OverviewExcerpt from Early Erosion-Control Practices in Virginia Is there not something humiliating in having our eyes, whenever we ride or walk into our fields, greeted with the yawning gall, or the more hideous gully? Or meeting by the wayside, the kine of Pharaoh, who, having devoured all the miserable trash and weeds, which mar the beauty of our fields, are themselves, just about to be devoured by the buzzards? How do these scenes contrast with the verdant grass springing up in all its vigor and luxuriance, and cloth ing our fields in its beautiful habiliments; with the cattle of a thousand hills grazing bountifully through the day, and returning home at eve laden with deposits, richer than those of the mammoth bank, and laying their grateful tribute at the master's feet, and causing his table to groan under the teeming abundance of mi k, butter, cheese, and beef?
