Soil scientists walked across the fields and through the woodlands. Wherever each one went, he examined surface soils and subsoils; he measured slopes with a hand level; looked closely at the lay of the land; and watched for differences in the crops, weeds, brush and trees that were growing on the different soils. He carried an aerial photograph, and on it he plotted boundaries of the soils. He placed a symbol in each area to t ell what kind of soil he saw there.engSoil SurveysSoilsBook
