Soil and water appraisal released for county reference
The most comprehensive appraisal of the Nation s soil and water resources is now available at the local USDA Soil Conservation Service office. SCS district conservationist Charles Mussman notes that erosion is critical in many farming areas and could threaten food production and upstream flood damage if trends continue. The RCA appraisal replaces earlier drafts with extensive public comments guiding a conservation program to be released for public comment this fall. The Railway Labor Act case upholding employer non interference in bargaining was noted from 1930.
