District Conservationist
Soil Conservation Service
Twenty-seven miles of
drainage for excess water control;
32 farm ponds; 73 structures for
water control are but a few of the
water management problems
solved in Mason County by the
Soil Conservation Service during
the last 16 years.
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

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.

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

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.

What a waste of precious time to wait for hot water to do dishes! When you
want hot water, you want HOT water. There's no substitute.., nothing
in between.., nothing almost as good. 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. Let the
Cascade man talk facts and figures with you. No obligation-except
the one you owe yourself.
