THE LAND-
PROMISE and FULLFILLMENT
By D. A. Williams
Administrator
U. S. Soil Conservation Service
The approach of Soil Steward¬
ship Week, May 26 to June 2,
sponsored by the National As¬
sociation of Soil Conservation
Districts and national church
organizations, again focuses at¬
tention on the kinship between
a man’s spiritual beliefs and the
soil resources on which his life
depends.
tionship is always with us, con-
Our awarness of such rela-
seiously or unconsciously. Some
see the kinship most clearly
from a pine-blanketed mountain
as they look out over woods,
stripcropped fields and clear-
,running streams or sparkling-
lakes.
Others find it in turning a
a spadeful of living soil in the
mellow roll of the furrow slice
at plowing time. For soil not
only gives life,, it in itself is a
living thing, a combination of
living organisms around a skel¬
eton of finely ground particles
of sand, silt, and clay.
