Effective rooting depth is 10 to <br />40 inches or more. <br />"This land is used for range, woodland and wildlife." <br />"These soils are well suited for permanent vegetation. Reseeding is <br />difficult if not impossible because of stones and cobble.3 Good range <br />management will increase the proportion of desirable plants and also improve <br />yield of forage. Using one-half the year's growth is a good practice. Some <br />of the better grasses for this land are the bluestems, needlegras:ses. <br />and sideoats grams." <br />Soil 29-B. Stony sandy loam, similar to 28-B. "This is a shallow, <br />well drained, poorly developed soil with a moderately light textured surface <br />and subsoil. There is a high percentage of rock and cobble throu~lhout. <br />Water intake rate is rapid. Water holding capacity is low".2 Capability <br />Unit, dry, is VII sl, the same as for soil 28-B. <br />All soils in the lease area are used for pasture. It is estimated by <br />the Soil Conservation Service that they will produce about 500 to 600 pounds <br />of air dry forage annually of which 250 to 300 pounds should be available to <br />cattle. <br />Water <br />The area contains both surface and underground water. Surface water is <br />represented by Coal Creek and some apparent stock ponds. The stock ponds <br />can be ignored. <br />Coal Creek crosses the northern part of the lease area in a ~;outhwest <br />to northeast direction, Figure J-1. <br />3Stony soils can be reseeded by hand.
