Conservation Meeting
Set For June 1
*
"Public views on the
future of the conservation,
protection and enhancement
of Texas' soil, water, and
related natural resources
will be sought at a meeting to
be held in the U.S. Army
Reserve Center in Rio
Grande City at 7:30 p.m. on
Thursday, June 1, 1978."
John A. Shuford, chairman
of the Starr County Soil and
Water Conservation District,
said.
The meeting is in response
to President Carter's signing
of the Resources Con-
servation Act last November
which requires an appraisal
and evaluation of the state
and nations' soil and water
conservation program.
"The RCA act authorizes
and directs the Secretary of
Agriculture to deveiop a
national soil and water
conservation program in
cooperation with the public,
our local soil and water
conservation districts, the
Texas State Soil and Water
Conservation Board, and the
Soil Conservation Service,"
said Silvestre Gonzalez,
District Conservationist.
"This program will
establish new direction for

future soil and water con-
servation e forts in Texas
based on current soil, water,
and related resource ap-
praisals," Gonzalez contin-
ued. "One point 1 want to
make clear is that districts
in their 40-year history have
always assisted landowners
with voluntary conservation
programs on their farms and
ranches. We do not advocate
any other approach since
farm and ranch land is
privately owned and that the
interests and welfare of the
owners must be served and
that programs must be
acceptable to them," Gon-
zalez added.
Actions required by the
RCA act include gathering
data to appraise the con-
dition and quality of Texas
and the nations' soil and
water resources by 1979.
The act also outlines a 5-
year plan for the U. S.
Department of Agriculture's
conservation assistance to
districts and requires an
evaluation of the ef-
fectiveness and progress
of ongoing programs.
Reports will be madf to the
public and Congress.
"Our first meeting will
primarily deal with
discussions on soil and
water resources in the
district and how to conserve
them," Gonzalez said. "The
public will also have the
opportunity to learn more
about the RCA act and the
mission, relationship, and
responsibilities of the
district and Soil Con-
servation Service.
"I want to emphasize that
a grass roots, bottom-up
approach is the key to this
act. Our district and Soil
Conservation Service will
need to identify specific
resource concerns and
associated problems, if any,
in addition to determining
the extent and severity of
these problems.

LILLY SAYS THANKS TO VOTERS
With the greatest humility and pride, I would like to
express to the people of Starr County, to my many
supporters, and to my valued friends of old and newly
acquired, my most satisfying appreciation and thanks
for placing their confidence in my ability by voting for
me in the May Primary Election on May 6, 1978, for
Justice of the Peace, Precinct No. One.
Even though I lost the race, I feel as if I had won. I
have acquired a great experience and an education
which I never would have obtained without having
actively participated in a political campaign and as
long as I live I will never forget this election.
I can only reiterate again my thanks to all concerned
with my hopes that our mutual friendships will endure
for a long time.
