Excerpt from The Land, Today and Tomorrow, Vol. 2: January, 1935 And finally, why should there not be cooperation? Is there any physical obstacle in the way that can not be overcome? Or is there any organization objection that can not be smoothed out? I think not. The needs are too acute and the demands too urgent to invite any de lay, or even possible defeat, through a lack of cooperative helpful ness on the part of the agencies concerned. I want to go squarely and definitely on record for the Soil Ero sion Service, that we believe in the fundamental principle of cooper ation; that we will continue to offer and accept cooperative service; that we have no intention of usurping any field of operative effort; that we need all the help we can get in carrying through the gigantic job entrusted to us; that our minds are not closed to constructive suggestions; and that we are determined to do those things that are necessary to save the nation's remaining areas of good farm land. It is felt that the Soil Erosion Service has something very per tinchi to contribute to the problem of soil conservation, flood con trol, reduction of the problem of silting, and better land use; and, if others have anything of this same conception, it is our desire to dedicate our best efforts to the interests of the nation. Our work is on the land; it is under way and Open to the visual inspection of everyone. We invite such inspection at all times; and we invite the criticisms, suggestions and cooperation of every thinking, patriotic Citizen.
