Thus there arises this question: In a given agricultural area, do the different kinds of soils which farmers recognize, particularly because of differences in handling and yielding qualities, correspond to types when they are classified according to natural and typical characteristics? The question may be stated this way: Do practical farmers recognize distinguishing differences' in soils that are classified in soil
