Washington, ID. c., Dec, 1912.
The Sci! Survey report of Iowa coun-
ty, Wisconsin, made by the Bureau of
Soils in cooperation with the Wisconsin
Geological and Natural History Survey
has been issued by the Department of
Agriculture.
The area surveyed covers 754 square
miles, and Is situated in the southwest
ern part of state. The topography of
the county is elevated to rolling in the
middle section to slightly billy and
rougher TO the south, and deeply cut on
the north, becoming rougher as the
Wisconsin river is approached. The
drainage reaches the Mississippi river
by the Wisconsin and pecatonica rivers
and their tributaries. Transportation
facilities are good, and the population
is well distributed,
The climate is healthy, and the rain
fall generally sufficient for all crops,
says the report The county is dis
tlnetly a dairy section though corn is
an important crop. Cheese, cattle and
hogs are also important products. Al
falfa, root crops and silage should come
into general use as dairying develops.
Lead and zinc are extensively mined
in the southern and western parts of
the county. Seyenty-five per cent Of
the farms are operated by the owners.
The soils are residual and aIluvial,
thirteen types of which were mapped
during the survey. The land sells for
from S35 Ia 500 an acre.
