THIS is an attempt to discuss briefly the relationship of soil science to land-use planning as it is being developed, or as it might be developed, (a) within our Society, (b) within our agricultural institutions and, most important of all, (c) out on the land itself. The essence of this discussion, peculiarly enough, will take the form of a series of entirely friendly questions to which I sincerely trust no one will take any exception whatsoever. They are raised only with the thought of helping us orient and reestablish ourselves in the rather intricate and confused planning maze into which we seem to have fallen and with no thought whatsoever of disparaging the great amount of excellent soils work that has been done in the past.
