Book Description
Excerpt from Soil Survey of Columbia County, Wisconsin, 1916 Before the greatest success in agriculture can be reached, it is necessary that the farmer should have a thorough knowledge of the soil upon his own farm. A soil may 'be well adapted to one crop, and poorly adapted to another crop. Clover will produce a vigorous growth and profitable yields on the average loam soil which contains lime and is in a sweet condition; but on a sandy soil which is sour, or in an acid condition, clover will not make a satisfactory growth. We may say, therefore, that failure is cer tain to be invited when such important facts are disregarded, or overlooked. The degree Of success which it is possible to win on any farm is in direct proportion to the practical knowledge pos sessed by the farmer concerning the soil and its adaptation to crops. A thorough knowledge of the soil is as essential to the farmer as a knowledge of merchandise and business methods is to the merchant. The State of Wisconsin working in cooperation with the United States Department of Agriculture, is making a careful study of soils and agricultural conditions throughout Wisconsin, and is preparing soil maps and soil reports Of all counties in the State. A soil map shows the location and extent of the different kinds of soil. Tracts Of 10 acres and over are mapped, but Often areas of even smaller extent are shown. The soil map is prepared by trained men, who go over a county thoroughly, and examine the soil by making a sufficient number Of borings to a depth of 36 inches to keep account Of all variations. A report is also made to accompany and explain the map, and this is based upon a careful study of the soils within the region surveyed, and upon such other features as have a direct bearing upon the agriculture Of the area.
