Continuing preseht nationwide soil and water conservation trends would mean serious future conservation and farm production problems, according to a US. Department of Agriculture (USDA) report. The finding is based on an analvsis of the condition and ENERGY SMKWHrsI • Avoid overdrying — overdrying wastes energy and can create static electricity and wrinkling as well as shrinkage of many cottons and knitted fabrics. • Use your dryer’s full capacity—energy is wasted when only one or two items are dried at a time. • Don’t overload—clothes dry more quickly if they can tumble freely. • Clean lint screen after each load—a build-up of lint lengthens the drying time and uses more energy.

trends of the soil, water and related resources of the United States. The analysis was part of a report required by Congress in the Soil and Water Resources Act of 1977 (RCA), according to Robert L. Eddleman, Soil Conservation Service state conservationist in Indiana The analysis shows that the demand for food and fiber produced in the United States would increase while technological advances in agriculture production would decrease. Without better technology to boost production, the demand to produce more food and fiber will mean that more acres of marginal land will be farmed The result will be increased soil erosion rates and other resource problems. If this happens the production capacity of American agriculture would decrease and production costs would increase The report explained that these resource problems need to be addressed most quickly: excessive erosion rates, upstream food damages ground water depletion *ad deteriorated water quality.

To project future conditions, the USDA analysts used a computer model to simulate the nation's agricultural productivity related to erosion Although the model’s results cannot be taken as absolute indicators of what will happen, they do show the relative direction of American agriculture and the possible magnitude of future resource conditions and problems. RCA Appraisal, Part 11, the second of three major RCA documents, contains the detailed analysis of the trends in the use and condition of America’s soil
