Abstract
FOLLOWING the lead set by the American Bureau of Soils, the State of Wisconsin has arranged for a soil survey, and is publishing the results in a series of attractive booklets, well provided with maps, diagrams, and illustrations. First of all, there was issued in 1911 the so-called “Reconnaissance Soil Survey of Part of North-West Wisconsin,” in which a general account was given of the geology, climate, soil, and agriculture of the area. This has now been followed by more detailed accounts of the various counties. It is proposed to complete the work by issuing a series of bulletins dealing with the management of the different types of soil, and on the I-in. maps issued with these reports the various soil types are so clearly defined that the farmer would have no difficulty in locating his land, and so discerning which particular bulletin would give him advice as to cropping and management.
