-divisions of state
government.
Before the streamlining plan was
put into effect. Soil Conservation
Service officials consulted with
boards of supervisors, the local
farmers and ranchers who run the
affairs of the soil conservation
districts. The supervisors express-
ed general satisfaction with the
plan.
“The area conservationists will
be responsible for supervising serv-
ice personnel within their areas
and will act as production mana-
gers." Walser said. “It will be their
job to work full time on increasing
application of conservation on the
land. They have been reliwed of
the relations work that has been
carried on by the district conser-
vationsts with the boards of super-
visors of the soil conservation dis-
tricts and others helping with the
conservation program.”
Work unit conservations, who
are more familiar with local prob-
lems will be the Service represen-
tative in working with the boards
of supervisors, though their main
job will be to help farmers and
ranchers with their conservation
programs. That’s a logical step,
Wilser pointed out, because the
work unit conservations are al
ready in close touch with the dis-
trict supervisors and other agen-
cies and organizations giving as-
sistance to the districts. District
conservationists not re-assigned as
area conseravitonists have been
put in positions where they will
work more directly with farmers
and ranchers than in their former
jobs.
The realignment plan, which is
being carried out on a national
scale, is in keeping with the Soil
Conservation Service policy of per-
iodically analyzing its organization
and when possible increasing its
assistance to farmers and ranchers
in soil conservation districts, Wal-
ser explained. The present change,
he added, has been made possible
and desirable by these factors:
(1) the experience attained by soil
conservation district supervisors
which has enabled them to assume
greater responsibilities i n their
districts: and (2) the progress made
in the application of soil conser-
vation on the land which has cre-
ated greater demand for assistance
at local levels.
