The amount each member re-
ceived represented approximate-
ly ten cents of each dollar paid
for electricity by the member
constantly discovering ways to
better life; they are also learn-
ing how to use natural re-
sources to a greater advantage.
If this knowledge is fully exer-
cised, the disasters caused from
poor management can be com
tutted. To waste is to lose com-
pletely. When everyone realizes
the importance of conserving
natural resources and s t o ps
wasting than he will not only
be adding comfort to his life;
he will be saving someone else’*
life.
The world is becoming more
and more complex as the pop-
ulation increases, and natural
resources are being leaned upon
more heavily each day. The
need for food which has existed
since primitive times will con-
tinue to exist through the space
age. There are many everyday
essentials. Sites are needed for
homes, schools, factories and
recreation spots, and of course,
transportation routes to and
from these.
Conservation of our natural
resources is not something that
can be shrugged off. R is i
necessity we are responsible to
meet. America should zt least
set the example.
Conservation is truly the
“Key to Plenty.”

“Conservation: The Key
Plenty”
Conservation, as the title
says, holds the key to all. With-
out conservation we will even-
tually have no crops for the
food and clothing we need, we
will not have enough water,
nor enough materials for shel-
ter.
Each year we lose some of
our most productive land be-

"Conservation, the Key to
Plenty”
Soil conservation is the sur
vival of mankind. Few people
realize that all material essen-
tial for a happy, healthful life
comes from the soil.
During a time of overpopula-
tion and starvation, soil con-
servation is one of the most
important practices being car
ried on. One reason why the
United States has never faced
famine is that they had know
ledge of soil conservation A1
though the United States is
more advanced than any other
country in soil conservation prac
tices, every year thousands of
productive acres of land are
wasted into the ocean. There-
fore, one can realize the im-
portance of education in the
field of conservation.
There is much more to soil
conservation than just keeping
the soil from washing and blow-
ing away, although these are
the most important. The selec-
tion of crops to plant on cer-
tain types of soil is another im-
portant conservation practice.
One must select a crop that
will produce a high yield and
at the same time add to the nu-
tritional value of the soil. Be-
cause of this lack of know-
ledge in previous years con-
cerning cr o p rotation, thou-
sands of dollars are spent an-
nually on fertilizers.
In the state of Texas, flood
prevention dams have added
greatly in the fight of soil ero-
sion. These dams have served
several purposes. The dams
prevent floods and at the same
time provide water for livestock
in times of draughts. Irriga-
tion is another important asset
which is obtained. Also, recrea-
tional pleasures are enjoyed
due to this type of conserva-
tion. Some of these pleasures
are swimming, fishing and
skiing.
Soil Conservation is truly the
key to plenty, because without
it all the good productive land
in this nation would be gone
within a few years. Without
good fertile soil, products for
human consumption would not
be possible and the nation would
face starvation.
To conclude, every person
that owns land should and must
learn to conserve the so.il if
this nation is to remain strong
and healthy.
Cooperative permits. The pay-
ments bf refunds must be ap-
proved by the board of direc-
tors after careful consideration
of all aspects of the Coopera-
tive’s operations.
* Sufficient reserves must be
maintained to take care of un-
forseen emergencies and to
maintain and improve the dis-
tribution system to provide de-
pendable electrical service.
In the preparation and mail-
ing of the checks an extra ef-
fort was made to see that re-
funds were made to those en-
titled to receive them, even
though they may no longer be
members of the Cooperative.
Patronage refunds, some-
times referred to as “capital
credits,” are positive p r oof

operative is set up and operates
to bring service to rural farms
and homes at cost.
