E. A. (Eugene Amos) Hollowell

E. A. Hollowell, short for Eugene Amos Hollowell, was an American agricultural writer and agronomist born in 1900. Records tied to his publications identify him as the author of works on clover, seed production, and forage plants, and library catalogs preserve his full name on titles such as Influence of Atmospheric and Soil Moisture upon Seed Setting in Red Clover (1929).

His work appears closely connected with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, especially a series of practical leaflets written for working farmers and agricultural readers. Surviving titles include Crimson Clover (issued in 1938 and again in 1947), along with other works on white clover, ladino white clover, strawberry clover, sweetclover, lespedeza, and legume seed production.

Although detailed biographical information is limited in the sources I could confirm, Hollowell's published output shows a clear specialty: explaining forage legumes in a direct, useful way. That makes his writing a small but vivid part of 20th-century American agricultural literature, where research, field experience, and public education were often brought together in short, practical books and bulletins.
