SCS head, Hugh Hammond Bennett, points to a map of the SCS regions. Second from the left is Howard Finnell. Finnell studied soil erosion techniques like terracing and contour planting in the 1920s and discovered that these methods could help farmers double the odds of having a good crop. Bennett put Finnell in charge of conservation efforts in the hardest hit parts of Texas, and utilized his research on all soil erosion projects, including at Duck Creek. | Source: "Henry Howard Finnell," PBS, The Dust Bowl: A Film by Ken Burns: Biographies, accessed March 4, 2015, http://www.pbs.org/kenburns/dustbowl/bios/henry-howard-finnell/.Download Original File
