What reading level is Soil Survey Around Imperial Cal Report book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
IMPERIAL LOAM. The Imperial loam was found to comprise a part of each township mapped. The surface is smooth and level as a floor, almost devoid of vegetation. It has the peculiar, slick, shin}' appearance often seen in localities where water has recently stood. It is the direct sediment of the Colorado River which has been deposited in strata when the area was under water. These strata are from 0. 01 inch to 2 or 3 inches thick, resembling shale very much, in fact, to all external appearances ...being exactly similar. When water is applied, however, the soil softens up and is a reddish sticky loam, a little heavier than a silt loam. It is from 4 to 6 feet deep, underlaid by a clay or clay loam, and contains considerable organic matter, including an abundance of nitrogen and potash. When free from alkali it is well adapted to the growth of wheat, barle}', and alfalfa. This soil is in the main alkaline and in some places to such a degree as to preclude all possibility- of profitable agriculture.
