Suitable fur Cultivation:
Clara 1. Without special practices. (Fertilizer and simple crop rotations may be used.)
Class 2. With simple practices. (Such as contour cultivation or strip cropping.)
Clara 8. With complex or intensive practices. (Usually a combination of practices are needed.)
Clara 4. With intensive practices and limited use. (Long rotation with no row crops, or cultivated in small acreages.
B. Not Suitable for Cultivation:
Clara 5. Without special practices. (Crazing land to fullest capacity; normal logging operations if in woodland.)
Class 8. With moderate restriction in use. (Rotation grazing; logging operations under soil protecting practices.)
Clara 7. With severe restrictions in use. (Limited grazing; highly selective logging operations.)
Clara 8. With or without special practices.- (Adapted to wildlife habitat only.)
To illustrate the factors considered in determining a class of land, here is a brief description of Class 1 land: It is first of all, land highly suitable for cultivation, for it does not have a permanently high water table; neither is it stony or spotted with rock ledges. Furthermore, row crops can be raised without appreeiablbe danger of erosion. Finally, it retails and supplies sufficient moisture and plant food to maintain the soil in a state of high productivity.
Thus we can see how the classification of land according to its capabilities is based upon the ability ..of. land to produce. Land, like people, varies in this ability.
Prices Forecast
For Fruits, Vegetables
Apple prices this fall are expected to be near those for the 19>50 crop, but an increase is in view for the winter apples.
Dr. J. L. Maxton, marketing specialists at V.P.I., says the fall apple crop is larger this year than last. The main fall apple on the market is the Jonathan—good for fresh eating and for cooking.
The crop of winter apples, particularly of thd Delicious variety, is smaller than last year, so there’ll be fewer going into cold storage, and prices likely will be' somewhat higher.
