The Sandy loans

The sandy loans in Washtenaw
County represent a "step-up' In
fertility and productivity and Are
much preferable to the five loamy
sands for gardening The series
names are Berrien. Bellefontaine,
Brady, Bronson, Fox, Clifford, Hills
dale, and Newton While these
soils tend to become depleted in
fertility through continuous exploit
tive cropping, nevertheless when
well drained and properly managed
by including manure, phosphates,
potash, and legumes and an oc-
casional lining where necessary,
these sandy loans respond with
consistently satisfactory produc-
ton They vary from an ordinary
sandy loan TO a fine sandy loan
in the same field The finer phase
is the better. These are some or
the most enjoyable soils for home
gardens, because they are easy to
till and still have sufficient clay
in the subsoil to retain some mois-
ture throughout the dry summer
They also produce good crops OF
grain, legume hay. and other farm
crops when well managed.
The intermediate Loans
The soil next higher in fertility
than sandy loan is intermediate
loan. Intermediate loan is inter
mediate In texture between very
fine sandy loans and silt loan.
Since 1t occupies the middle po-
sition in the classification OF loans.
the Bureau of Soils refers to it
simply as loan. The five principal
classes OF loans are sandy loan,
fine sandy loan, intermediate loan,
silt loan and clay loan. At the
one extreme sandy loan contains
only small amount of clay or silt
PARTICLES but a large amount or
sand. At the other extreme. clay
loan contains only a small amount
The Ypsilanti daily press. (Ypsilanti, Mich.) 1928-1962, 1944-05-17

OF sand but large amount OF fine
clay particles. Between these two
extremes are the other three loans
as listed above with intermediate
loan in the middle.
The series names OF the II prin-
cipal intermediate loans OF this
county are Bronson, Brookston.
Conover. Fox, Genessee, Clifford.
Griffin. Maumee, Miami, Waikiki.
and Washtenaw. These loans are
the farmers favorites because they
are very productive and compare
lively easy TO till. Although they
often require drainage and ferti-
lizers nevertheless they retain fer
ility well and many farm crops
thrive on them better than on most
other soils. The intermediate
loans are excellent garden soils

is poorer in wet year on interme

Senate Group Votes

The Senate Postwar Planning
Committee yesterday decided TO
recommend speedy passage of a
contract termination law without

program
This special group, headed by
Senator George, Democrat, Of
Georgia. will ask the Senate Mill
Itary Affairs Committee to bring out
an amended version OF the Murray
George bill, creating the once of
Director of Contract Settlement,
within the existing Once of War
Mobilization.
The original rehabilitation bill
would have created an ONCE Of
Generalization with extensive con-
troll over postwar plant and prop
erty disposal and other functions In
addition to contract termination.
The director of contract settle
ment would have power to take over
and channel through the appropri-
ate agencies of Government the in
Iventories involved in contract ter
limitations. Senator George pointed
out that final settlement OF con-
tract claims could not be made I'M
less the director had power over
inventories"
Could Extend Aid.
The director also would be en-
powered to approve interim Govern
ment financing for contractors
whose contracts are terminated
This could take the form of advance
payments or loans based on amounts
owed to contractors when their con-
tracts are closed.
The contract settlement chief
would be appointed by the President
and confirmed by the Senate. He
would submit quarterly reports to
Congress. aH III 1u
