REDFIELD SERIES. 



This series is derived from disintegration of red sandstone and 

 usually occupies valley areas. 



Redfield sandy loam. — Red sandy loam, 6 feet in depth. Soil 

 derived from disintegration of red sandstone, and is usually well 

 drained. In certain areas soil contains gravel within 3 feet cf sur- 

 face, and this gravel increases in amount and size in lower depths. 

 Valley floor sloping gently toward the mountains, or upper bench 

 lands. Adapted to alfalfa and grain, when so situated that irriga-
