To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The condition of agriculture in any community depends upon four factors — soil, climate, transportation facilities, and the mental and physical energy of the population. The first two of these factors are natural, while the last two are to a great degree artificial. Usually it does not lie within the power of any community, however ener- getic, to modify the soils or the climate of a region to any marked extent. The great exception to this statement is in the arid States, SOIL SURVEY OF ST. MAR...Y COUNTY, MD. 139 where irrigation has been introduced, transforming desert areas into fertile farms. The actual conditions of the soil, the climate, and the transporta- tion facilities of St. Mary County have been treated separately in other chapters, but a general resume of the interrelationships of these factors and a slight reference to certain social and economic conditions prevailing in the count} 7 are necessary to a full appre- ciation of the present status of the county by its own inhabitants as well as by strangers.
