SOIL SURVEY WORK
Williams County Gets Assignment for
Soil Survey Work-.-Surveyor
will Arrive About May /.

Word has been received by
John Bruegger from Martin
Whitney, chief of the bureau of
soils Of the United States Depart
~partment Of Agriculture, that a
party has been assigned to make
a soil survey in the vicinity of
Williston. Thomas D. Rice, who
will have charge of this survey
will probably reach Williston
prepared to commence work on
or about May I. Mr.. Rice will
be joined in this area by repre-
sentative of the North Dakota
Economic Survey. Prof. D. E.
Willard, who has charge Of the
Economic Survey of this state,
has written that he will be in the
city in the near future, presum-
ably in the interests of this soil
survey.
The approximate area intend
ed to be covered by this survey
is 500 square miles, or about Il
townships. "A soil survey has
already been made Of number
of townships in the vicinity of
Fargo, Grand Forks, Valley City,
Minot and Bismarck.
The soil survey consists mainly
of a mechanical analysis and the
representation of like soils on a
colored map Of large enough
scale to show areas of from ten
to twenty acres. For obtaining
these samples an auger about
three feet in length is used. This
mechanical analysis will show
the condition of the soil in this
section of the state as compared
with other sections already test
ed and will enable the depart
ment of agriculture and mana
gers of farmers institutes to bet
ter advise the farmers in regard
to raising crops. A petition was
circulated in this city some time
ago and considerable money was
| subscribed to be used in defrayz
ing the expenses Of the North
Dakota man to be sent here to
assist Mr.. Rice in the work.
The work will be done in only
fifteen states this summer and
! this county is fortunate in get
ting this assignment.
