Working in cooperation with these associations are state soil and water conservation committees, commissions, boards, departments, and councils - responsible under the laws of their states for encouraging the organization of districts, providing information about their work, assisting them in their efforts and coordinating their activities. Conservation - Development - Self-Government is the theme of the district movement, symbolizing the dedication of district officials to purposeful, constructive action in the field of conservation and resource development - fundamental to American growth and prosperity.
