This book was released on 2018-02-21 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Soils of the Eastern United States and Their Use XXII: The Norfolk Sandy Loam The Norfolk sandy loam is an extensive soil type developed within the lower lying portions of the Atlantic and eastern Gulf Coastal Plains. It lies at varying altitudes from sea level up to 150 or 200 feet above tide, but the greater part of the type is probably found between altitudes of 50 and 150 feet. The surface of the Norfolk sandy loam is nearly level, undulating or gently rolling, and there are no steep Slopes or marked differences of elevation within the different areas of the type. The surface soil of the Norfolk sandy loam is a gray or a pale yellow medium sand, having a depth of about 12 inches. This is underlain to a depth of nearly 2 feet by a loamy sand or sandy loam of a yellow color which grades downward into a friable yellow sandy clay.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Soils of the Eastern United States and Their Use IV: The Sassafras Silt Loam It is apparent from the textural characteristics of the Sassafras silt loam, from its level to gently undulating surface topography, and from the classes of creps best suited for production upon this soil that the equipment required for its most economical tillage will dif fer very materially from the equipment to be used upon such other Coastal Plain soils as the Norfolk fine sand or Sandy loam, which are more easily worked and are not so universally planted to the general farm crops. The Sassafras silt loam should be plowed to a depth of 8 or 9 inches, and if the natural soil is not so deep as this the depth should be gradually increased from year to year.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Soils of the Eastern United States and Their Use X: The Marshall Silt Loam Not infrequently, however, there are found within the sub-soil concretions and accumulations of lime carbonate, and occasionally the limy remains of shells, principally of land forms of organic life. The Marshall silt loam is derived from the extensive body of fine silty rock powder which overspreads a considerable proportion of the central prairie States, mantling the older rock formations and covering the underlying glacial till to varying depths. This silty material doubtless originated from the outpouring of turbid water through the melting of the glacial ice during one of the later stages of its recession. It was widely distributed over the central portion of the Mississippi drainage region, and there is good evidence to show that when the surface of this material became dried and powdery it was taken up by the winds and thus distributed even over the higher elevations of that region hi the form of a thin mantle of loess. In fact the Marshall silt loam is one of several important soil types derived directly from the partial weathering of this loess mantle. It constitutes the brown prairie areas, stone free, and gently rolling to undulating in its characteristic surface features. The Marshall silt loam and other soils of the Marshall series are thus distinguished from the soils of the Miami series, which are light colored and derived from the weathering of the glacial till, and also from the black soils of the Carrington series, which resemble it in color, but have also been derived principally from ice-laid materials. It is separable from the soils of the Knox series, which also owe their origin to the surface layer of loess, in that the latter are distinguished by light-colored surface soils and are found within the timbered areas as contrasted with the prairie areas in which the darker Marshall soils occur. The black soils of the Waukesha series usually occur to the northward of the regions occupied by the Marshall silt loam and its associates, and the Waukesha soils are derived from the coarser outwash laid down directly by the action of moving water. The Marshall silt loam may be briefly characterized as the most important soil of that series, and as the brown to black silty prairie soil formed from the modification of the surface materials of the loess. Surface Features And Drainage. Throughout its entire extent the Marshall silt loam is marked by nearly level, slightly undulating, or gently rolling surface topography. Only where the larger streams have cut deep trenches are sloping areas found within this type. These, even, are infrequent since the eroded and sloping bluffs of the loess along the stream drainage ways are most frequently timbered and possess the lighter colored surface soils, thus falling within the Knox series as contrasted with the Marshall.

This book was released on 2015-07-05 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Soils of the Eastern United States and Their Use XXXVI: The Volusia Silt Loam Its surface varies, therefore, from nearly level or gently rolling to steeply sloping and almost precipitous. The greatest part of the type lies at altitudes ranging from 1,200 to 2,000 feet above tide level. Some portions of it rise to an extreme elevation of approximately 2,300 feet, while the areas found in northeastern Ohio are much less hilly and lie between 900 and 1,100 feet. The surface drainage of the Volusia silt loam is fairly adequate over the greater part of the type. Numerous springs found upon the hill slopes give rise to small swampy areas and some of the more level tracts are so closely underlain by impervious rock as to be poorly drained. The greatest difficulty with drainage, however, arises from the compacted and dense condition of the subsoil just below plow depth. Long-continued plowing to the same depth, often at times when the subsoil was too wet, has compacted and hardened the layer upon which the plow sole rides, forming what is locally known as "hardpan." This hardpan seriously interferes with the natural internal drainage of the type. Upon the more level areas of this soil erosion is not a serious problem, but there are many steep slopes within its boundaries which may be protected from destructive washing only through remaining in permanent pasture or in woodlot or forest. From many such slopes, denuded of forest when the region was cleared, practically all of the original soil has been removed, leaving only a mass of shale fragments mingled with a small amount of earth. Such slopes should never have been cleared. They comprise possibly 15 per cent of the total area of the type. The Volusia silt loam occurs at high elevations in a cold northern region. It is a moderately well drained soil, of rather heavy texture, suited under ordinary conditions only to the production of hardy crops which mature in a short growing season. The greater proportion of the type lies at too great an elevation to permit of maturing any variety of corn except the flint, and even this can only be grown for silage in the majority of years. The crop adaptation of the type is therefore restricted by its inherent characteristics and by its climatic surroundings to buckwheat, oats, Irish potatoes, and hay. Other crops are grown to a limited extent, and the better drained areas, which may also lie at lower elevations, possess a greater range in crop adaptations than the general average of the type.

In general the surface is rolling to mountainous and the drainage is adequate to excessive. Among the general farm crops there is a considerable range in the different localities where the Porters loam is found, since cotton may be grown at the lower elevations in South Carolina and in North Carolina, while corn, winter wheat, oats, and grass occupy the inter mediate altitudes, and potatoes, rye, buckwheat, and grass are grown even at the highest altitudes.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Soils of the Eastern United States and Their Use-XXXVIII: Muck and Peat Mention has been made of the planting of protecting hedges which are used to break the force of spring winds and to prevent the bodily removal of the surface soils and even the seed. The North Carolina poplar is frequently used for such purposes, since it makes a rapid growth. When the trees become fully grown, there is need for the interplanting of lower-growing forms in order to thicken the hedge, thus forming a complete windbreak. Sometimes special devices are used to prevent the horses from, sinking into the soft surface soil of the Muck or Peat. A bog shoe of boards fitted with clamps, so that it may be temporarily attached to the regular horseshoe, is generally employed for this purpose. The bearing area of each foot is increased until there is little danger that the work horses will become bogged down in the soft soil. Frequently, cold frames or small greenhouses are established near the muck beds for the forcing of the plants required for transplanting upon the Muck or Peat. This usage is more common where extra early truck crops are produced than where onions or the later field crops are grown. A later use of the cold frames is sometimes made for gron special crops under glass. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Soils of the Eastern United States and Their Use XII: The Carrington Loam Carrington loam is developed, agriculture is just passing through its pioneer stages, crop rotation is not generally practiced, the feeding of live stock is subordinate to grain production, and practically no stable manure is saved or applied to the land. As a result there has been some decrease in the cr0p yields of the type during the past 15 or 20 years, and the farmers in these regions are becoming convinced of the necessity for crop rotation, the introduction of animal husbandry, and the application of manures in order that the Original efficiency of the type may be restored, maintained, or even increased. In Minnesota and North Dakota, where the Carrington loam is extensively developed, the principal improvements in soil efficiency can be effected by the adoption of a regular crop rotation, utilizing the considerable variety Of general farm crops well suited to produc tion upon this type and capable Of production under the climatic conditions which exist. In numerous instances where the practice of crop rotation has already been adopted material increases in yield, both of corn and of spring wheat, have been attained, even when the changed farm practice only included the. Alternation Of corn with wheat rather than the continued growing of the one crop or. The other. When in addition seeding to clover and other tame grasses has been introduced into the rotation marked increases in the yields of the grain crops have been secured. In Michigan, Indiana, and Iowa, where the feeding of beef cattle and the keeping of dairy stock has been prevalent upon this soil type for periods of 20 to 30 years, no difiiculty is experienced in maintaining the crop-producing power of the soil at an average efficiency considerably higher than the gen eral average for these States.
