Frederick A. Filios of Northamp-

Ellyson Of st. Adams, Vermont, fit
into the former class, and E.Z.W.
Company of La Plata, Maryland
is in the latter. The three soil
scientists arrived in the latter part
Of November and will be working
in Montgomery County until this
coming Spring. Mr.. Filios and Mr.
Ellyson were accompanied by their
wives, and all five are occupying a
home which they have rented in
Gaithersburg. While in the County
the three are assigned for admin
istrative purposes to J. Fred Haz-
en-, Work Unit Conservationist of
the Montgomery Soil Conservation
District. They will work under the
immediate supervision of Warren
Souder, Soil Scientist regularly as
signed to the District.
1t is hoped that, as result of
the assistance provided by this
temporary personnel, the capabili-
ties of the greater part, if not all,
of the remaining two-thirds of
Montgomery County's agricultural
lands can be determined. This will
greatly speed the preparation of
farm plans for those farm owners
who desire them. Mr.. Hazen stated
that while farm plans are prepared
for farm owners and operators on
ly, information on land capabili-
ties is available to the general pub
lie at the Soil Conservation Service
Office which is located on the sec
ond floor, 215 E. Montgomery Ave-
nue., Rockville.

Conservation Fact Gathering
Program Underway in County

An accelerated program Of scien-
tific fact-gathering for soil con-
servation purposes is currently I'M
der way in the agricultural areas
Of Montgomery County-technical-
ly known as the Montgomery Soil
Conservation District.
For the past several years this
project has been under way. In
that time about one-third of the
County's farming areas have been
mapped, in accordance with a ma
tion-wide method for determining
the usefulness of land for various
types of agricultural activities that
has been developed by the Soil Con-
servation Service of the U. s. De-
partment of Agriculture.
This method, which is known as
the Land Capability Inventory, con-
sists essentially of assigning all
rural lands to one of eight major
categories according to soil type,
degree Of slope and extent of ero-
sion. This is done with the assist
ance of aerial photographs plus
actual battle-ground study of the
land. Once the land-capability class
of each portion of farm has been
determined and mapped, employees
of the Sos are able to advise the
owner as to the various uses to
which he should put each part of
his farm in order to obtain the
best long-range returns with little
or no damage to his land.
There is not the slightest COM
pulsion for an owner to use such
farm plan once it has been pre-
pared, but there has been q con-
stantly growing number of requests
from farm owners in Montgomery
County for their preparation and
advice as to their implementation.
The value of such Information has
also been recognized by many
others, including farm real estate
agents, prospective farm purchas-
ers, banks and other credit institu-
tions, fish and game organizations
and sportsmen's groups, and var
ious public agencies.
Last summer the growing de-
mand for this data led the Board
of Supervisors of the Montgomery
Soil Conservation District, and
other County representatives and
groups, to request the Maryland
State Soil Conservation Committee
for authorization to devote greater
amounts of the Montgomery Coun-
ty portions of State-supplied con-
servation funds to this aspect of
its work. The State Committee
gave its approval, and through the
efforts of M. F. Hirstberger, State
Soil Conservationist, qualified per.
sonnet have been obtained on q
temporary basis from other Con.
servation Districts where it is
either impossible to pursue such
work during the winter ION ac-
