- Collection includes Annual Research Reports for the Palouse Conservation Field Station from 1931 to 1971. .
History:
The Palouse Conservation Field Station began as a joint project between the United States Department of Agriculture and the State College of Washington in 1931. At that time it was called the Pacific Northwest Soil Erosion and Moisture Conservation Experiment Station. In 1935, the name was shortened to the Soil Conservation Experiment Station. In the following decades, the name shifted back and forth several times to also include the Soil and Water Conservation Research Station and many derivations thereof. In 1961, the name was switched to the Palouse Conservation Field Station. During their tenure, the Palouse Conservation Field Station conducted experiments to produce better farming techniques that would produce less runoff and erosion, and wou ld make more efficient use of water for farming purposes. The Agricultural Experiment Station at the University of Idaho also worked with the U.S.D.A. to conduct experiments in a similar vein.
Scope and Content
Records of the Palouse Conservation Field Station consist of annual and other reports, along with compilations of data.
Arrangement
Annual Research Reports for the Palouse Conservation Field Station are filed in chronological order from 1931-1971. Subsequent data reports relating to PCFS, are filed corresponding to their first year of reporting. Reports for the Agricultural Experi ment Station follow this, as do reports of a joint project between WSU and the Agricultural Research Service.
