Soil Conservation During the War

Abstract: Report Introduction: Considerable interest has been shown in the problem of soil loss during the war period. Many people have wondered as to the price we paid for necessary war production in terms of impaired soil resources. On the other hand, an increased use of soil conservation practices helped to make that record war production possible. The influence of some factors during the war period has improved our present conservation status while at the same time it has deteriorated in other respects. The present task is to consider both kinds of factors which have affected the rate of progress toward the achievement of soil conservation objectives. Some of them are not necessarily direct war effects but may have merely happened to occur during that period.
