This applies to soils to be used tntenslvely for <br />playgrounds for baseball, football, badminton, and for other similar orgenlzed <br />games. These areos are subJoct to intensive foot traffic. A nearly level sur- <br />face, good dralnago, and soil texture and consistence that gives a tlrm surface <br />generally are required. The most desirable soils are free of rock outcrops <br />and coarse fragments.

These are shown for each of the slope groups. <br />on which the loll occurs. The capability classlticatton (s a grouping of soils <br />that show In a general way how suitable Choy are for most kinds of farming. <br />The eight capability classes Is the broadest grouping and are designated by <br />Roman numerals I through VIII. Class I Bolls have tho fowest Ilmltatlons,.and <br />Class VIII sobs have the greatest Ilmitatlons for farming. <br />~~ <br />The yields shown under "A" are yields to be expected under currant average <br />management, and yield under "f3" are expected yields that are obtained under <br />Improvod management. <br />Woodland or Windbreak sultabllity, Indicates tho sultabllity of the soil <br />to produce trees. <br />' The Range Site Is a classiticatlon used by SCS to catalogue kinds of land <br />that aro capable of producing essentially tho sorts kind and amount of climax . <br />or original vegetation. <br />Wildlife Sultabiltty is the proper manipulation of Boll, water, and plants <br />to producu sultablo habitat to maintain and Improvo wildlife populations. These <br />soils are rated for Choir capability to support wlldlito. <br />r<- <br />~ _ <br />
