servation Act of 1885. The appro-
priation, which is separate item in
the 1854 Appropriation Act, provides
only such authority as is contained
in this basic legislation. Hence, the
appropriation does not provide for
certain forms of assistance, such as
irrigation and drainage, which are
being provided to soil conservation
districts and other cooperators under
the authority of other laws.
The Soil Conservation Service has
been assigned general responsibility
within the Department of Agricul-
ture for the watershed protection
program. The Forest Service and
other agencies will cooperate with
the Service in carrying out certain
phases of this program, which are
within their respective fields of re-
sponsibility.
The objective of the watershed
protection program will be to COM
plete, as nearly as practicable with
in a period of five years, program
of flood prevention and soil and wa
ter conservation in each designated
watershed that will provide reduc-
ton to the fullest practicable extent
of flood water, sediment and land
damages occurring within and down
stream from the watershed.
The success of watershed projects
is largely dependent upon the extent
to which concerned local people and
their agencies participate in planning
and carrying out the watershed pro-
gram. The Service will participate
in this program by assisting soil con-
servation districts in program de-
velopment, and in security the CO.
operation of other local agencies con-
cerned in the installation and main
tenance of the program.

Pilot Watershed
Project Studied
By TRUMAN C. ANDERSON
State Soil C0nSerUati0niSt

CONGRESS APPROPRIATED $5,-
100000 for use in fiscal year 1854 to
permit start to be made on some
SO or more small watershed protec-
ton projects for Unconstitutional
purposes in some "a states. The esti-
mated total Federal cost of these
projects is $28,706,OOO. 1t is expected
that local people will contribute at
least an equal amount to carry out
these projects over period of not
more than five years.
One pilot watershed protection
project is now in the investigational
stage in Montana. This is located in
the Muster Creek Watershed in
northeast Custer County. If the
plans now under way prove feasible,
appropriations for construction will
be recommended for the 1855 fiscal
year.
Montana's fifty-eight organized
soil conservation districts are being
informed of this program at this time.
If the people living within these dis
tricts believe there are small water
sheds (not to exceed 100 square
niles within their area where ero-
sion and flood damage justify joint
Federal and local cooperation, they
should contact their local Soil Con-
servation Service representative or
Soil Conservation District governing
body. These people will be able to
assist them in making proper appli-
cation for further investigations and
studies.
Congress has indicated its intent
that this program shall be carried out
to provide experience in developing
sound procedures for local-state-Fed-
eral cooperation in achieving the wa
tershed detectives of local people and
to demonstrate the actual physical
results of planned watershed pro-
gram by determining increased pro-
ductivity, decreased erosion, de-
creased floodwater and sediment
