Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Study of the Soils of the United States No industry is so vital to the well-being of a nation as agriculture and nothing SO vital to agriculture as the soil. From its treasury it has been estimated1 that we drew last year (1909) more than and its possibilities are as yet only partially realized. There are still in this country millions of acres which have never felt the plow, while those which are now under cultivation can, by the application of scientific principles, be made to produce many times the present value of their products. How to use and not abuse this great resource is the most important problem which faces the farmer of to-day - one worthy of the best efforts of our most pro found and learned scientists; for upon its solution depends the future prosperity of the nation.

This mapping has been done on scales ranging from 1 inch equals 1 mile to 4 or 6 inches equals 1 mile in reconnoissance surveys. In addition to this an area of about square miles in the Ozark region of Missouri and Arkansas has been mapped in a more general reconnoissance. Including this and estimating the amount of work done in the 6 months from January 1 to June 30, the end of the fiscal year, it is estimated that there have been completed to the latter date square miles, an area nearly equal to the combined area of four of the most important countries of Europe, as follows.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Soils of the Eastern United States and Their Use XXXIX: Meadow The word Meadow, as applied to soil conditions and as used in the soil classification of the Bureau of Soils, designates those low-lying, frequently somewhat swampy areas found along stream courses and tidewater embayments, which are subject to overflow and which are chiefly devoted to pasturage and the production of hay, when used for agricultural purposes, though usually occupied by trees and dense undergrowth when in their natural condition. Meadow areas, according to this classification, are necessarily variable in texture, since they are among the youngest of soils. They are partially completed soil areas which are subject to frequent accessions of material which may be similar to that already deposited or may differ widely in texture from earlier deposits, depending upon the character of the successive overflows. The term Meadow as here used possesses the oldest significance of the word. This arises from the fact that before the introduction of the majority of grasses and clovers now used for seeding, the moist, low-lying lands supported a growth of the wild grasses that formed the chief dependence of the early farmers both for grazing and for hay. With the introduction of new grasses and with the spread of grass culture to the uplands, the term was transposed, together with grass growing, and the broader significance of the term was made to include the agricultural use of all land of any character where grass was grown for hay. The older use of the term, which is the definition adopted by the Bureau of Soils, is much more definite and significant for the purposes of soil classification. Areas of Meadow of various sizes occur along the courses of nearly all of the larger streams of the eastern portion of the United States. Wherever the bottom lands are subject to periodic overflow such soils may be formed. As a result of this condition along all stream courses where soil building is in progress, areas of Meadow have been encountered in 173 different areas, located in 31 different States and aggregating a total of 3, 086, 829 acres. This vast area constitutes but a small part of the total, and it may be safely estimated that not less than 20, 000, 000 acres of such soil deposits exist in the eastern part of the country.

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-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 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.
