Soil drifting control in the Prairie Provinces / by E.S. Hopkins, A.E. Palmer and W.S. Chepil.: A12-8/32-1946E-PDF

"In some of the earliest reports of the Dominion Experimental Farms reference is made to the occurence of soil drifting. Even as early as 1887 severe drifting was experienced on the experimental farm at Indian Head and throughout that district. ... Over the greater part of the Prairie Provinces, however, the intermittent occurrence of drifting from year to year, and the more or less widely separated areas involved, have probably discouraged any extensive attack on the problem. During the years from 1931 to 1938, however, soil drifting assumed such serious and widespread proportions and caused such tremendous damage to farm property that more definite action towards effective and permanent control became imperative.This bulletin presents detailed information outlining the most successful methods now known of controlling drifting"--p.
