Here Are The Men Who Spark
Soil Conservation In Newberry
The men behind the men who
make the soil conservation pro
gram move steadily forward are
the district supervisors. These
five men in Newberry county are
J. Thad McCrackin. Jr., chairman,
C. L. Lester, Newberry; H. O.
Long, Silverstreet; L. M. Shealy,
Little Mountain, and D. A. Beden-
baugh of Prosperity.
Mr. McCrackin operates a 563
acre farm devoted primarily to the
production of beef cattle and
grain. More than 90 percent of all
practices planned for this farm,
with the aid of the Soil Conserva
tion service, were completed early
in 1953. Mr. McCrackin is also a
member of the South Carolina Soil
Conservation committee. He was
graduated from Clemson college in
1938. He is also a member of Farm
Bureau, S. C. Association of SCD
supervisors, and a reserve officer.
Mr. Lester has served as a dist
rict supervisor since first being el
ected in 1947. His 206 acre farm.
has been completely terraced since
1936. Since this time Mr. Lester
has completed his farm plan by
planting 50 acres to grass and 56
acres to trees. He is also active in
the Farm Bureau. He is council
man and treasurer of St. Luke’s
Lutheran church.
Mr. H. O. Long of Silverstreet
is an elected supervisor serving
since February, 1952. The leader
ship in agriculture, which Mr.
Long has been so closely connect
ed for a number of years, well
qualifies him to serve his com
munity as a member of the soil
conservation district governing
board. He has a well-planned
conservation farm covering more
than 1500 acres. He is also a direc
tor pf REA cooperative of the
Newberry Rural Electrification
association. Other activities which
Mr. Long has devoted a great deal
of time for the betterment of his
community are: charter member
of the S. C. Farm Bureau, state
and county director of the Farm
Bureau since it was organized,
past president of Newberry Coun
ty Farm Bureau, chairman 'of
County Agricultural committee,
member of Agriculture committee
of Newberry Chamber of Com
merce, and a life member of
church council of Silverstreet
Lutheran church.
L. M. Shealy of Little Mountain
was elected in February, 1952, for
a three-year term. Mr. Shealy has
been most active in promoting the
interest of the Newberry Soil Con
servation district. On his own
farm he grows chickens, beef cat
tie, grain and grass. He is also a
member of County Board of Edu
cation, Farm Bureau, Grange and
Lutheran church councilman and
five years to last May was instruc
tor veterans agriculture class.
D. A. Bedenbaugh of Prosperity
has served continuously since be
ing appointed as a district super
visor in March of 1947. His inter
est in conservation has spread,
not only on his own farm, but to
many others in his community be
cause of his leadership in this
field. He is also a member of Farm
Bureau and American Legion.
These five men serve without
pay, representing the people of
Newberry county. They serve as a
governing board to help bring to
gether the activities of many state
and federal agencies for the great
est advantage in solving soil and
water management problems on
farms.
It was not until the creation of
soil conservation districts that
people all over America had an
an opportunity to actively apply
sound conservation practices with
the aid of technical services pro
vided by government agencies.
This governing board, like 2400
other such districts now in opera
tion in the United States, believes
in the sound principle of getting
the job done through persuasion
and suggestion rather than by
force. They initiate, advise, and
control, always keeping in mind
the attitude of the local people.
Sometimes group interest may be
in drainage, ponds, better pas
tures, building terraces, planting
trees, or strip cropping. What
ever the local problems are, they
can have their starting point
through a local board of district
supervisors.
This job, which is being under
taken by soil conservation dist
ricts and their cooperators, is one
which needs the help and interest
of every person within the dist
rict regardless of his occupation.
Ministers, bankers, machinery
dealers, school teachers, farmers,
and many other groups of people
are encouraged to participate in
this most worthwhile community
project by serving on one or more
of the committ£?s of the “Greater
Service Program” now being pro
moted in the Newberry district.

AN ABUNDANCE
OF GOOD THINGS TO EAT!
-*
The full market basket comes as a result of CONSERVING the gifts
of nature , . all these good things comes from the earth—the GOOD
earth; not the rutted, eroded earth.
The full market basket would quickly disappear if there were not men
working daily to keep our lands productive.
Soil Conservation
has become a MUST and more and more people realize the importance
of this vital work.
WE EXTEND OUR VERY BEST wishes to the people of SOIL CON
SERVATION. You are doing a wonderful work.
. Future generation will rise up and call you blessed!
The Market Basket
There Was Little Need For
Conservation Practices in
Nature had endowed this land with a coat of
green from coast to coast.
But man became greedy ... he took much from
nature but gave back little ... or nothing.
Now we are working to restore that original verdant
country the pioneers knew . . and we are making pro
gress,
THIS COMPANY HEARTILY APPROVES
OF THE PROGRAM OF
Soil CONSERVATION
AND WE POINT WITH PRIDE
to our work in the field of FOREST CONSERVATION.
We, ourselves are somewhat of a Pioneer in this
work, having for long years realized that if we
are to have timber we must sow as well as reap—
and protect that which we sow.
Best Wishes to the People of Soil Conservation!
