The sign says, ‘You are entering the Green River Soil Conservation District.’ In smaller type is a list of who is cooperating; the letters are too small to be read from a moving bus. It must be a roster of who’s who in conservation.
The sign is neatly painted. It stands in a creek-bottom pasture so short you could play golf on it. Near by is the graceful loop of an old dry creek bed. The new creek bed is ditched straight as a ruler; it has been ‘uncurled’ by the county engineer to hurry the run-off. On the hill in the background are contoured strip-crops; they have been ‘curled’ by the erosion engineer to retard the run-off. The water must be confused by so much advice.
