Elements of Agricultural Chemistry It is equally disadvantageous to blast a wet subsoil. Northern Nut Growers Association, Report of the Proceedings at the Fourth Annual Meeting Washington D.C. November 18 and 19, 1913 The roots do not go deep into the subsoil like those of the red or the mammoth, and therefore it is better adapted to wet land.

Special Report on Diseases of the Horse Even when manure is used liberally in a single application on a poor soil, a large amount of inert subsoil should not be thrown upon the surface. Crops and Methods for Soil Improvement If the subsoil be of clay, rock, or other impervious substances, the downward course of the water is checked, and it remains stagnant, or bursts out upon the surface in the form of springs. Farm drainage The Principles, Processes, and Effects of Draining Land with Stones, Wood, Plows, and Open Ditches, and Especially with Tiles Apple trees have done best for me on a black loam underlaid with a porous subsoil that will take the surplus water and still hold moisture in summer. The Apple Without this precaution, the subsoil, after being opened by the plough, soon sinks together, and the good effects anticipated are not realized. Elements of Agricultural Chemistry I refer to those sections where there is an impervious clay subsoil. Special Report on Diseases of the Horse The subsoil is a store of inert fertility that should not remain dormant. Crops and Methods for Soil Improvement This, however, would be useful only where, from the peculiar formation, water is pent up upon a retentive subsoil in the manner already indicated. Farm drainage The Principles, Processes, and Effects of Draining Land with Stones, Wood, Plows, and Open Ditches, and Especially with Tiles Would prefer a deep loam soil, clay subsoil, if not too close to the top, and almost level. The Apple He has made many speeches, which, homely in manner, have, nevertheless, a subsoil of strong common sense. The Journal of Negro History, Volume 5, 1920 His acute observation enables him to detect the slightest undulations of the surface, the various changes of subsoil and alterations in the character of the vegetation, that would be quite imperceptible to a stranger. Contributions to the Theory of Natural Selection A Series of Essays It rots slowly, and while lying in the bottom of the furrow it cuts off the rise of water from the subsoil which is a reservoir of moisture for use during drouth. Crops and Methods for Soil Improvement If the subsoil is of sand or gravel, or of other porous earth, that portion of the water not evaporated, passes off below by natural drainage. Farm drainage The Principles, Processes, and Effects of Draining Land with Stones, Wood, Plows, and Open Ditches, and Especially with Tiles We set them about two inches deeper than they stood in the nursery, on the solid subsoil, and pack the dirt firmly amongst the roots; lean or set the heaviest top to the southwest. The Apple Old ground must be turned up with subsoil plough, and it must be harrowed and re-harrowed, and then the crop will not be as large as that of the new ground with less culture. The Wedding Ring A Series of Discourses for Husbands and Wives and Those Contemplating Matrimony A first-class walnut orchard can only be produced upon first-class land, deep, fertile soil, a low water table, an open subsoil, with choice varieties, grafted upon the most suitable stock and then given first-class tree-care.

Crops and Methods for Soil Improvement The same men, working in a soil free from stones, and an easier subsoil, would, in the same time, open from 50 to 100 per cent. more length of ditch. Farm drainage The Principles, Processes, and Effects of Draining Land with Stones, Wood, Plows, and Open Ditches, and Especially with Tiles I prefer a loose, porous subsoil on a north slope. The Apple An attempt had been made to dig a tank in the garden, but the subsoil water proving too low, it had been abandoned, unfinished, with the excavated earth left piled up into a hillock. My Reminiscences The lower stratum of ice in this house never melts; nor, indeed, does the soil of the surrounding country, which only thaws to the depth of a few feet, the subsoil being perpetually frozen. Hudson Bay Many of the plants used in providing humus for the soil are better foragers for fertility than other plants that follow, sending their roots deeper into the subsoil or using more inert forms of fertility.
