DISTRICT DOINGS 



Planning 



Highlighting district doings this time of 

 year is the making of annual reports and 

 annual work plans. People never plan to fail, 

 but people often fail to plan. So it is with 

 some Soil and Water Conservation Districts. New 

 guidelines have been recommended, for compre- 

 hensive, integrated, conservation planning. 



Legislation 



Also receiving much action by Soil and Water 

 Conservation Districts recently are meetings 

 with legislators and county commissioners to 

 acquaint them with legislative proposals and 

 needs. Many fine meetings have been reported. 



JOHN SCHROEDER REAPPOINTED 



As we go to press, it has been learned that 

 Governor Tim Babcock has reappointed John M. 

 Schroeder of LoLo to a new four year term on 

 the State Soil Conservation Committee. 



Congratulations, John.
