Exhibition Label: "Claimed: Land Use in Western America," Jun-2007, Kate Meyer “Contouring along slopes, which requires the tilting of tractors and plows, often does not retard soil erosion satisfactorily. Terracing, a recently recommended practice, requires still more technical and scientific expertise than contour stripping, and on some slopes an effective terracing system is almost impossible to construct.” Hildegard Binder Johnson, Order Upon the Land: The U.S. Rectangular Land Survey and the Upper Mississippi Country, 1976
