Know the Soil You Build on (Information Bulletin 320)

The text pages are clean and bright. This booklet helps homebuyers learn to check the type of soil before putting foundations down. "For soil resources, experience has shown that a natural system approach to classification, i. E. Grouping soils by their intrinsic property (soil morphology) , behaviour, or genesis, results in classes that can be interpreted for many diverse uses. Differing concepts of pedogenesis, and differences in the significance of morphological features to various land uses can affect the classification approach. Despite these differences, in a well-constructed system, classification criteria group similar concepts so that interpretations do not vary widely. This is in contrast to a technical system approach to soil classification, where soils are grouped according to their fitness for a specific use and their edaphic characteristics." (from Wikipedia).

A sequel to the deforestation is typically large scale erosion, loss of soil nutrients and sometimes total desertification. Techniques for improved soil conservation include crop rotation, cover crops, conservation tillage and planted windbreaks, affect both erosion and fertility. When plants die, they decay and become part of the soil. Code 330 defines standard methods recommended by the U. S. Natural Resources Conservation Service.". Very Good .

The association also included a credit union, Federal Credit Union. Membership in the credit union was open to members and employees of PPCC, as well as to their immediate family.

There was, and still is, a belief to increase knowledge resulting from research in all fields of dairying, particularly in the areas of dairy cattle breeding, and in finding new and expanded uses for dairy products. This is vital to the dairy industry. In 1967 further discussion by the board of directors resulted in appointments of committee members by the president at the time, Frank D. Brown, Jr. To study the possibility of a Guernsey Endowment. The committee consisted of Dr. Harry A. Herman, Greyble L. McFarland, Jr. And Kenneth A. Brighton." (American Guernsey Association).
