Morgan Says Prevention Best Treatment Of Soil Erosion Erosion usually is the result sc of a series of chain reactions ti that begin with the breakdown it of soil structure, Carl Morgan, cl chairman of the Macon County p Agricultural Stabilization and g Conservation Committee, points ti out. r By repeatedly stirring theri soil with the plow and the cul-ri tlvator, he explains, the organic0 matter that helps to hold the soil particles together is worked r out. This process gradually t breaks down the soil structures with the result that the soil b becomes more compact, less* water soaks in, and more runs off. s These unprotected surface soil - particles are broken up in what is known as "splash erosion", and the lighter particles are mixed with the water. The bombarding and grinding effect of this mixture helps to break up more soil particles.
