These slopes would produce but little pasture, and if the land were to be cultivated, would erode badly even with the best of care. Serious erosion — Land subject to serious erosion but suited for special types of agri- culture. This group includes the rolling hilly land which is well adapted for pasture, orchard, or some vegetable crops, but which has slopes too steep to permit continued cultivation, except in some instances where terracing might permit some cultivation. Harmful erosion — This group includes the undulating or rolling crop land v/hich under conditions of average good faxming is subject to harmful sheet washing or gullying, destroying the natural fertility of the soil. Erosion in this group can be controlled well enough by special rotations or terraces to permit a more or less permanent agriculture, Negligible erosion — This group includes the gently undulating to level soils which do not erode under, conditions of average good farming.

This group includes the ro^agh, broken, hilly land with slopes of such a nature that the land is not well adapted for cultivation or pasture. These slopes would produce but little pasture, and if the land were to be cultivated, would erode badly even with the best of care. Serious erosion — Land subject to serious erosion but suited for special types of agri- culture , This group includes the rolling hilly land v/hich is well adapted for pasture, orchard, or some vegetable crops, but v/hich has slopes too steep to permit continued cultivation, except in some instances v/here terracing might permit some cultivation. Harmful erosion — This group includes the undulating or rolling crop land which under conditions of average good farming is subject to harmful sheet washing or gullying, destroying the natiural fertility of the soil. Erosion in this group can be controlled well enough by special rotations or terraces to permit a more or less permanent agriculture. Negligible erosion — This group includes the gently undulating to level soils which do not erode -onder conditions of average good farming. Some types in this groxsp may show some erosion on continued cultivation with poor rotations. --Department of Agronomy, University of Illinois t '- -' J ^Tf t^. ■I'l'l^ :'>.'r\' CROPS AIID LI^/3ST0CK 16, 'ercent.-^ges of Illinois Crop and Pasture Land in V.uriouq Uses, 1939^ 1/ Corn Winter wheat Rye Spring grains Ha:- Other crops Pasture^/ Idle, fallow dc failure^ / Carroll 25.0 .4 .3 19.0 14.6 1.5 36.9 2.3 D eKalb 38.4 .6 .1 29.7 10.7 2.5 16.3 1.7 Jo Daviess 16.1 .1 .1 12.8 16.9 .3 51.7 2.0 Leo OrT-le iiL C.O. / 2.3 .4 25.3 8.6 1.9 22.1 3.7 ?9.8 .4 .2 27.3 12.3 1.0 27.2 1.8 Corn Winter wheat Rye Spring grains Hay Other crops Pasture- , Idle, fallow & failure^' Rock Islan d Stenhenson rr.:itoside Winneloago 29.7 1.7 .7 12.1 12.4 1.9 37 .

Serious erosion — Land subject to serious erosion but suited for special types of agri- culture , This group includes the rolling hilly land v/hich is well adapted for pasture, orchard, or some vegetable crops, but v/hich has slopes too steep to permit continued cultivation, except in some instances where terracing might permit some cultivation. Harmful erosion — This group includes the undulating or rolling crop land which under conditions of average good farming is subject to harmful sheet washing or gullying, destroying the natural fertility of the soil. Erosion in this group can be controlled well eno^jgh by special rotations or terraces to permit a more or less permanent agriculture, Negligible erosion — This group includes the gently undulating to level soils which do not erode under conditions of average good farming.

This group includes the rough, "broken, hilly land v/ith slopes of such a nature that the land is not well adapted for cultivation or pasture. These slopes v/ould produce but little pasture, and if the land were to be cultivated, would erode badly even with the best of care. Serious erosion — Land subject to serious erosion but suited for special types of agri- culture . This group includes the rolling hilly land v/hich is well adapted for pasture, orchard, or some vegetable crops, but v/hicn has slopes too steep to permit continued cultivation, except in some instances where terracing might permit some cultivation. Harmful erosion — This group includes the undulating or rolling crop land which under conditions of average good farming is subject to harmful sheet v/ashing or gullying, destroying the natural fertility of the soil. Erosion in this group can be controlled well enough by special rotations or terraces to permit a more or less permanent agriculture, negligible erosion — This group includes the gently undulating to level soils v/hich do not erode under conditions of average good farming. Some types in this group may show some erosion on continued cultivation with poor rotations. — Department of j^ronomy, University of Illinois a- f . ' .' ' ',/' CROPS J^D LIVESTOCK 27.

This group includes the ro-ogh, broken, hilly land with slopes of such a natijire that the land is not well adapted for cultivation or pasture. These slopes v/ould produce but little pasture, and if the land were to be cultivated, would erode badly even with the best of care. Serious erosion — Land subject to serious erosion but suited for special types of agri- culture . This group includes the rolling hilly land which is well adapted for pasture, orchard, or some vegetable crops, but v/hich has slopes too steep to permit continued cultivation, except in some instances where terracing might permit some cultivation. Harmful erosion — This group includes the undulating or rolling crop land which under conditions of average good farming is subject to harmful sheet v/ashing or gullying, destroying the natural fertility of the soil. Erosion in this group can be controlled well enough by special rotations or terraces to permit a more or less permanent agriculture.

The state may be divid<=d, however, into areas in which these factors havr> a considerable degree of uniformity and in which the agri- cultural problems are similar. These areas, and the counties included in each, are as follows: Area 1 , — Ilorth'^astern, Dairy a nd tr uc k area . Boon<=, Cook, DuPag*^, Kan«=, Lake and L'cHenry, Ar^a 2 . — Northwestern.

This group includes the rough, broken, hilly land with slopes of such a nature that the land is not well adapted for cultivation or pasture. These slopes v^ould produce but little pasture, and if the land were to be cultivated, would erode badly even with the best of care. Serious erosion — Land subject to serious erosion but suited for special types of agri- culture. This group includes the rolling hilly land v/hich is well adapted for pasture, orchard, or some vegetable crops, but v/hich has slopes too steep to permit continued cultivation, except in some instances where terracing might permit some cultivation. Harmful erosion — This group includes the undulating or rolling crop land which under conditions of average good farming is subject to harmful sheet v/ashing or gullying, destroying the natural fertility of the soil. Erosion in this group can be controlled well enough by special rotations or terraces to permit a more or less permanent agriculture. Negligible erosion — This group includes the gently undulating to level soils which do not erode under conditions of average good farming.

These slopes would produce but little pasture, and if the land were to be cultivated, would erode badly even with the best of care. Serious erosion — Land subject to serious erosion but suited for special types of agri- culture. This group includes the rolling hilly land which is well adapted for pasture, orchard, or some vegetable crops, but which has slopes too steep to permit continued cultivation, except in some instances where terracing might permit some cultivation. Harmful erosion — This group includes the undulating or rolling crop land which under conditions of average good farming is subject to harmful sheet v;ashing or gullying, destroying the natural fertility of the soil. Erosion in this group can be controlled well enough by special rotations or terraces to permit a more or less permanent agriculture, Negligible erosion — This group includes the gently undulating to level soils which do not erode under conditions of average good farming. Some types in this gro-op may show some erosion on continued cultivation with poor rotations, — Department of Agronomy, University of Illinois 13.

This group includes the rough, broken, hilly land with slopes of such a nature that the land is not well adapted for cultivation or pasture. These slopes would produce but little pasture, and if the land were to be cultivated, would erode badly even with the best of care. Serious erosion — Land subject to serious erosion but suited for special types of agri- culture. This group includes the rolling hilly land which is well adapted for pasture, orchard, or some vegetable crops, but which has slopes too steep to permit continued cultivation, except in some instances where terracing might permit some cultivation. Harmful erosion — This group includes the undulating or rolling crop land which under conditions of average good farming is suDject to harmful sheet washing or gullying, destroying the natural fertility of the soil. Erosion in this group can be controlled well enough by special rotations or terraces to permit a more or less permanent agi'iculture. Negligible erosion — This group includes the gently undulating to level soils which do not erode under, conditions of average good farming.

This group includes the rough, broken, hilly land with slopes of such a nature that the land is not well air.pted for cultivation or pasture. These slopes v/ould produce but little pasture, and if the land v/ere to be cultivated, would erode badly even with the best of care. Serious erosion — Land subject to serious erosion but suited for special types of agri- culture. This group includes the rolling hilly land which is well adapted for pasture, orchard, or some vegetable crops, but v;hich has slopes too steep to permit continued cultivation, except in some instances where terracing might permit some cultivation. Harmful erosion — This group includes the undulating or rolling crop land which under conditions of average good farming is subject to harmful sheet washing or gullying, destroying the natural fertility of the soil. Erosion in this group can be controlled well enough by special rotations or terraces to permit a more or less permanent agriculture. Negligible erosion — This group includes the gently undulating to level soils which do not erode under conditions of average good farming. Some types in this group may show some erosion on continued cultivation with poor rotations. — Depai^tment of Agronomy, University of Illinois 14.
