Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Miami Series of Soils The topography of the different members of the series ranges from nearly level or only gently undulating to more rolling and ridged. Locally, sharply; sloping ridges and small areas in which erosion has developed a choppy surface are encountered. By far the greater part of the area occupied by the important types of the series is best described as gently undulating to moderately rolling.

This book was released on 2018-02-24 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Soils of the Eastern United States and Their Soils IX: The Miami Clay Loam It would be totally impossible properly to till the Miami clay loam with lightweight farm teams or inadequate tools. This is thoroughly recognized throughout practically all areas where the type occurs, and as a result the heavy two - horse teams and the more powerful forms of farm machinery are prevalent. With these teams and implements deep plowing of the surface soil is possible, and thorough harrowing and tillage of the type can be conducted at all of the later stages. A large proportion of the crops planted or sown is placed in the ground by the use of the two-horse corn planter or the large size grain drill with fertilizer and seeder attachments. Disk harrows and the riding cultivators are also used extensively and the farm equipment is usually adequate and substantial.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Soils of the Eastern United States and Their Use: The Memphis Silt Loam The soil type is derived from the weathering of the loess, a silty. Material associated with the glaciation of regions farther north. The Memphis Silt. Loam occurs at all altitudes from 50 feet above sea level in Louisiana to 500 or 600 feet above sea level in Illinois and Missouri. In general the drainage is good, although local areas marked by a gray-surface soil and the presence of iron concretions or iron gravel are in need of tile underdrainage. Owing to its soft, silty nature and its considerable elevation above adjoining bottom lands, a large part of the Memphis silt loam has been subjected to destructive erosion, and in such areas not over 20 per cent of the total extent of the type can be brought under tillage. In other areas, more remote from active stream erosion, fully 35 per cent of the type may be tilled, although erosion still constitutes a serious problem in the handling of this soil.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Soils of the Eastern United States and Their Use XIV, Vol. 36: The Fargo Clay Loam Within later years disk plows and disk harrows are to some extent displacing the gang plow and the spike-tooth or spring-tooth harrow. Upon farms in the more southern areas where the Fargo clay loam has been encountered, dairy barns and dairy equipment are also found, and there is an increasing interest in the development of dairy husbandry. In general, however, the type is devoted to grain growing and preeminently to the production of spring wheat.

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.

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.

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.
