the Southern U.S. The opening of the text introduces Percy Johnston as he arrives at a Southern homestead in the year 1903, seeking room and board. His desire to explore the surrounding farmlands reveals his deep-rooted interest in agriculture, particularly in the face of declining soil productivity. Through conversations with the elderly Mrs. West and her granddaughter, Adelaide, we learn about the historical decline of the land's fertility, the struggles of farming families, and the shifting attitudes towards agriculture in the South. The narrative sets up a thoughtful exploration of soil science and the potential for restoration, hinting at the broader educational themes Jenkins aims to address in the context of early 20th-century agricultural reform.
