In the 1930's, when many people across the nation were suffering from the devastating drought, John Apperson and his new organization, the Forest Preserve Association, decided to publish a pamphlet to explain the bad agricultural practices that resulted in man-made soil erosion. About 30,000 copies were distributed nationwide.
