Washington Moves to Permanently Back Soil Erosion Efforts

The measure creates a permanent soil conservation service within the agriculture department to manage wind and water erosion, using existing funds and personnel from the former soil erosion service. Senator Clint Small proposes similar Texas Panhandle wind erosion districts to qualify for tax remission in 1935 and 1936, with tax relief varying by county.
