Excerpt from Your Land and Its Use in the Kamas Valley Soil Conservation District, Vol. 166: October 1951 Soil conservation surveyors have gone over the farms in Kamas Valley field by field. Using an auger or spade, they examined and sampled the soil. In this way they learned how deep it is, what kind of material is underneath, how heavy or light it is, and the height of the water table. They measured the slopes of the land and how much erosion had occurred, if any, and they recorded the kind of crops being grown on the land. They put all of this information on aerial photo graphs. 'this soil conservation survey map shows what the land on your farm is like and helps you to know what it needs.
