O'Neill high Future Farmer o( America, is author of this soil conservation article- third in a series. > • • • We have many kinds of soils due to various factors such is parent material, climatic condi tions vegetation, topography and age of the land. Each soil has a life history which can be com pared to the periods of human life youth, maturity. and old age with changes continuously tak ing place. Our soils have been classified into great soil groups These great soil groups are divided in to soil scries; the series into soil types and these in turn arc fur ther subdivided into soil phases , Soil surveys of more than half j of our farm land have been made by the division of soil survey. V S department of agriulture, in coojvration with state agriculture experiment stations in recent years, the soil conservation ser vice has made farm maps of millions of acres and today has full responsibility at the national, level for carrying out the basic classification surveys. Soil maps, showing the types of soil and pro ductivity ratings along with other features, are helpful to individual farmers in learning more about their particular soils and in plan ing a sound land management program. Much has Ivon learned con cerning the physical, chemical and biological properties of soils and a great deal of this informa tion is available for practical farm use. State agricultural colleges, county agents, soil conservation district sujH'rvisors or vocational teachers will know if a soil sur vey has txvn made for any par- j ticulnr area and will assist in ob taining and explaining maps If a hole is dug in almost any soil, a series of horizontal soil layers of varying thickness will be observed. Such layers are very noticeable in new highway or railroad cuts. The soil layers or horizons differ from one an other more or less sharply in such properties ns color, texture, struc ture and other jihysical and chemical characteristics. A soil profile usually consists of three major divisions, designated as A, B and C horizons. The A horizan includes the upper part of the profile in which life is most active. This horizon, which commonly includes the plowed layer, is the most productive due to its normally higher organic matter content and crumbly con dition. The B horizon is gener ally called the subsoil and the C horizon is the unwreathered par ent material. Miss Sharlene Shoemaker is home from Mt. St. Scholastica college in Atchison, Kans.
