Texas Seeks Conservation to Shield Soils and Forests
A state study highlights urgent soil protection and forest stand conservation as urban growth steadily erodes rural Texas lands. Between 1953 and 1957, agricultural land dropped to about 750000 acres, with 309000 acres converting to urban use and portions lost to ponds, reservoirs, or federal lands. Officials urge action through the Soil Conservation Service, water districts, and other agencies, with forthcoming detailed reports and county capability analyses.
