From an H.W. Wilson Company listing in 1940 of its Educational Film holdings:
This is a Soil conservation service film. As beautiful scenes of the countryside unfold the commentator tells us that much of America's oldest farming land is in the Northeast. The serious soil erosion situation is frequently taken care of by terracing. We learn how terracing is done, its advantages and see land so cultivated. Terracing is used successfully for growing potatoes, tobacco, truck farming and for fruit culture. Cover crops are planted and when turned under add fertility to the soil. It is necessary to inspect the terraces regularly and to keep the channels of the outlets clear. An informative picture showing construction and uses of terraces and other erosion control measures as applied to northeastern part of United States. New Hampshire.
