Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book details the soil classifications and evaluations conducted in three specific areas of Western San Diego County, California. The author conducted this study as part of a broader soil evaluation of California and its major agricultural regions. The soil classifications in this book serve as an update to a previous survey conducted in 1915. The author conducted the new surveys between 1929 and 1930, using more advanced techniques and a more granular scale. This book describes the author's updated soil classifications and evaluates the soils based on their agricultural value. It also provides insights into the relationship between soil characteristics and common agricultural crops in the region. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a method to rate the agricultural value of soils, called the Soil Index, developed by R. Earl Storie, an assistant soil technologist in the California Agricultural Experiment Station. The author presents a detailed explanation of the three general factors that are considered in arriving at the index: the character of the soil profile, soil texture, and other modifying factors. Storie created a scale of 100 percent for each factor, with limiting maximum and minimum ratings ascribed to conditions that are less favorable for plant growth. The author's concept of soil profiles and their importance to the quality of soil, as well as the chemical composition of the several horizons, serve as a base for the index. The author emphasizes that this index is not, in itself, an index for land evaluation because other factors, such as climate or availability of water for irrigation, must also be included. However, the author also believes that an index focused on soil quality does simplify the work of land classification and evaluation and is one of the more stable elements used to determine land value.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. Natural Land Divisions of Santa Cruz County is a comprehensive study of the abundant natural and physical environments of Santa Cruz and their impact on land use practices from the mid-1800s through the 1930s. The author examines how the county's varied topography, soil conditions, historical climate, and vegetation have shaped agricultural productivity, water conservation, timber yield, and recreational land use. His insights provide a framework for understanding how a specific area's natural resources can be harnessed to support sustainable agriculture and recreation for the benefit of its local inhabitants.

Soft cover. Condition: Good. 1st Edition. Paperback. In original tan printed wrappers, 46 pp., 2 black and white photographic plates, 1 folding figure, and very large folding color soil survey map of the Barstow area at rear. The map, based on U. S. Geological Survey topographic coverage, shows cultural details (individual buildings, roads, railroads, etc.) in addition to soil types and distribution within the region, necessary for delineating important and desirable agricultural areas. Descriptions and characteristics of soil classifications shown on the map are provided in the report together with information about principal and lesser crops grown at the time of the survey. An early edition and possibly the first soil survey of the Barstow area. Later soil surveys provide more maps and finer details but lack the visual appeal, simplicity, and historical content of this earlier large color map. *** Condition: Complete as issued. Ex-library with ink stamp and call numbers on front wrapper, else the booklet is internally clean with no other markings. Removed from bound volume with roughness and chipping to wrappers along the bound edge, loose or detaching pages, and stitch holes along the left margin not affecting the map.
