Arkansas First to Pass New District Conservation Law
Arkansas becomes first state to pass a soil conservation district law enabling federal aid and coordinated erosion and moisture control programs. J W Sargent, state coordinator, notes law aligns with Agriculture Department standards and secures cooperation with federal funds for watershed projects.

The move aims to extend erosion control nationwide, reaching more farms and watersheds with technically guided programs.
