to increase understanding of soil and water conservation and has

efforts of its staff and board of directors, including John Paclik,
Chawn Jobe, Kenneth Lowe, Richard Ligon, Rodney Hawkins, Mary Jane
Byerly, and Sam Creel; and
WHEREAS, The Young Soil and Water Conservation District has
made a lasting and positive difference in area agriculture by
fostering more effective stewardship of the land, and it is truly
deserving of recognition at this special time in its history; now,
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas
Legislature hereby congratulate the Young Soil and Water
Conservation District on its 50th anniversary and extend to all
those associated with the organization sincere best wishes for the
future; and, be it further
