January 4, 1956, the people of Mason County voted to form the Mason County Conservation District. As a result a partnership was formed on June 1, 1956 between the landowners of Mason County and the United States Department of Agriculture and its technical arm, the Soil Conservation Service. The SCS also provides technical assistance in the management of soil in such areas as legume and grass seedings, fertilizer application, management of existing stands of hay and pasture, and field trials of new plant materials. Another important part of the program is the aid given in woodland management in selecting the best soils for the planting of trees and the placement of access roads. O rva ion ac During the first part of the SCS-district partnership the SCS worked primarily with people on farm and ranch land. In the last eight years there has been a big change taking place in our workload. People who live in towns and urban areas are realizing that they have some of the same problems their rural neighbors have. We are also spending time helping local units of government with planning for expansion and development. Many land use changes are taking place, sometimes too rapidly to avoid costly mistakes. The SCS bases its work on the soil survey. This survey identifies and maps problem areas and gives information on the limitations of many soils. Flooding," thin layers of topsoil over hardpan, high water tables, slow percolation of water through tight soils, too fast percolation through gravelly soils, almost no topsoil, and soil slippage are some of the problems we find in Mason County. The soil survey published in 1960 has been interpreted for various kinds of urban and suburban uses by soil scientist Carl McMurphy, and civil engineering technicial Paul Census questions to be asked in county During the week of March 19-23 the U.S. Bureau of the Census will conduct its regular monthly survey on employment and unemployment in this area, according to John E. Tharaldson, Director of the Bureau's Data Collection Center in Seattle. In addition to the usual questions on current employment, the March survey will ask about work experience and income last year of household members, their origin or descent, and whether they have moved since the 1970 census was taken in April of that year. ]~ Mason County VFW No. 1694 meets 1st and 3rd Fridays- Memorial Bldg., 2nd and Franklin.

The watershed and flood prevention project which the SCS designed for the Skokomish Flood Control District No. 16 is still waiting for construction funds. A more favorable benefit - cost ratio is hoped for by many residents in the valley, especially those who fear an accidental channel change and those who must ford some of the deep spots to get home during flood time. Some streanrbank protection work is continuing through group projects. Conservation technician Cecil Phinney is providing planning and construction assistance to them. The increased flow of requests for assistance due to state legislation such as well registration, septictank regulations, and various required permits is forcing District Supervisors Martin Auseth, Bill Hunter and K.W. Frank to set priorities of work t\ r some of the projects. A resource conservation and development project is being considered at this time by the conservation district. The proposed project area includes Mason, Thurston, and Lewis Counties known as Washington Resource Planning District No. 5. This district was established by a governor's executive order August Mt.

The future of this project may lie in its ability to generate new kinds of assistance under the Rural Development Act of 1972. Proper planning and implementation of good soil and water programs will keep tons of silt and sediment from entering our streams and watercourses and eventually reaching places like Skookum Inlet, Oakland Bay, Pickering Passage, North Bay, and Hood Canal. For instance the Skokomish River contributes an estimated 23 acre feet of silt and sediment per year into Hood Canal. It settles out in an area over 1,000 acres in size but nevertheless it represents conservatively over thirty-eight thousand tons of sediment. So it seems that everything that can be done to keep a cubic yard of earth out of the waterways will be of real benefit for everybody. THERE MUST be power in the states and nation to remould, through experimentation, our economic practices and institutions to meet changing social and economic needs. Louis D.

How can you be SURE you'll always have hot water at YOUR house? Gas-fired water heaters have a treasured reputation for keeping hot water flowing in households of all sizes, without interruption. No waiting. No disappointments. Gas delivers because nothing heats water like natural gas. If your flameless water heater leaves something to be desired, why not inquire about a change-over.
