SOILS OF KENT SURVEYED
Detailed Color Map Shows Extent and
Distribution


The report of the soil survey of
Kent County, Delaware, made by the
Bureau of Soils, United States De-
partment of Agriculture, in coopera-
ton with the Delaware College Agri-
cultural Experiment Station, has been
published and is now available, ac-
cording to an announcement from the
department. The survey was made to
determine the nature of soil types in
order that local farmers and fruit
growers may be assisted in fitting
crops to soils to best advantage. The
report of the survey contains detail
ed color map of the county showing
the extent and distribution of the vari-
Gus soil types. 1t contains 80 pages
of text which describe the various soils
and discuss their capabilities. The re-
port also includes brief historical and
geographical sketches of the region,
together with statistics relating to the
climate and farm practices.
As a whole the drainage of the cas-
tern and western parts of Kent Coun-
ty is poor, while that of the central
belt is good. The eastern three-quar-
ters of the county is drained into Del
aware Bay and the western fourth in
to Chesapeake Bay. Transportation
facilities are good, and wagon roads
are numerous and, on the whole, are
kept in fair condition. The agricul-
ture of the county began over zoe
years ago with corn, wheat, and to.
bacco as the principal crops. Thirty
years ago the production of peaches
was extremely important, but the or
chard area has decreased. To-day the
leading crops are corn, wheat and hay

Bogalusa enterprise and American. (Bogalusa, La.) 1918-19??, 1921-06-23

is looking to America for its lumber.
We see then of what great impor-
lance Louisiana's supply is.
Many years ago, before any clear
ings were made in Louisiana, three
fourths of the State was forests. At
present there is three-fourths as much
cut-over land as there are virgin for
ests. The disappearance of our for
ests are due to insects and storms,
over which causes we have no con-
troll; numbering, which is indispensi-
BILE, on account of its important uses;
forest fires, which is a needless enc
my, resulting from the gross care
Iessness of our people, and. the razor
backed hog, which destroys the young
pines.
The consequence of this continual
forest destruction surely paves the
way to a timber famine. The people
of tomorrow will need lumber and
forest products Of all kinds, but will
not have them unless we reforest our
vast areas of unused land. The rea-
son for the high cost of building ma
terial is partly due to the shrink
ing supply of timber in this State,
and to the growing population.
In the last few years we have made
many improvements in our State, but
mostly with borrowed money, which
must be paid back in the future. The
disappearance of the forests will
cause shrinkage in the taxes. How
then, will our debts he paid and how
can we make more improvements?
Many of the people in this State are
employed by the sawmills and many
towns owe their existence to the lum-
Der industry. If these mills have to
close on account of no timber, these
towns will be deserted and Louisiana's
population will decrease.
There was a time in Europe when
timber was used Unfortunately, and
today she is paying the price. In
