Abstract: How far the Nation and the States can go in applying direct remedies for soil misuse on privately owned land is a question that is now sharply in the forefront of national thinking. Certainly there is no one panacea, and certainly education alone is not enough. This article considers the possibilities and limitations of such measures as rural zoning, cooperative action in grazing associations, the soil conservation districts laws, resettlement of distressed farm families, revisions in reclamation policies, and changes in landlord-tenant contracts. Some of these measures are already being successfully applied. All are in the stage of question and debate natural in a democracy.
