Th'i matter of being ready when

"To attack more intelligently the
problem of soil and water conser-
vation in our state and nation,
the vocational agriculture teachers
and their F. F. A. boys must first
of aU know how to carry out the
practices Involved in farm plan-
ning and in soil and water con-
servation. and cooperate with the
Soil Conservation Service, along
with other agricultural agencies.
J. H. Taylor, vocational agricul-
ture teacher at Dublin High
School, ao expresses the attitude
of vocational agriculture and of
the Future Farmer* of America
| toward soil conservation work In
| the state and nation.
With the idea of cooperating
with the Soil Conservation Service
to further conservation practices,
and to honor the United States’

F. F. A. boys of the 34 counties

a huge conservation program Fri-

Watershed Conservation Project in
Dublin.
W. P. Hallmark at Dublin,
strong ally of conservation work,
originated the request that* Area
Future Farmers sponsor the pro-
gram honoring Dr. Bennett. Hia
suggestion waa enthusiastically
approved by L. P. Merrill of Fort
Worth, regional soil conservator.
Subsequently the program was
worked out with Roy H. r'*ugh,
acting manager of the Green Creek
project, and W. R. Heiaer, agron-
omist, cooperating with A. J.
Spangler and Roy B. Mefferd of
