CONSERVATION
 NOTES
By LEW E. HANKS

You know, I've been beating my brains, at least those that l have, for the last year or two try ing to think up something to write-something that might be read by a few farmers, something that might help us in preserving our greatest natural resource from destruction.
 Perhaps it might not be a bad idea to tell you about the soil conservation organization. You may be interested in knowing who my bosses are. I work on the Palmer and Wasilla soil conserva- ton sub-districts. I work with and for the supervisors of these sub- districts. These supervisors are farmers, elected by the people of their sub-districts. Henry Jensen is chairman of the Palmer district board, with Clarence Hoffman, Clair Patton, Bob Webb and Leo- hard Kyger as members.
 Mel Bjorn of Knik is chairman of the Wasilla district, with Jay L. Levan, Harold Dinkle, Martin Olson and Earl Combs as the oth- CT members. These farmers plan the conservation program for their respective districts. The soil conservation service can only work in areas by invitation and at the pleasure of these boards of supervisors. Thus the conserva- ton program is made right at the place and by the people who will use it.
 q You might wonder what our conservation program is. You don't see lot of big dams or con- tour strip cropping in the Valley. Our conservation program is one of simple things. Things like leaving Windbreaks and not fall blowing protect our soil here. Crop rotations, grass pasture seeding and good pasture man. agement are part of the program. The use of fertilizers, and prop erly clearing good land are also conservation. Wind strip cropping and the use of winter cover crops following green manure have their place.
 These are all simple ordinary farmer practices but they protect more soil than all the spectacular dams and engineering works in the world. These are the conser- vation practices that have pro- tected the top soils of Europe for hundreds of years. They can do it here also.
