12 <br /> to 18" would provide Poor class material because of increased <br /> stoniness - poorer texture - consistence relations and danger <br /> of inclusion of raw shales and sandstone. <br /> Prime Farm Land Considerations. These lands are best suited to <br /> use as native pasture. They are not suited for cultivated crops. <br /> 5810I Shavano sandy clay loam and fine sandy loam, intermittently <br /> flooded 2-5% (2.79 acres) , 5-10% (1.75 acres) . These are small local <br /> areas where irrigation and small drain flows intermittently wet the <br /> soil to the paralithic contact and produce temporarily wet condi- <br /> tions. There is no mottling to indicate permanent wetness and, <br /> when the conditions contributing to wetness are removed, these <br /> soils resemble the Shavano series central concept. These small areas <br /> were not sampled since, except for location, they were similar to 5810. <br /> 5810I Topsoil Suitability - The lower slopes may supply similar <br /> quality material to 5810 and to about the same depth. The steeper <br /> slopes would also be similar to the steeper slopes of soil 5810. <br /> Prime Farm Land Considerations. For the same reasons as given for <br /> soil 5810, these are not really prime farm lands. The smoother, <br /> more gentle slopes could be irrigated but the acreage is small (less <br /> than 3.0 acres) . <br /> 9904-Persayo clay loam, 10-20% slopes (10.55 acres) <br /> This is a fine loamy mixed (calcareous) frigid, paralithic, (ustic) <br /> Torriorthent. It occurs on three small isolated ridges in the <br /> tract. The surface soil may range in texture from sandy clay loam <br /> to clay loam with variable content of shale and sandstone fragments; <br /> and in color from light yellowish brown (10YR6/4) or yellowish brown <br /> (10YR5/8) dry, to dark bran (7.5YR4/4) , moist; with weak fine <br /> granular to almost massive structure. It is slightly hard dry, <br /> friable moist and sticky when wet. These surface soils are <br />
