Need for soil conservation work in southwest Iowa
Paul C. Strickler, project agronomist of Shenandoah, urged soil conservation in southwest Iowa during a Malvern CC Camp meeting. He cited the border position of the county to western dry areas, the need to revise cropping and grass culture, and hopes for better cover using grasses suited to local climate. He noted high annual rainfall but torrential runoff, rapid evaporation from dry air, and strong subsoil fertility that supports lush vegetation even with topsoil loss, making legumes perform well and erosion less acute. Supt. F J Brinarombe introduced Strickler and H G Gearhart of the Malvern Community Club voiced appreciation.
