Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Soils of the Eastern United States and Their Setts XXII: The Norfolk Sandy Loam Where erosion has been excessive the entire soil mass has been carried away and galled spots occupied by stiff red clay are found within the fields. These constitute local areas of the Cecil clay and where broadly developed are mapped as such. Every gradation between the galled areas, where only subsoil material exists, and the full development of the typical Cecil sandy loam may be found in any of the surveyed areas. Advantage should be taken of this difference in depth of the surface soil in the selection of the appropriate crop for each particular area of the type. Scattered through both the surface soil and subsoil material there will be found greater or less quantities of angular white quartz, or white "flint," as it is locally known. These masses are the remains of old veins and scams of quartz which intersected the original granite or gneiss rock. The Cecil sandy loam contrasts sharply with the Cecil clay, which is the other important type in the same series. The latter type consists of a stiff red day or heavy chocolate-colored loam, extending from the surface to a considerable depth. It has no gray or brown sandy covering like the Cecil sandy loam. The members of the Cecil series are also easily distinguished from the soils of the Durham series, are also easily distinguished from the soils of the Durham series, which are gray or yellow at the surface and possess lcmon-3-ellow or pale-yellow subsoils. Similarly the Cecil series may be separated from the Iredell series, which have brown or yellow surface soils and yellow or mottled yellow and gray subsoils. The stiff waxy subsoil of the members of the Iredell series is very impervious to water and gives rise to the scrub-oak soils and "beeswax" land of this Piedmont section. The Cecil sandy loam is rarely associated with the soils of the Chester series, which have a brown surface soil and a yellow loamy subsoil, or with the Penn series, which have a characteristic Indian red color in both soil and subsoil and are derived through the weathering of sandstones and shales. Surface Features and Drainage. The Cecil sandy loam occurs only in that broad plateau section which lies along the front of the Appalachian Mountain Ranges, and from that region slopes gently seaward until it is covered by later deposits of the Coastal Plain along what is known as the fall line. This section extends from New Jersey to east-central Alabama, but the Cecil soils are only developed in the more southern portion from Maryland to Alabama. The Cecil sandy loam occupies the level uplands, the rolling or undulating crests of ridges, and those portions of the higher part of the Piedmont section which are best protected from active soil -erosion and which have, therefore, been able to maintain the deeper surface covering of sandy and sandy loam material.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cotton-Tillage Studies on Red Bay Sandy Loam This is caused by the character Of the subsoil as the top 3 to 4 inches Of soil scours readily. Waen the soil is dry and hard, deep tillage tends to break it into large clods Or lumps. With Increasing moisture, the soil tends to pulverize more as it passes over the moldboard until the moisture content is near that of the lower plastic limit, i. E. The lowest moisture content at which a soil can just be rolled into a wire one eighth of an inch in diameter without breaking into lengths shorter than three eig bths of an inch. The soil sticksg to the moldboards of plows and middle breakers3 when the moisture content is above this point.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Traction Plowing The opening up of vast tracts of level territory where the acreage to be broken was so great as to discourage the idea of turning it with single teams and horse plows created a lively demand for steam plowing outfits, and in this field more than any other have they demonstrated their practicability. Under favorable conditions the advantages are numerous. Large areas, _which otherwise would have remained uncultivated, have been brought quickly into pro ductiveness and have been cropped with a minimum of horse and man labor, which has constantly become more expensive. Crop returns have often been greatly increased through taking advantage of favorable soil and climatic conditions for getting the land in shape for seeding, especially ln sections where these conditions are of short duration. Work at such times has been rushed, often continuing day and night. At other times, as in hot, dry weather, traction out fits have been used where horses could stand the work but a short period, if at all. Through concentration of power it has been pos sible to plow very difficult soils and to plow deeply, when desired, in ordinary soils.

Download or read book Soil Management for Intensive Vegetable Production on Sandy Connecticut Valley Land Classic Reprint written by Mont Francis Morgan and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-05 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Soil Management for Intensive Vegetable Production on Sandy Connecticut Valley Land Since the 20-ton manure treatment more than maintained the original organic content of the soil, it is reasonable to suppose that a lighter applica tion would have prevented any decline. The data are not sufficient to reveal the minimum rate of manuring needed for exact soil organic matter stabilization. However, under the program of intensive cropping without green manure or cover crop used in these trials, it seems likely that 16 tons of manure per acre per year would prevent any decline in soil organic matter. It should be understood that this is based on' results on a light sandy soil containing approximately percent of organic matter. A summary of relative yields in manure and fertilizer comparisons for all crops grown for more than four seasons of these trials is shown in Table 5.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Experiments With Subsoiling, Deep Tilling, and Subsoil Dynamiting Good plowing is often taken to mean deep plowing. The two, how ever, are not associated, and before a farmer decides to increase the depth of plowing beyond about 7 inches, he should consider whether the probable benefits will more than pay for the increased cost.

Download or read book Long s Garden Book written by J. D. Long Seed Company and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-09-11 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Long's Garden Book: Spring 1930 The kind of soil, its mechanical condition and fertility, is another important matter. Here again we have to work with the material at hand, as a foundation. Unfortunately, the soil near the average] house and just where you want your finest display of posies, is the 'worst on the premises. This because much of it has been placed there in excavating for the basement of the house. But there is nothing serious about all this. I've taken the most wornout and unpromising soil and brought it up to a high state of friability, fertility and productiveness. Takes some time, work and expense, to do a good job. If top soil is too light and sandy (which is seldom the trouble) you can improve it by having some stiff or clayey soil hauled in and mixed with it. If the reverse is the case (and more often it is), then you can subdue it and make it easier to handle, in several ways. If to be had get some very fine sand, or silt, and put this on your garden 3 to 6 inches deep. Then plow or spade it under and turn it up again and keep working it over and into the native soil. The beneficial effect will last for years. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Classic Period Mixtequilla Veracruz Mexico written by Barbara L. Stark and published by Institute for Mesoamerican Studies. This book was released on 2001 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This archaeological site report presents new in sights on an important but poorly-studied Mesoamerican culture-the Classic period of the Mexican Gulf Coast. Stark discusses her excavations at several sites in the Mixtequilla region, describes the deposits and artifacts encountered, and provides interpretations of the sites and their significance within a wider context. Her analysis of the ephemeral remains of perishable houses is innovative and contains one of the most sophisticated treatments of site formation processes yet carried out in Latin America. Particularly important is the identification of some of the earliest spindle whorls in Mesoamerica, leading to new views of the importance of cotton textiles in the changing economies of the Late Preclassic and Classic periods. Superb artifact illustrations, detailed descriptions, and an ample use of data tables, make this a valuable reference work. Mesoamericanists will find much of interest in this book, as will readers interested in tropical lowland settlement patterns, household archaeology, and site formation processes.

Potter And Company and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-06 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Annual Catalogue of Garden, Field and Flower Seeds, Bulbs, Plants, Fertilizers and Implements for the Farm and Garden, 1898 A dark colored soil, or one supplied with a goodly portion of decayed vegetable matter, will produce the earliest crops. If the soil be shallow, it should be deepened gradually by plowing or spading an inch or two deeper each year. A sandy soil may be greatly improved by adding more or less vegetable mould from the woods. Mark the garden off into squares or beds of convenient size, to facilitate the practice of a rotation of crops, which is an important matter. As a rule, never let the same crop or kind of vegetable occupy the same bed or spot two years in succession. Potatoes, onions, and a few other things may form an exception to this rule, but it is nevertheless better to keep up rotation. Every year these beds must be warmed up by a liberal coat of manure, which should be thoroughly mixed with the soil. Grow everything in drills or straight lines. Larger crops from a given surface are grown in this way, and cultivation becomes simple and compara tively easy. The space between the drills, and other special information, is given in the body of the Catalogue. The ground should be frequently hoed, to kill the weeds and keep the soil mellow; and the proper time to hoe is just when the weeds appear above ground.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Peaty Swamp Lands: Sand and "Alkali" Soils There are immense areas of peaty swamp lands in the northern and north'central parts of Illinois. As a rule these soils do not grow good cr0ps. When first broken they sometimes yield one or two fair crops of corn, but generally the third cr0p is very poor, and afterwards little or no corn is produced. Oats do somewhat better, but usually the yield of grain is very unsatisfactory, even when a fair amount of straw is grown. These soils are usually very black and very rich in organic matter, and they are frequently drained at great expense with the expectation that they will be very productive and almost inexhaustible, but not infrequently they yield disappointment and financial loss.
