AGENCY SKETCH
Soil Conservation Committee
[Authorized: NDCC Section 4-22-03]
Created in 1937 the State Soil Conservation Committee was established to serve as a state agency and to provide for conservation, protection, improvement, and profitability of agricultural land in North Dakota. Originally the committee consisted of the Governor, the State Commissioner of Agriculture and Labor, the Director of the State Extension Service, and one member appointed by the U.S. Secretary of Agriculture. The committee formed four soil conservation districts which could be organized when twenty five occupiers of land within a district requested that a soil conservation district be formed. Each soil conservation district elected three supervisors. The supervisors directed the programs and activities and served as the link between the district and the State Soil Conservation Committee. One of the members was delegated as chairman, and the committee could appoint an administrative officer and other employees as needed (S. L. 1937, Ch.9). The Attorney General provided legal opinions at the request of the commission.
The membership on the State Soil Conservation Committee has changed substantially over the years. In 1951 legislation began to shift the management of the committee to the districts. Four regular or land owner members, one from each district, were appointed along with ex officio members who were the Governor, Commissioner of Agriculture and Labor, Director of the North Dakota Cooperative Extension Service, and one member appointed by the U.S. Secretary of Agriculture. The four regular members were district supervisors, in the district they represented, and were appointed by the State Soil Conservation Committee. Names of eight district supervisors were submitted to the State Association of Soil Conservation District Supervisors with four being selected from the eight.
In 1961 the four members were elected instead of being appointed by the district they supervised. They served a two year term. The ex officio member who had been appointed by the U.S. Secretary of Agriculture was replaced by the President of the Soil Conservation District Association (S. L. 1961, Ch.105).
In 1971 the legislature made several major changes including committee membership. Legislation divided the state into five geographical districts which were grouped along county lines. The State Soil Conservation Committee changed to five members, one district supervisor from each district being elected by the district land owners or occupiers, and two members appointed by the Governor. The gubernatorial appointees represented the interests of farmers and ranchers, rural areas and small towns, cities, industry, and business for those not already represented (S. L. 1971, Ch. 94). Members served two year terms and no member served more than two successive terms.
In 1981 the terms of membership increased to three years. The Governor appointed members to fill the unexpected vacancies. Annually the committee selected a chairman who served only one term (S. L. 1981, Ch. 95). Representatives from the following agencies served in an advisory capacity to the committee: State Association of Soil Conservation Districts, North Dakota Cooperative Extension Service, Soil Conservation Service, State Water Commission, Commissioner of Agriculture, and Game and Fish Department.
Legislation in 1983 added a new subsection to the North Dakota Century Code relating to a tax to be levied by the Soil Conservation Districts. The district supervisors put a one mill tax levy on all real property lying within a conservation district. The tax levy is paid by the owner of the land and is used for administrative and operating expenses of the districts. Supervisors could choose to raise the levy, but the increase had to be authorized by three fourths of the voters in the district (S. L. 1983, Ch. 97), however, the number of qualified voters needed to approve an ordinance was reduced to two thirds in 1985 (S. L. 1985, Ch. 95).
The purpose of the State Soil Conservation Committee was to promote soil conservation through programs and activities conducted under the auspices of the State Soil Conservation Districts; direct organization of State Soil Conservation Districts; provide operating guidelines for State Soil Conservation Districts; administer small watershed projects in the state; and develop water quality management plans for controlling non point sources of pollution. Additional goals of the committee included securing cooperation and assistance of state, federal, regional, local, and private agencies with districts; representing the state in matters affecting soil conservation; establishing uniform accounting methods that must be used in all districts; requiring annual reports from all districts; receiving from other state and local agencies for review and comment suitable descriptions of their plans and programs activities affecting the conservation of natural resources; and arranging for and participating in conferences to avoid conflict with other plans and programs (S. L. 1997, Ch. 50).
Since 1997, the North Dakota State University Extension Service has assisted the director with the administrative duties of the committee within the limits of legislative appropriation to deliver information and services to the districts (S. L. 1997, Ch. 50). The committee meets annually but the chairman may call special meetings as needed, or four committee members may request in writing that a special meeting be called (S. L. 1997, Ch. 50). The committee encourages conservation of soil and soil resources by disseminating information regarding the activities and programs of the soil conservation districts. All surface mining operators file an annual detailed report of their activities with the committee which, in turn, transmits the information to the district. The committee also administers the soil conservation technician grants program with the objective of reducing wind and water erosion damage on cropland.

SERIES DESCRIPTION
SERIES I. Photographic Slides, 1936-1973
Series I consists of photographic slides of images taken by William P. Sebens. Since there was no creator-assigned number, sequential numbers were assigned by SHSND staff. The original order of the slides was retained. The Series is arranged by county (alphabetically). Duplicate slides were removed from the collection. Scenes depicted include farms, dams, reservoirs, soil conservation experiment stations and staff, agricultural practices, flooding, animals, wildlife, windbreaks, landmarks, and buildings.
SERIES II. Photographic Negatives and Albums, 1950-1969
Series II contains two Subseries: photographic negatives by Sebens and albums of prints made from the negatives. Sebens' original numbering system was retained in this Series. Either negative numbers 594-1392 were not printed and arranged into an album, or the album was not deposited with the archives.
The majority of images in this Series are of North Dakota farms. Series II also includes aerials, images of dams, reservoirs, indian villages, trees, soil conservation experiment stations and staff, agricultural practices, flooding, animals, wildlife, windbreaks, landmarks, and buildings. The Series also includes images from other states and Canadian provinces.
SERIES III. Soil Conservation District Award Winners, 1952-2001
This Series includes images taken by William P. Sebens and others. The Series is divided into three subseries: negatives, prints and slides. Each subseries is arranged by county and then by year. Some images were removed or copied from Series II by the Soil Conservation Committee and placed in the series. Remaining items were assigned sequential numbers continuing from Series I. The entire Series consists of images of the farms of Soil Conservation District award winners.
SERIES IV. Oversized Photographs, 1964-1971
This series consists of 17 oversized photographic prints likely made from negatives located in other series within the collection. The images were most likely created and used for display and exhibit purposes by the North Dakota Soil Conservation Committee. Images in this series include bird's-eye view photographs of farms that won Soil Conservation District awards, the 1964 Soil Conservation Field Days and National Plowing Contest at the Elmer and Ramona Fraase Farm, an unidentified church with the caption "North Dakota Soil Conservation Districts Assist 155 Rural Churches with Beautification program," and images of unidentified farms (black and white, color, and hand colored black and white photographs).
