SOIL SURVEYS

The accompanying soil survey index map shows the counties and portions of Arkansas where soil surveys have been completed by the Bureau of Soils of the U. S. Department of Agriculture.

Detailed soil surveys have been made of sixteen counties in the State and of the Fayetteville and Stuttgart areas. A general soil reconnaissance has been made of the Ozark region and that part of the State north of the Arkansas River and west of the Coastal Plain shore line.

A bulletin containing a description of all the soils of the State together with a State soil map has been issued by the Agricultural Experiment Station of the University of Arkansas and deals with the different classes of soils found in the State, their crop possibilities and fertilizer treatment. This is Bulletin No. 187, "The Soils of Arkansas," by M. Nelson. W. H. Sachs and R. H. Austin, and may be obtained on request from the Agricultural Experiment Station, Fayetteville, Ark.

*May be consulted in Library of Arkansas Geological Survey, or in public libraries.

The streams of Arkansas, as estimated by the Interior Department, may be used to generate 125,000 horse power available 90 per cent of the time, and 178,000 horse power available 50 per cent of the time.

Mr. William Crooks of the Crooks Engineering Corporation, estimates the available primary and secondary horse power of the streams which may be used to generate major power in northwest Arkansas as follows:

At the present time four hydro-electric plants are operating in the State, as follows:

[blocks in formation]

The Remmel dam is used to supplement the load requirements of the Arkansas Power & Light Company. Three 3500 KW generators are installed. This company plans to erect two more dams on the Ouachita River to operate in connection with the Remmel dam. The three dams are expected to give practically complete control of the Ouachita River and generate 62,000 primary and 100,000 secondary KW when all three are operating.

[blocks in formation]

The estimated power generated per year in Arkansas follows:

[blocks in formation]

Assuming that these four dams generate 21,000,000 KWH per year, and that the value at the switchboard is lc per KWH, the value of the electrical power generated in Arkansas during 1926 was approximately $210,000.00.
