These soil surveys were originally designed to assist farmers and ranchers to guide them in developing a scienti fic toil and water conserva tion plan for the proper use and protection of all the land on the farm or ranch. But, in recent years home builders, community planners, high way engineers, and others have discovered their multiple benefits. Requests for soil surveys iiw non-farm areas hare moretiian doubled in the past- few years. Soils'are much like a book. You cannot judge the quality of a book by its cover, nor can you judge the quality of soils by observing just the -u.f (x. _oil surveys for farm ers and ranchers have pointed out alternative methods of using the soil and saved the rural landowners from trying to grow crops unsuited to their environment. A kernel of wheat, planted in a soil with an excessively high water table, will have a diffi cult time germinating and growing to maturity. Houses, roads, factories, and public buildings "planted" in satu rated soils will, like the wheat plant, have to divert some of their growth resources to overcoming the water pro Mml Other problems which a new home owner can exper ience are the failure of his septic tank filter field, walls and foundations crack, or soil creeps or slips if built on side slopes. Some soils have an ideal mixture of sand, silt, and clay in the subaoil to permit water to percolate at a rate desirable for septic tank filter field to be used with no expected adverse problems. Other soils have a high per centage of clay which will reduce the percolation of water in the filter field and cause the homeowner to have trouble with his septic tank system. Other soils have a kind of clay in the subsoil which "has a high shrink -swell potential. If this the case, the home owner can expect trouble not only from his septic tank system, but he most likely will experience some cracks in the walls and foundation of his new home. These soils which have a subsoil with a high shrink-swell potential will shrink when the soil is dry causing the soil to "settle". When moisture re-enters the soil, the >il under the house will swell, causing the house to be lifted upward. The combination of those two forces working against each other has but one result-your split level home really has a split. Homes built on too steep side slopes may find their home to be sliding down hill. Some of these slides are at such a slow rate that the homeowner cannot see it with his naked eye But, sooner or later, cracks will appear in the walls of his home. A classic example of homes damaged by creep* or slides is those which occurred recently in California, West Virginia inri Virginia Load-bearing capacity must, be considered before a new road is planned, or an area is designated as an indus trial site. Some soils are sub ject to flooding, others may have only a few inches of soil resting atop on solid rock. Or the rock may be weathered and is soft, giving little sup port to a building. Soils are also considered in regard to suitability for camp sites, picnic areas, and inten sive play areas. Soil features which affect these recreation areas are: flood hazard, water table slope, traffic-ability, and surface. $10.00 flne and costs. Norman Junior Alston, speeding. $10.00 fine and costs.
