SOIL SURVEY
Figure 8.— Landscape of the Wages- Eckley -Dix complex.
Typical profile of a Wages loam in pasture of native
grass (1,850 feet west, 225 feet south of the northeast
corner of section 17, T. 7 N., R. 47 W.) :
A -0 to 5 inches, grayish -brown (10YR 5/2) loam, very dark
grayish brown (10YR 3/2) when moist; weak, fine,
granular structure; soft when dry, very friable when
moist; noncalcareous ; pH 7.4; clear, smooth
boundary.
B2t -5 to 14 inches, dark grayish -brown (10YR 4/2) clay loam,
very dark grayish brown (10YR 3/2) when moist;
moderate, medium, prismatic structure that breaks to
moderate, medium, subangular blocky; slightly hard
when dry, friable when moist; noncalcareous ; pH
7.6; very thin, nearly continuous clay films; 5 per-
cent fine gravel; clear, smooth boundary.
B3ca -14 to 16 inches, light brownish -gray (10YR 6/2) clay
loam, dark grayish brown (10YR 4/2) when moist;
moderate, medium, prismatic structure that breaks to
weak, medium, subangular blocky; slightly hard
when dry, friable when moist; strongly calcareous;
pH 8.0; 5 percent fine gravel; clear, smooth boundary.
Cica -16 to 24 inches, light brownish -gray (10YR 6/2) loam,
dark grayish brown (10YR 4/2) when moist; massive
(structureless) to weak, coarse, subangular blocky
structure; hard when dry, friable when moist; very
strongly calcareous; pH 8.2; krotovinas of very dark
grayish brown (10YR 3/2) when moist; 5 to 10 per-
cent fine gravel; gradual boundary.
IIC2 -24 to 60 inches, light -brown (7.5YR 6/4) gravelly sandy
loam, dark brown (7.5YR 4/4) when moist; massive
(structureless) ; soft when dry, very friable when
moist; noncalcareous ; pH 8.2.
The A horizon ranges from 3 to 7 inches in thickness, and it
is loam or gravelly loam. In many areas the surface is covered
with pebbles as much as about 3 inches in diameter.
The B2t horizon is 6 to 15 inches thick, and it is more compact
and darker in the upper part than in the lower. Depth to layers
of accumulated lime ranges from 9 to 20 inches, and depth
to the underlying gravelly material is 20 to 40 inches.
Wages soils have a less clayey subsoil than occurs in Rich-
field or Platner soils. Wages soils have more gravel but are less
sandy than Ascalon soils.
Wages - Campus -Weld loams, 0 to 3 percent slopes
(WcB) are in a broad area near the northeastern corner of
the county. These soils are so closely associated that it is
not practical to map them separately. About 50 percent of
the complex is Wages soil, 25 percent is Campus soil, and
15 percent is Weld soil. Wages and Campus soils are on the
side slopes, and Weld soil is on the convex ridgetops. Each
kind of soil has a profile similar to the one described as
typical for its series.
Included with these soils were small areas of Richfield
soil that make up about 10 percent of the area mapped.
The included areas are closely associated with Campus
