Work of the Survey.

Utilization OF La nds for their greatest
value neoessitates the determination OF
that value, which is. briefly, land classi-
ficsuon; and, to be adequate, land ciassi
acquaintance with the particular land un-

tate including country ranging from salt
crusted deserts TO valleys knee-deep with
most tmpenetrdble because of luxurian Mt

be enacted can be made so definite as not

Judgment In their execution. To this end
examination and classification OF the

THE PROPER METHOD

There has been some confusion in re-

the proper mode of procedure In the
absence OF direct laws on the subject.
