SOIL PROFILE By Brad Hatch Soil Conservation Service (Mr. Chet Ram Sharma of India, has kindly prepared an article for this column. He has been a visitor in Delta during the week of July 31 to August 4. Mr. Sharma has the position of District Agricultural Officer Of-ficer in Punjab State in India.) AS THIS WEEK in Delta runs to a close we would be completing our four-week program of studies in the fascinating Sevier River Basin, Ba-sin, under the auspices of the Soil Conservation Service of U. S. A. Apart from acquiring practical knowledge of the various activities of the SCS department in the management man-agement of soil, crops and water in this area, we had ample opportunities oppor-tunities to contact the farmers, irrigation companies and the office bearers of the Soil Conservation Districts. UNDOUBTEDLY THE WATER use in this basin is unique in its characters, char-acters, and the wide variations In the characters of soils, topography, drainage conditions and quality of water supplies all along the Sevier River provide innumerable aspects of interesting studies on crops, water use, drainage, reclamation and land use problems.

R. basin down to Delta is in itself an exceptional ex-ceptional situation. For the same reasons our one-month one-month study would perhaps be far from perfection. This would also Imply that the hurried conclusions that we may deduce from these observations or -the comments that might be offered with regards to the crop husbandry, irrigation methods me-thods and drainage of these areas (continued on back page) atD |
