Excerpt from Roles of Government in the Land Use Planning in the Great Plains The status of land use legislation was reviewed at the federal and state levels of government. There has been much committee action at the federal level the last few years but few bills have passed and the prospects for l976 have not improved. Although Wyoming enacted a statewide land use bill, l975 saw a shifting away from sweeping land use proposals toward more limited and specific proposals to protect the environment, regulate floodplains, guide development of key facilities and require cities and counties to prepare local land use plans. Activities at the federal level have been toward more inter and intra-departmental coordination of land use planning programs. Major land use problems and current legislation were summarized for the ten Great Plains States. The most often mentioned problems were soil erosion and sedimentation, preservation of prime agricultural land and the subdivision of rural lands.

Excerpt from Land Use Experience in Southern Great Plains Organic fertility and physical structure must both be renewed at appropriate intervals In class IV lands to compensate for the naturally rapid rate of deterioration these soils 'undergo when put in cultivation. Otherwise they will quickly become class VI or even class VII lands. The only means now known for effectively renewing productivity to maintain such lands at a satisfactory level is the use of soil -building crops with rest periods. It is highly important to cease cultivation before the soil structure breaks down to a stage beyond control, so that the sod cover can be regained while the soil is still stable and moisture conditions are favorable.

Excerpt from Four Hundred Million Acres: The Public Lands and Resources The Federal Government has assumed many new responsibilities since Lincoln's time, and will probably assume more in the future when the States and local communities can not alone cure abuse or bear the en tire cost of national programs, but there is an essential principle that should be maintained in these matters. I am convinced that where Federal action is essential then in most cases it should limit its responsibilities to supplement the States and local communities, and that it should not assume the major role or the entire responsibility, in replacement of the States or local government. To do otherwise threatens the whole foundation of local government, which is the very basis of self-government.
