F or some time the United States Department of the Interior has been carrying out a program aimed toward the selection of an economical method of obtaining potable water from sea water. One method investigated at the Battelle Memorial Institute (1) is an adaptation of the zone-purification process which had previously been used satisfactorily in the purification of metals (5). In the process, as applied to purification of sea water, a narrow zone of water is frozen in a tube containing sea water. As this zone is made to traverse the length of the tube, the formation of ice crystals tends to concentrate the salt in the solution ahead of the crystals. This results in the concentration of the salt at one end of the tube and the depletion of salt at the other end. 

In September 1933, the Soil Erosion Service, which later became the Soil Conservation Service, was created in the United States Department of the Interior (Simms, 1970). The next month on October 10, 1933, the first soil erosion control project of the Soil Erosion Service was established in Coon Valley, Wisconsin (Geiger and Keller, 1970). 

The disastrous events of the Dust Bowl led to the Soil Erosion Service Act of 1935. On April 27 of that year, the United States Congress declared soil erosion a national menace in an act directing the USDA to establish a Soil Conservation Service (Wehrwein, 1938). Also in 1935, the Soil Erosion Service was transferred from the United States Department of the Interior to the USDA with Hugh Hammond Bennett as its head (Morgan, 1965). This was soon followed by the Soil Conservation and Domestic Allotment Act of 1936. The State Soil Conservation Districts model law of 1937 was designed to customize soil conservation measures to reflect more local needs, placing more public focus on agricultural production methods.
