Book Description
Excerpt from Soil Survey of the Red Bluff Area, California, 1912 Sir: In continuation of soil-survey work in the great interior val ley of California a survey was made of the Red Bluff area during 1910. This area covers a part of Tehama and Butte Counties. This is a region of varied soils. Lide areas, underlain by hardpan, will never be of much value for agriculture. These areas will be used, as they are at present, for grazing. On the other hand, there are a number of fertile types at present used for dry farming and, to a relatively limited extent, for crops under irrigation. The develop ment of the region agriculturally depends upon the installation Of comprehensive irrigation works. Sufficient water to irrigate all Of the better soils now passes down the streams during the flood period. It would be an engineering problem of great magnitude to store these flood waters in reservoirs along the upper courses Of the rivers and to lead them thence by canals to the different parts Of the area. The question of undertaking such a. Project, or projects, is under consideration, and preliminary surveys show it to be feasible. The outlining of the soils in the area and the valuation of the different types for the many special crops hat may be grown in this region where sufficient water is obtainable should be of value as a basis for estimating the capital that may be safely invested in irrigation work.
