Book excerpt: Excerpt from Control of Wind Erosion in the Sandy Lands of the Southern High Plains of Texas and New Mexico Wind erosion occurs when high winds come in contact with loose, unprotected soil. Particles of medium and fine sand begin to move across the soil surface in a series of bounces or by rolling or creeping. Where they strike unprotected soil they loosen other particles which are then swept across the ground surface and cause-still further erosion. Finer particles are sometimes carried high into the air and may float for days before settling. The damage done by wind erosion has serious short and long-term effects. The most notable short-term effect is that of reducing or eliminating stands of crops. One storm can completely destroy young cotton. A visible effect of erosion is the piling up of sand or silt on highways, railroad rights-of-way, and around buildings on farms and in urban areas. This material must be removed at great expense. Another visible effect of wind erosion is the duning of sand in cultivated fields, making them impractical to till for crop production. Perhaps the most serious effect of wind erosion, however, is sel dom noticed. This is the removal of clay and organic matter from sandy soils. The soil is left not merely more susceptible to wind erosion than before; the materials which are of major importance in storing and eventually releasing moisture and nutrients are gone from the plowed layer. The finer the texture, the more serious the loss, since organic matter (thus nitrogen) is stored in the surface 6 or 7 inches of the soil. Removal of a part or all of this horizon usually reduces the inherent productivity of the soil. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 1937 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The climate of the southern Great Plains is characterized by low precipitation, a high rate of evaporation, frequent winds that are especially strong during late winter and early spring months, hot summers, open moderate winters, and a wide range in daily and seasonal temperatures. Nine groups of soils have been recognized and mapped on the basis of their inherent characteristics as related to their susceptibility to erosin and to agricultural adaptations. The topography is that of typical High Plains country; that is, a generally smooth plain, broken by several extensive areas of rougher lands, which are mostly associated with streams and their tributaries. The major portion of the area lies between 3,000 and 4,000 feet above sea level. There is a gentle eastward slope approximating 15 feet to the mile. The native vegetation is tyopically short grass on the smoother and heavier soils, with an admisture of taller grasses, shrubs, and scrub on sandy lands and on lands of rougher topography. Winter wheat and row crops, particulary those of the sorghum family, are the chief crops, Cattle and sheep are the leading clases of livestock. The area is essentially a country of large-scale dry farming and ranching. According to the 1935 census there were 16,805 farms and ranches in the area, averaging 1,060 acres each in size and valued at a total of $189,876,291.
