Four points of USDA program

The U.S. Department of Agriculture announces a proposed national conservation program to deal with the serious resource conservation problems ahead of American agriculture. FOUR POINTS highlight the program, according to George Murphey, district conservationist, Soil Conservation Service (SCS): --Setting soil and water conservation priorities; --Strengthening the role of local and state governments in conservation planning; --Increasing budget coordination and cooperation between USDA agencies; and -Targeting more USDA conservation assistance to critical problems and areas. THIS PROGRAM is the proposed response to Congress required by the Soil and Water Resources Conservation Act of 1977 (RCA), Murphey said. It is based on an extensive appraisal of the conditions of the nation’s soil and water resources and an analysis of future trends. Highest national priority in the proposed conservation program is reducing soil erosion to maintain the longterm productivity of agricultural land. Second priority is reducing flood damages in upstream areas. Other priority activities are conserving water and improving water supply and quality, community-related conservation, improving fish and wildlife habitat, and increasing the use of organic waste. STRENGTHING the relationship between landowners or users and government at all levels is a principal feature of the proposed program. This would include having local conservation coordinating boards identify critical resource

Caroling at nursing home Twenty-seven students from the Putnam Area Vocational school’s health occupation program will visit area nursing homes Friday morning.

problem areas, set priorities and develop for action. Local boards would be based on the existing organizations-conser-vation district boards, Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation (ASC) committees, extension advisory boards and others. State boards would be organized along similar lines. A national board also would be set up to advise the Secretary of Agriculture. The relationship between the state government and the federal government would also be strengthened through an agreement signed by the governor and Secretary of Agriculture to establish cooperative activities and through federal block grants. Other features of the program include targeting USDA conservation dollars and people to critical areas; promoting tax incentives for conservation systems; targeting research, education and information toward the most critical problems; and setting up pilot projects to test new solutions to conservation problems. Current programs would continue. DETAILS OF THE new program are presented in the RCA Revised Draft Program Report and Environmental Impact Statement available for reference use at SCS and Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service offices throughout the state. The two USDA offices also have leaflets that summarize the program and contain a postage-paid, preaddressed response form. Comments on the proposed new program are encouraged. They must be mailed to the State Conservationist, Soil Conservation Service, 5610 Crawfordsville Road, Suite 2200, Indianapolis, 46224, before Jan. 15.
