Soil Conservation progress urged for 1952 plans
Adolph Kneese, Gillespie County Soil Conservation District chairman, says 1951 shows good progress by cooperators despite drought and that greater effort is needed in 1952 to conserve soil and water while boosting production. In 1951, 18 new groups with 125 farmers requested district help. 17 groups sought meetings and field tours. Since Feb 21, 1948, 371 requests covering 239,223 acres have been filed, showing rising local interest.
