Files Results
Of Soil SURVEY

The report of the soil survey
covering the lands of the irri-
gated valleys of the Big Horn
and Little Big Horn made by
F. K. NunnS, assistant agron-
omist of the state college is
now on file in the office of
the county extension agent,
George w. Gustafson said yes
terday.
This survey gives a tabulation
of the several types of soil
found in the valleys, ranging
from the Bank sands to the
heavy clay loans. Two sets of
maps have been prepared the
first showing the different types
of soil and the other a clasSifi-
cation of the land under irriga-
ton. On the former are located
such characteristics as the SER
iously alkalied soil, swamp spots
local poor drainage, artificial
deep drains, seeped and moder-
ately alkali spots, rocky and
gravelly areas. On the second
are found four classes of land
as follows:
First class irrigated lands
those that are productive, hav-
ing friable soils with good
drainage and relief favorable
for irrigation. Suited to the
production of any crops adap-
ted to the area.
Second class lands-thoSe that
have proven productive, desir-
able soils, but inferior to those
of the first class, possible fol
reasons Of slightly deficient
drainage, greater difficulty ir
operation, moderate alkali i'm
pregnation or poorer relief fol
irrigation.
Third class lands-those Of
moderate to low productivity
They may have one or more Of
the following defects: Poor ex-
ternal or internal drainage
poor filth, difficult to operate
alkali impregnation or rough
relief. These are soils that time
and good management or i'm.
proved drainage make SecOnc
class irrigated lands.
Fourth class lands those thai
are unsuited for irrigation ag'
riculture. They may have ONT
or several of the following
difficulties: Low productivity
