It underscores the necessity for man to look beyond today’s horizons so he wifi be able, through judgement and wisdom, to adequately fulfill his multiplying responsibilities as ste wards of the soil and water. To remind us here in Brantley County, and all Americans of their responsibility to God and to society to conserve and wisely use these re sources, this week of May 19-26 has been designated as Soil Stewardship Week. The National Association of Soil and Water Conservation Districts has created soil stewardship materials for use during the week. There will be booklets, church programs, bulle tin inserts, posters Not only will you hear conservation preached in church — it will be on radio and television. Like many of you, when another National Week comes along we are tempted to pass it off as just an other National Week with a “So What?” But not this one. Not withstand ing the great spiritual significance of the soil and water, our every ex istence upon this earth depends on how well we conserve and utilize the resources God has given us.

Faster than any nation in history, we have destroyed our top soil. Be low the six inches which remain is desert, dispair and death. Dr. G. Ross Freeman, state chap lain of the Georgia Association of Conservation District Supervisors has said, “Forget the A-bomb and the H-bomb; unless we look after our soil and water resources we shall as surely perish.” , There is, indeed, a direct relation between the fertility of the soil, the availability of water, and the con dition of life. ' The hunger belt, the illiteracy belt, and the communist threat to the world coincide. The earth’s population will dou ble in the next 50 years. Already there is not enough land to feed the 3 billion people upon the earth. Another generation said, “If our children are to eat fruit tomorrow, trees must be planted today.” In a real sense, if our children are to eat at ail tomorrow, we must be good stewards of the natural re sources today. No, Soil Stewardship Week is not just another week we can pass off lightly with a “So What?” There are more revelant ques tions. Like, “What can I do to be a better steward of the soil, water and other natural resources God has; given me?”
