Conquest of the Land Through 7,000 Years

Book Cover for 'Conquest of the Land Through 7,000 Years'

This classic report on agriculture and soil erosion was written by Dr. Lowdermilk, who presented his findings to the U.S. Department of Agriculture based on his journeys around the world in 1938 and 1939. Despite changes in names of countries, in political boundaries, and in conservation technology, the report still has significance for all peoples concerned with maintaining and improving farm production.
