Due to the large number of soil series found in the United States, the Bureau of Soils has seen fit to confine the work of the inspectors to certain states, or soil regions. In this way the inspector soon becomes familiar with the formations and the various soil series within his territory and is able thereby to make uniform classifications. Whereas, if he should be sent from one section of the country to another where the soils were entirely different he would have difficulty in making the proper classifications.
