98 SOIL PHYSICS AND MANAGEMENT 



texture, structure and color from the surface downward. They 

 occur as first bottom of the Piedmont region and in the Coastal 

 Plain. Soils are productive, yielding corn, cotton, cane, oats and 

 forage crops. 



Frio Series. These consist of dark-colored soils which have 

 been brought down from the Edwards Plateau and deposited in 

 terraces along the larger streams. They are excellent agricul- 

 tural soils. 



Genesee Series. The Genesee series consists of dark brown to 

 grayish brown alluvial sediment deposited along the major streams 

 and their tributaries throughout the northeastern glaciated region. 

 They are subject to overflow. Good soils for corn, oats, sugar beets, 

 potatoes, cabbages, and grass. 



Holston Series. These consist of yellowish brown to brown 

 surface soils and yellow subsoils. It is developed in old alluvial 

 terraces, sometimes standing 200 feet or more above the first bot- 

 tom of streams. The material is derived principally from sand- 

 stone and shale. The soils give fair to good crops of corn, wheat, 

 oats, grass, clover, and forage crops. 



Huntington Series. These are light brown to brown and the 

 subsoils yellow to light brown. Frequently there is little change in 

 the color or character of the material. They occur in the limestone 

 and Appalachian Mountain regions as first bottoms. They are ex- 

 cellent soils and well adapted to corn, oats, grass and forage crops 

 under proper climatic conditions. More than 1,237,000 acres have 

 been mapped. 



Kalmia Series. The surface soils are gray to grayish yellow. 

 The subsoils are mottled gray and yellow. The series is found along 

 streams of the Coastal Plain on terraces above overflow. The sur- 

 face is flat. When properly drained the soils are suited to corn, 

 cotton, sugar cane, and forage crops. 



Laredo Series. This series consists of gray to light brown, 

 calcareous soils with gray, calcareous subsoils. They occur" as ter- 

 races along streams in south Texas, and are quite valuable when 

 irrigated. 



Lintonia Series. The surface soils of this series are light 

 brown or yellowish brown and of silty texture. The subsoils are of 

 slightly lighter color. They occupy stream terraces and alluvial 

 land. Grass, forage crops, corn, oats, Irish potatoes, peanuts, cab- 

 bage, and vegetables are grown. 



Miller Series. These soils are of chocolate brown to pinkish
