Four County Students Win Awards
In Soil Conservation Essay Contest

| clean up our county. How can
we expect to gain new citizens,
if they find the standard of liv-
ing here too low, or the county's
appearance undesirable? There
fore, we must work to improve
the landscape to attract those
people who will aid us in the
development Of our county.
Observing the past, we notice
that much more could have been
done towards conservation. APP
athy and inadequate facilities can
be blamed for this. Our fore
fathers lacked the ingenuity to
take important steps towards
future goals. Likewise, many of
our present day citizens are in
sufficiently informed of the i'm
pOrtance of working for the
future. Also, there has been a
tendency to grab for money now,
and to ignore whatever conse-
quenCeS the future may bring.
But, IN a greater sense, the past
is not so important, since it is
the present with which we must
deal, and the future we must
shape.
Each year tons of our topsoil
are swept away by waters ero-
Sive force. Strict measures must
be taken to avoid waste by ero-
sion. Proper farming methods
must be encouraged and prac-
ticed by our agricultural leaders
to serve as an example to those
who lack the ability to carry out
such methods. Contour and strip
farming h e Up to prevent the
formation Of gulleys which des-
troy the natural beauty Of the
land, and cause the farmer great
financial loss.
A project for the future is the
extension of farm ponds. These
ponds if numerous enough will
aid in flood prevention, by catch
ing the excess water from hills
during heavy rains. In addition
to this, these ponds will serve
as a means of recreation, and
protect against the dangers of
water shortage during droughts.

water supply would be lowered
due to the surface water not hav-
ing time to soak into the ground,
causing a waste of an important
resource, water.
We should not go from one
extreme, not enough cropland,
to the other extreme, removing
valuable forest area to use for
cropland. Instead we must clear
only idle land for cultivation.
The clearing of forests is not
the only cause of erosion. Lack
of contour farming, strip-crop-
ping, and rotation of crops has
caused great erosion damages in
our country. For example, in
the United States 100000 acres
of land once suitable to cult
Vation are lost by erosion every
year.
Another reason we should use
every acre of idle land is that
transportation is fast becoming
problem in our country. A
growing population has caused
need for more and better high
ways. Also this great population
increase has created a need for
more and larger industrial plants.
These highways and industrial
plants have been built on many
acres of valuable cropland.
In the same manner, strip
mining has ruined many acres of
cropland. We should limit strip
mining for two reasons: Our
coal supply cannot last forever,
and good farms are being made
useless by strip-mining.
But l am optimistic. The peo-
pie of Noble county are steadily
improving concerning the con-
serVation and development of all
natural resources.
For example, in the past twen-
ty to twenty-five years residents
of Noble county have created
their own conservation system
in cooperation with the United
States conservation efforts. No

observing National Wildlife Week
and that conservationists, schools
and other groups are focusing
public attention on the problem
of keeping wildlife numbers up
as natural wildlife habitat goes
down. Since most wildlife is a
farm Crop" farmers are very
much ION the spot" in any public
observance of this kind, Starr
said.
Game populations, song birds,
and other wildlife flourish or
decline from the effects of many
factors and it is not always pos
sible for the individual farmer
to control all of them. However,
biologists generally agree that
the one best way to assure lots
of wildlife is to give them the
kind of habitat they need.
Habitat involves just three things
ordinarily-the right kind of
food, proper shelter from natural
enemies, and a wholesome water
water supply. These must be
available, not just in the summer
time, but throughout the year in
most cases.
According to Merle Marietta,
U. S. Soil Conservation Service
technician at Caldwell, "plans for
good Wildlife habitat can be in
cluded right in the same soil
conservation plan that sets the
stage for other farm management
practices. If a farmer wishes to
encourage certain kinds of birds
or animals, we can help him
make his farm attractive to them.
And if it's fish he is interested
in, we can look into the possibili-
ties for proper stocking and care
of his farm pond"
Farmers of the area have
already done a great deal to i'm
prove the outlook for wildl;fe,
Starr said. In the last five years
they have stocked 60 ponds with

protection. rs acres have been
set aside and planted as food
patches for wildlife. Lime and
fertilizer on grassland improves
the cover and food available to
wildlife on numerous acres.
In addition, cooperators with
out special wildlife practices have
improved the food and shelter
situation with the diversification
of crops that goes with conserva-
ton farming. The way we fall
down most often is in failing to
provide food and cover through
the winter months, he added.
Persons who own or operate
land and are interested in doing
more to provide for needs OF
wildlife are urged to seek advice

board of supervisors to give ad-
vice concerning whatever con-
servation problems the county
may have.
The farmers of this county
have begun to realize the i'm
portance Of strip-cropping, to
check erosion; rotation of crops,
to prevent depletion of the soil;
building of farm ponds, to con-
serve water; and limiting strip
mining, to protect good farmland
from ruin.
Noble county made a great
step toward water conservation
and recreational areas by sup
porting and helping build Sen
eca Lake, one of the lakes in the
Musklngum Watershed System.
l only hope that we young peo-
pie can continue to improve in
the next fifteen years as our
parents have in the past few
years. If we do improve, Noble
county by 1875 will have more
farms that are obeying the prin-
ciples Of conservation and re-
source development. But if we
don't improve then Noble county
will have a disasterous future
The next fifteen years will
depend upon us. Shall we con-
tinue to improve or shall we neg
lect Noble county? This is our
challenge. Personally l think we
shall improve.

in our conservation program.
Trees lessen the danger of ero-
sion and floods by holding the
soil together, and by absorbing
large amounts of water through
their roots. In dealing with ero-
sion, remember this: can ounce
of prevention is worth a pound of
cure" Reforestation needs to be
put at the head of the list of
coun y improvements. Barren
ground, particularly the less
fertile hills, need to be planted
in trees. These trees will not
only prevent this land from lying
in waste, but also contribute to
our wealth when they are cut.
Forests aid in protection of
another of our resources-wild-
life. The destruction of our for
ests through carelessness de-
stroys the homes Of many of our
wild animals. We must estab-
lish sanctuaries and set aside
areas of land for the specific
purpose of providing a haven for
this wildlife. We derive enjoy
ment from our Wildlife; hence,
it is up to us to pass laws and
limit hunting seasons for their
protection.
AS l stated earlier, conserva-
ton deals with great deal more
than the ordinary Interpretation
would seem to present. Trans
portation, education, and miner
ais probably would not enter
your mind when thinking of con-
servation, but each has great
deal of Importance in the devel-
oping of bright future.
One of the most important
elements in our daily routine is
transportation. Modern automo-
biles cannot withstand the rough
use on bad highways. Many of
our roads are in a deplorable
state. In response to this fact,
we must strive to build and main
tain new and more adequate
highways, to keep up with the
changing times. If we plan the
task of building new highways
carefully, we can eliminate our
transportation lag by 1875.
More important than transport
alton, however, is the demand for
better educational facilities. No
BILE county schools have an mad
equate number of teachers. The
students are being deprived of
the opportunity of a choice of
subjects. Every school needs a
laboratory for the study of the
sciences. Since the cost of hiring
more teachers and the building
of laboratories would be exces-
sive, centralized school seems to
be the only way Of eliminating
these shortages.
The athletic programs of our
schools do not include a great
enough variety of sports. More
beaches, parks, and places of
wholesome recreation must be
built to overcome the meager
athletic programs of our schools.
l believe that our aim should be
to have these before 1875.
The development of our min
erals, such as coal and natural
gas must be encouraged. 1t is
true, however that we are not
rich in natural resources. But
with the development of other
conservation programs, these will
follow accordingly. With the
wise use of these resources we
can look forward to period of
great industrial growth and a
raise in our standard of living.
Conservation is, in fact, Chal-
lenge to those citizens who aspire
to have a rich, beautiful and pro-
ductive county. ! do not be-
lieve that our conservation pro-
grams can all be dealt with in
fifteen years. The future of our
county will rest in the hands of
our young. Will we leave our
