trjal of Hiram Doolittle, Soil
ftobber* w?a tnecToslng realm's of the
Agricultural STiort Course, broadcast
from station WSB of the Atlanta Jour
nal, under the Joint direction of the
Sears-Roebuck Agricultural Founda
tion and the Soil Improvement Com
mittee.
Farmer Doolittle was brought to the
bar for robbing the soil of his little
farm of Its fertility, by not replenish
ing its humus or organic matter, by al
lowing It to become gullied and Im
properly drained, so the water col
lected In some spots, and In others
washed the surface soil away com
pletely. His accusers Insisted that by
so doing he was not only cheating him
self, and reducing his yield of cotton
from one bale to less than one-third
bale per acre, and his corn from 40
bushels to scarcely 10 or IP to the
acre, but he was likewise cheating
his posterity by making this tract of
farm land Impoverished and valueless.
The principal witnesses for the pros
ecution were Andrew Sharp, soil ex
pert for the State Agricultural col
lege, who testified he had examined
the soil on the Doolittle farm and
found it to be Impoverished and run
down. He stated that Doolittle could
have built up the organic matter in
his soil by growing winter covering
crops, such as vetch, rye or crimson
