state Soil inventory.


To take a complete inventory of
the soils in the older sections as
well as in the undeveloped re-
gions, is the job that has been cut
out for the soils department, Universe
ty of Wisconsin, working in co-opera-
ton with the Wisconsin geological
and natural history survey and the
bureau of soils of the United States
department of agriculture.
Realizing that a thorough knowl-
edge of soils and what crops each
kind is adapted to is as essential to a
business farmer under present-day
| conditions as a knowledge Of mer-
chandise and salesmanship is to the
storekeeper the legislature has com
rnissioned these departments to sur
vey the soils of the state.
These surveys include the prepare
ton cf soil map showing the loca-
ton and extent of the different types
of soil in a given area. and descrip-
tive report which gives the names of
all the soils, the extent of their de-
velopment, conditions of fertility,
topography of the land, and other
things that may help to determine the
agricultural resources. The surveying
is done by trained men who examine
the soil to the depth of SO inches or
more, and who list the different types
according to texture of the soil grains,
surface features, amount of organic
matter, and evident origin.
The work of the soil survey is of
two kinds. In the thinly settled, new
ly developed regions the work is gen.
eral, while in the thickly settled coun-
ties in the central and southern parts
CT the state the survey is made in
greater detail, even showing varia-
tons in soil type on piece of land
ten acres or over in area.
Various state institutions are now
receiving more than one hundred let
ters a day inquiring about soil con-
ditions in the northern counties of
Wisconsin, which shows the import
ance of the preliminary soil surveys
in the region ready for settlement
A r. Whitson and w J. Geib of
Madison, who are directing the work,
report that up to the present time
preliminary or generas surveys have
been completed on more than $4,000
square miles, or about 81 per cent of
the entire state. Detailed surveys
have extended over total Of 1894
square miles or about II per cent of
the state. This makes 1896 square
miles, or 68 per cent of the total area,
which has been surveyed.
The northern half of the state has
been given a general soil survey, so
that the work of the entire force will
now be directed in detail work in the
southern half of the state not yet sur
veyed. In time, all portions of Wis
consin will be carefully covered by de-
tailed surveys and soil maps on
scale of one inch to the mile will be
available for general distribution.
