The Sud.+orth <br />series is well drained with a water table at a depth of 4 to 6 feet. <br />GEOGRAPHIC SETTING: Apmay soils are on flood plains at elevation of <br />6,.200 to 7,000 feet. Slopes range trom 0 to 5 percent. These soils <br />'formed in mixed alluvium. Mean annual temperature is 41 to 45 degrees <br />F, and the-mean summer temperature is 60 to 62 degrees F. Annual <br />temper.a.tures:.are..up to 47 degrees r. in southerly areas of the state. <br />Thee.mean.annua:l.:.:p,recipitation is 13 to 20 inches. The frost-free season <br />- '-is .7~5 Gto =1OO;:d:ays.. <br />. GEOGRAPHICALLY ASSOCIATED SOILS: These are the Homelake soils. The <br />Hornelake 'soi.ls.lack sandy-skeletal substratums above 40 inches. <br />'. :}:..~:~- :~a- <br />`DRAI~NAGE RND:iPERMEP,BILITY: Somewhat poo r l y drained.

The <br />mo~l~~ic epi.p'edon .is at 0 to 19 inches and an irregular carbon <br />distribution is present.
