<br /> , The A.or Ap horizons have hue of lOYR, value of 2 or 3, and chroma of 1 or 2. The E horizon
<br /> where present, has value of 3 to 5,and chroma af 1 to 3.The A and E horizons are loam or clay
<br /> loam,but saudy loam, fine sandy loam, or silt loam is within the.range. They�range from
<br /> moderately acid to neutral.
<br /> The Bt horizon has hue of lOYR or 2.5Y,value of 4 or 5, and chroma of 3 or 4. It is cIay.loam or
<br /> loam and has 24 to 35 percent clay anii 30 to 45 percent sand. The B/A clay ratios range from 1.2 ,
<br /> to 1.4. It is strongl:y acid to sIightly acid in the upper part and moderately acid to neatral in the
<br /> lower part.A Bw horizon is sometimes:present�below the St:
<br /> The Bk horizon has hue of 1:OYR or 2.SYR,value of 4 or 5, and chroma of 3 to 5.The Bk

<br /> COMPETING SERIES: These are the Anaus,�Ar��le,Baltimore; Bassett,Bloomin�, Caleb,
<br /> „ Dowagiac,Dunbridge, Gara,Koronis,Lauramie, Longlois, Lvdick,Mohawk;Neda;Newcbmer, '
<br /> Oneco, Orwood, Racine,Razort, SeUbo,TaoAi, Waucoma, and V��inneshiek soils in the same
<br /> � family.Angus and 3ebbo soil tiave saturation in the lower third of the series control section.
<br /> Argyle,Baltimore, and Oneeo soils have B horizons with 7.SYR or redder hue. Bassett soils are �
<br /> very strongly.acid to moderately acid in the upper part of the Bt horizon.Blooming and Racine
<br /> soils have 15 to 35 percent sand in the upper part of.the particle-size control section. Caleb soils
<br /> . have some subhorizons that have more than 45 percent in the lower.part of the controI section.
<br /> , Dowag'iac aad Koronis soils have]ess than 24 percent clay in the lower one third of the particle-
<br /> size control section..Dunbridge,Waucoma,.Newcomer and Winneshiek soils have sola
<br /> terminated by bedrock at depths above 60 inches. Gara soils average less than 2 percent rock
<br /> � fragments in the control section.Longlois, Lydic, and Neda soils have more than 8 percent rock
<br /> fragments in somesubhorizon of the eontrol section.Lauramie soils have mare.than 45 percent
<br /> ' sand in some subhorizon in the middle part of the control section. lViohawk soils have a higher
<br /> content of silt and have dark colors in.the B horizon which apparently are�inherited from dark �
<br /> shale; Orwood soils have no roek fragments in the particle-size coritrol section. Razort soils have
<br /> less than 30 percent sand in the control section.
<br /> _ G�OGRAP'�IIC SE�`TIIiiG: These soils have convex slopes on moraines and till plains.Slope
<br /> - gradients range from 5 to 70 percent. They formed in calcareous, loamy glacial till of late
<br /> , Wisconsinan Age.Mean annual temperature:ranges from 45 degrees to 52 degrees F. Mean
<br /> annual precipitation ranges from 25 to 33 inches. Frost free days range from 125 to 165.
<br /> Elevations range from 700 to 1600 feet. .
<br /> GEOGRAPI�ICALI.Y ASSOCIATED SOILS: These inciude the Cordo��a,Dundas, Glencoe,
<br /> Hamel, HouRhtQn, Klossner,Le Sueur, Muske�o, and:Nessel soils. Poorly drained Cordova and
<br /> somewhat poorly and poorly drained Dundas soils are on flats and upper drainageways with a
<br /> high seasonal water table. Very poorly drained.Glencoe,Houghton,K]ossner, and Muskego soils
