Excerpt from Soil Conservation Digest, Vol. 3: Region Ten, California-Nevada Newsletter; January 1937 How does it happen that in September, 1950, a conference was called to discuss a phase of engi neering that would be considered unusual to millions of American citizens? The answer should begin ty giving credit to a similar conference held thirty years ago. In 1905, Theodore Roosevelt called such a conference; and as a result of that gathering the U. S. Forest Service was established, and a system atic program of observation and study of problems pertaining to conservation was started. That was more than thirty years ago, but the years that followed that notable gathering of 1905 were by no means idle ones. Accurate, scientifically conducted experiments were carried on throughout the nation relative to run-off, erosion, flood control, and many other phases pertaining to the conservation of the same natural resources which we are considering today.

Excerpt from Soil Conservation Digest, Vol. 3: Region Ten, California-Nevada Newsletter; April 1937 Level basin terraces comprise a series of large bathtub-like catchment basins, each of which is ap proximately 15 feet long, 7 feet wide and 2 feet deep. Their primary function is to collect and hold the rain fall allowing it to penetrate into the soil and under lying substratum, thus preventing erosion and water loss. This type of control is generally applicable to highly credible slopes, which have been or are to be removed from.cultivation. Specifically however, the selection of suitable locations for basin terraces involves consideration of complexly related economic and physical circumstances. Where the latter condi tions, involving soils, geology, and location with respect to more valuable agricultural land, are um usually favorable, economic justification is often an automatic consequence.
