Synopsis
Excerpt from The Red Clay Soil of Porto Rico
In 1902 the Bureau of Soils made a soil survey of a strip of country 10 miles wide extending from Arecibo to Ponce.1 Within this area 19 different types of soil were encountered, and this by no means embraces all the soil types, that occur on the island. One Of the chief types in respect to area, though not in fertility, is the red. Clay soil which is classified by the Bureau of Soils as Adjuntas clay. During the last six years considerable experimental and analytical work concerning the nature and treatment of this red clay soil has been carried on. The experiments are being continued, but inas much as such work is never really closed, it has seemed. Advisable to publish the results obtained thus far, with the idea that although they do not definitely answer all questions that may arise concerning this soil, they should aid in its more intelligent and profitable treat ment.
