| Publisher Description: Writing with the intimate knowledge of a man who has carried on research among people on an Alabama upland plantation over a period of two decades, Nixon speaks with authority of the problems of the soil.

He has given much attention to general and particular suggestions for change and improvement. Originally published in 1938.
