Successful operation of this program depends on the fullest assumption by each State, county, or community PMA
committeeman of his responsibility un der the program to his fellow-farmers and the Nation as a whole. This respon sibility includes obtaining for each dol lar of program funds expended the max imum additional conservation of our farming resources.

in conserving water. The 1953 program was developed jointly by the Production and Marketing Administration, the Soil Conservation Service, and the Forest Service, working with local conservation districts and with the assistance of other interested State and Federal agencies.
The 1953 Agricultural Conservation Program, with more definite and direct emphasis on providing assistance only for the most urgently needed conserva tion on an individual farm, follows through on the farm-by-farmfirstthings-first approach launched in 1952.
Every effort is to be made to see th at program assistance is directed to those soil and water conservation practices which fanners would not carry out to the extent necessary for the national welfare without this assistance. Every effort is to be made to see th at program assistance is shifted away from those practices which are becoming estab lished in farmers regular operations on their farms. This assistance is to be used to encourage and aid farmers to carry out conservation over and above what they would do with their own re sources and on their own initiative.
The practices to be included at the lo cal level and for individual farms should be aimed toward the most permanent benefit to the productive capacity and conservation of the agricultural re sources of the area. Each county pro gram should be integrated with the objectives of the broad general conserva tion programs of the area, such as flood prevention, wind and water erosion, or changing land use.
Experiences gained in the counties where PMA community committeemen were used to make farm-by-farm con tacts have been used in developing the 1953 program. This experience defi nitely shows that where community committeemen have been used to make these contacts participation has been increased substantially and there has been a decided increase in the volume of the more permanent-type practices, such as terraces, dams, improved pas ture, irrigation structures, contour stripcropping, and range and forestry improvement.
