March is a month of melted snow and mud, thawing during the day, and freezing up again overnight. In March, the land that has been locked in snow and ice for many moons hears a new sound, the rustle of running water in place of silent snow. The first warm days bring only a trickle but as the sun grow stronger a loud murmur is heard as tiny rivu- lets form gradually, growing stronger, hurrying down slopes to join the brooks. This music of spring increases as the water splashes into creeks end rushes on into larger streams which pour their gathering floods into the bigger rivers, forcing them to give up their coating of winter's ice. It is impressive to see and hear nature's breakup of this mighty river's Ice-Cap, starting with a grinding roar, great cracks appearing, Lees breaking off, as the whole mass starts downstream gathering mom- entum.

Land that is too wet or stony or is otherwise not at for cult- ivation but needs only ordinary good management to be used safely far trees or grass. Class VI, Land that is too steep, eroded, rough, shallow, or dry but can be used for forestry or grazing if handled with great care. Class VIII. Land that has some limitation that makes it unfit for cultivation, grazing or forestry but that may be valuable for wildlife, re- creation, or watershed protection, It includes such areas as marshes, des- erts, badlands and mountains. SOIL CONSERVATION There are eight land classes and they are listed below with deer de- scriptions, LAND SUITED FOR CULTIVATION Class I, Very,good land that can be cultivated safely with ordriery geed farming methods. Class IL Good land that an he cult- ivated safely and easily with conser- vation practices. Class III. Moderately good land that can be used regularly for •,tiltii.,ated Crops in a good rotation am: nee Is in- tensive conservation treatments. LAND USED FOR LIMITED CULTIVATION Class IV. Fairly good land that is best suited to pasture and hay but HOW A CONSERVATION FARM PLAN IS MADE Farmers and Soil Conservation Ser- vice technicians work together in mak- !ing conservation farm plans.They go ' over the farm and study the kind of !land they have to deal with on each 'field, pasture, or wood lot, they check with the land capability map. The farmer tells the technician what kind of farming he wants to do—what crops he wants to grow, what live- stock he has, what machinery he has, and so en, The technician points out what the land is capable of doing and 1 what needs to be done to cheek eros- ion, control water, and keep the land , productive in each field. Together, they decide which fields to use for crops and where the pastures, mead- ows. and woods should be. They may decide to change some field boundar- ies so that all land in each field is suited for the same purpose; this may involve changing some fences and farm roads. Some cropland may have to be changed to pasture, meadow, or woods. There may be some idle land, pasture, or woodland that is suitable for cultivation.

I They plan the ,crop rotations and esti- mate how much fertilizer or lime each field will need. They decide which fields to cultivate on the contour and where to strip-crop. They determine which fields need to be terraced or drained and where to build farm ponds and grassed waterways. They decide which pastures need to be fer- tilized or reseeded and v.rork out a grazing program. They plan how to manage the wood lots. they may make special plans for food and shel- ter for wildlife. And they figure out how many livestock the farm will carry under the new system and plan a livestock program to fit the crop- ping program. Then they plan how and when the farmer will make each of the changes in land use and install the conservation measures. When all the details are agreed upon, they att put down in a written plan that includes a special farm map. This plan then becomes th,2, basis for a co-operative agreement between the farmer and his soil conservation 'dis- trict. The district then may help the farm get equipment, planting stock, or other materials he needs and does- n't have on his farm, The Soil Conser- vation Service technicians will con- tinue to give the farmer technical help in installing the conservation meas- ures. This method of working out a con- servation plan for each farm accord- ing to the capacity and needs of the land seems to be the most practical way to get a lasting conservation pro- gram on the land. The plan should serve as a blueprint for sonservation operations for many years. hut if changes in markets, prices, or other conditions make it desirable to change the plan, this is fairly easy to do. We have enough good land left en this continent to keep us prosperous and well fed if we conserve it while using it. We know that we can do this; and we know how to do it. But, will we do it in time?
