The United States Department of Agriculture is engaged in various activi ties to improve the soil and water re sources of the farm lands in Puerto Rico.
These include research, educational e f forts, and technical and financial assist ance as effective means of bringing about increased use of soil and water resources.
Conservation farming is the only ef fective method of using the farm land for achieving crop improvement and, at the same time, maintaining the pro ductive capacity of the soil so as to assure the needed increased production for the future. The purpose of the 1953
Agricultural Conservation Program is to assist farmers in planning and carrying out conservation activities which will bring about increased agricultural pro duction and development and better use of Puerto Ricos water resources.
