These moderateh well drained sandy soils occupy slight depressions, 

 runs, and nearly flat areas at the foot of sloping land in the areas covered 

 by the water-deposited soil materials. Only during times of extremely high- 

 water are they subject to overflow. However, their natural drainage is 

 affected by the temporary high water table that develops during periods of 

 heavy rain or snow melt, even though the sandv material is rapidly perme- 

 able. This drainage condition restricts the use of farm machinery during wet 

 weather and delays spring seeding to a slight degree. During relatively 

 dry seasons the available moisture is adequate for crop production. In some 

 cases artificial drainage may be feasible to allow more intensive use of 

 these soils.
