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.

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.

Download or read book Soils of the Eastern United States and Their Use XXXVIII written by Jay A. Bonsteel and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-12-07 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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: 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.
