The Soil Conservation Service : Its Basis Of Co-Operation With Landowners, G W. Spencer, J. E. Watson
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
The Soil Conservation Act of 1945 set up within the Department of Agriculture a Soil Conservation Service under the control of a Commissioner of Soil Conservation.
The Service aims to promote types of land use which will conserve the soil and prevent or overcome soil erosion. It also aims to educate landholders and the public generally in the aims and practice of soil conservation.
This article relates mainly to farm land activities, and in particular the co-operation of the Service with individual primary producer landholders for the prevention and control of erosion on their land.
