Hie soil data indicates what the potential problems or limitations are. It gives the landuser guidance on what to investigate on site to assure himself that an in dividual plot is typical of the soil survey mapping unit. The soil scientist maps approximately 320 acres of land in an 8 hour day. This is a 40-plus acre per hour rate. He uses a soil auger to probe into the soil to determine the depth, drainage, texture and other facts needed to identify the soil. The soil scientist also measures the slope. These facts are recorded on an aerial photo and become the soil survey map. Copies of these maps are given to the county planning commission, Agriculture Extension {Service, forester, sanitary engineers, engineers, fertilizer and lime sales companies. Individual soil maps are used by cooperators of the Lebanon Conservation District in the preparation of their con servation plans. Mosaics of soil sheets are color coded to show township planners the areas of flood plains, steep slopes, stony areas, shallow depth to bed rock, seasonal high water table, and deep well drained soil. Land developers and their engineers find soil in formation especially helpful in planning streets, lots, and recreation areas. Soil information is available to anyone who ieeds this data from the US Soil Conservation Service Office, Lebanon Post Office and Federal Building, Bth and Chestnut Streets, Lebanon.
