<br />1a <br />livestock water developments help to prevent range <br />deterioration and promote production of the more <br />desirable plant species. In renovating, seed should be <br />drilled into awell-prepared, firm, weed-free seedbed. <br />Suitable grasses for seeding are intermediate <br />wheatgrass, pubescent wheatgrass, western wheatgrass, <br />and Arizona fescue. <br />The soil is well suited to use as homesites. The towns <br />of Westclitie and Silver Clift are on this soil. <br />This soil is in capability subclass Vle, nonirrigated. <br />11-Feltonia-Coutis sand loams 6 to 15 ercent <br />slo ems.
