Seven years of conserving New Mexico soil and water were celebrated by the Soil Conservation Service. Since the 1933 start with an erosion research station on the Navajo reservation, over 10 percent of the state’s population directly benefited at a $10 million expenditure, with flood control and watershed projects aiding about 11,000 people and 45,000 residents in nine cities. City water supplies and grazing lands were protected or rehabilitated, with about 1,000 farm and ranch families signing cooperative agreements and 400 grazing-permit families benefiting. Regional conservator Hugh G. Calkins said the seven-year period developed conservation practices significantly.
