w:'.th the times. Upwards of thirty years ago 

 we were soil districts, then the word water 

 was added and we became soil and water con- 

 servation districts. Today we are concerned 

 with pollution. Both air and water, grasslands, 

 farm forestry, private timber lands, weeds 

 pesticides, wildlife, beautlflcatlon, spoil 

 bank reclamation, multiple use, etc. etc. 



etc. 



It is Indeed a new ballgame. 



Districts in Montana have not been 

 standing still. They have succeeded in get- 

 ting some much needed legislation passed In 

 order to carry out a better job of conser- 

 vation. We must now use the new tools provid- 

 ed us to do a better job of conserving the 

 renewable natural resources of the great 

 State of Montana. We who live on the land 

 are well qualified to recognize the conserv- 

 ation problems that exist on the land and 

 stand ready and able to assist in the correc- 

 tion of these problems. 



MASWCD will Hold its annual convention 

 in Bozeman, on the 12, 13 & lA of November. 

 Many problems are due to be discussed such 

 as public relations, ammendlng by laws of 

 MASWCD and financial situation. Supervis- 

 ors will need to make decisions on several 

 Important resolutions. Among these are a 

 proposal for the association to buy the 

 Plant Materials Center at Bridger, Consider- 

 ation of a state raage plan, policy on re- 

 clamation of strip mined lands, conservation 

 education, supervisors workshop, and others. 



Since this Is your association may I 

 take this opportunity to ask all districts 

 to send as many supervisors as possible to 

 help us make this convention the best 

 ever.
