Northwest Alabama Soil Conservation District Year in Review
The 1953 drought year brought resignations and staffing changes in the Northwest Alabama district. New officers for 1954 include J. W. Counts as chairman and John M. Lile as secretary treasurer, with Counts elected to the state association executive committee. The district praises outgoing supervisors Rutland Cunningham and M. G. Glass and notes new Morgan County advisors. Several counties placed in the Save Enrich Our Soil Contest with local prizes and a Goodyear Conservation Awards program. The Mount Hope Conservation Club hosts annual field days and an active farmers club formed in Moulton in 1953 coordinates programs among agencies. Members credit district support for conservation farm plans and improved yields, with farmers Eldred Elkins and James W. Cooper cited for success and soil-care commitments.
