EMPIRE FIXE SAXD
Tho Empliu flno sand consists of
light-gray, light-brown, or rqddlsh
brown sand of medium to flno tex
ture. It 1b usually of great depth
Tho Biirfnco soil to n depth of G to 10
inches Is discolored by tho romnliiB
of vegetation, and appears slightly
heavier than tho underlying material.
It contains many small nodules or
pellets resembling flno gravel, which
liavo been formed by tho comcntlng
together of tho sand grains. Whon
exposed In deep cuts, tho vertical sur
faco nssumes a characteristic colum
nar structure, unlike tho moro recent,
typical Dunesand of tho coast. Tho
surface- soil nssumes a moderately
compact condition whon wot, though,
owing to tho lightness of tcxtiiro,
cleared areas aro subject to consider
able damago by wind erosion.
Tho principal body of this typo
forms a frlngo along tho south shore
of Coos Dny, extending from Pony
Slough to a point about three-quarters
of a mllo west of Yoknm Point,
and for a short distance up South
and Pony Sloughs. A separate body
of tho soil Is found on tho north sldo
of tho Coqulllo River, near Its mouth.
Tho topography Is undulating to
ntcop and hilly. Tho surface Is often
marked by ridges or hills 10 to 30
feet or moro In height.
Tho Empire flno sand owes Its ori
gin to nn earlier duno formntlon nenr
tho ontranco to Coos Hay. With pro
tection from subsequent oroBlon,
weathering has altered tho toxturo
and structure of tho material. It
beam a close rcscmblanco to tho re
cent Dunesand of tho coast In tho
aurfaco topography and In tho char
acter of tho sand granules. Tho ago
of tho deposit -Jo-shown by Its forested
condition. On tho bay sldo tho ma
torlal haB boon subject to consider
able erosion.
Tho vegetation consists of a donso
growth of cedar, flr, spruco, and an
undergrowth of other plant species.
Parts of tho typo aro covored with
tho blackened remains of trees and
bniBh which have been burned over
by forest fires.
Tho greater part of tho Emplro flno
-sand Is too rough for cultivation and
It 1b. hotter adapted to forestry than
for farming.
Tho soil of tho Emplro flno Bandy
loam is a brown or reddish-brown flno
sandy loam containing a consldornblo
amount of medium to coarso sand nnd
having a depth of 15 to 18 inches.
Tho subsoil Is n loose flno sand or
light lino snndy loam, which U uhu
ally distinguished by nlternato strnta
of brown nnd gray color to a dopth
of 30 Inches or moro. In certain
places tho Burfnco of tho typo lias
Tccolved a shallow deposit of loamy
material, which has boon washed In
from higher elovntlons. In tho first
matter has produced a dark discolor
ation nnd modified tho nppnrent tox
twro, tho material seeming heavier
6 to 8 Inches of tho soil tho organic
than It really Is. Scattered through
tho soil aro mnny small nodules, re
Bombllng lino gravel, which have
boon formed by tho cementing to
gether of tho sand grains by Iron
salts. This comcntlng process has
In n fow Instnnces resulted In tho
formntlon of a thin hnrdynn at n
'depth of about 9 Inches. Tho area
thus affected, however, Is of smull
extent, and mado up of small tracts
within tho larger body of tho typo.
Such tracts aro usually easily dis
tinguished by tho scrubby appearanco
of tho vegotntlou,
Tho Emplro flno sandy loam is
well dovoloped on the Constnl Plain
north and for some dlstnnco south
of tho Coqulllo river. Some small
bodies of tho typo nre found also In
tho vicinity of Port Orford and Lan
glols. Tho surface of tho typo Is
comparatively flat or slightly hndu-
lattng. Low saud ridges have boon
forced In many places by tho action
of tho wind or water nnd the surfneo
is cut by shallow stream courses,
which find their outlet In tho larger
Btreams crossing tho plain. Tho soli
material represents old beach sand
which was deposited as a marlno
lerraco forming tho narrow plain
along tho soacoaBt north of Port Or-
" ford. The texture has been somo
what modified by colluvlal and allu
vial matorial dorlved from the up
lands. In many places a finer tox
turo of the surfaco material has re
sulted from the deposition of ellt and
Sno' sand.
Only a few small areas of Empire
ne sandy loam havo been cleared

of the forest growth nnd underbrush.
Tho native vegotntlou consists of n
light growth of flr, cedar, Bpruce,
aider, with mndrona nnd other
shrubs. Ccrtnln pnrts of tho typo
were originally covered with valu
able forests of cedar, which was ex
tensively used as shipbuilding ma
torial. At present only a small
amount of tho original forest re
mains. Probably less than a half section
of this soil typo In all has been clear
ed and planted to crops. Tho Em
plro flno snndy loam Is better ndnpt-
cd to crops requiring a largo amount
of enro nnd cultivation than to gen
eral field crops. The production of
Btrnwbcrrlcs, vegetables, and bush
fruits should bo successful on areas
of tho typo that aro on too loose nnd
porous In tho subsoil. Tho unclear
ed portions of tho typo arc hold at
$G to $20 an aero.
Empire Clay Loam.
Tho Emplro clay loam conBlstB of
a light-brown clay loam, free from
gravel and extending to tho dopth of
about IB Inches, although tho depth
Is subject to considerable variation
nnd may bo 3 or moro feet. -Tho ma
terial Is usually of frlnblo Btructuro
and cnpablo of being maintained In
n favorablo condition of tilth If hand
led whon In a proper condition as
rognrds moisture It Is undorlnln
by a sandy subsoil of llght-grny or
rcddlsh-gray to light-brown color, In
which small pellets caused by co-
montlng of tho soil particles by Iron
jsnlts aro of common occurrence.
I This soil typo occurs In Bovcrnl
.scattered bodies In tho Constat Plain
,from Bnndon southward to Port Or-
fonl. The tononrnnliv Is flat to un
dulating, tho areas representing mn-
rlno terraces. Thcso roach an olcva

J occasional broad, shallow vnlloyn cut
J by tho larger streams. Thoro Is nn
abrupt, rlso of 20 or 30 feet from tle
vnlloys to tho lovol of tho torraco.
I Llko tho other members of tho
Empire series, tho Emplro clay loam
owes Its formation to tho transpor
tation, deposition, nnd mortification
of sedimentary mnterlal by waves and
shnro currents. Tho materials enmo
originally from tho rocks of tho nd
Jnccnt mountains of tho Const Rnngo,
I whonco thoy hnvo been eroded nnd
transported to tho sen by streams. In
tho caso of this typo, howover, tho
soil mntorlal Is heavier and fined
thnn tho most or tho Constnl Plain
'dcposltB, nnd tho soil has been sub
ject to grentor modification through
nddltlnn nnd ndmlxturo of material
washed from ndjacont slopes nnd do-
'posited from flood wntora of foothill
streams than tho other types of tho
Emplro series.
It Is In Its ortglnnl condition hea
vily forested, and but smnll nnd ro
latlvely unlmportnnt nreas havo as
vol boon cleared and cultivated. Fa
vorably situated bodlos will probably
bo found suited to tho production of
apples, berries, small fruits, and hay
crops.
Tho Dunesnnd consists of medium
to flno texturo buff or llght-grny
sand. It varies from less thnn 2 feet
In depth upon tho higher lands nlong
tho Immedlnto const, whoro It forms
n shallow surfaco covering, to many
feet in dopth In tho Inrger areas on
tho lowlands. Tho mnterlal Is essen
tially pure sand, free from tho finer
particles of silt nnd clay and of uni
form texture. Owing to tho continual
movement of the surfneo soil It Is
usually bare of vegetation, nnd tho
whlto, undulating surfneo presents n
striking contrast to tho thickly wood
ed slopes which border tho areas on
the landward side.
Tho Dunesand occupies a narrow
belt along tho sencoast for practical
ly the entire length of tho nrea south
of Twomllo Creek. North of Bnndon,
and botween Davidson Lake and Now
Lake, It reaches a maximum width
of one-half to three-fourths mile,
though nlong tho greater part of
tho coast south of the Coqulllo river
It forms a thin strip along tho boach
or capping tho headlands or bluffs
facing the ocean.
Northward from Coos Bay an ex
tensive area of Dunesand mcloses tho
bay on tho west side, and between
North Slough and the ocean attains a
width of 2 miles. Tho surface of tho
type hero is thrown Into low mounds
or prominent hills and ridges which
extend In a direction nearly parallel
with tho coasL During eovoro wind
storms tho eand drifts and tho form
and even the position of the ridges
undergo more or less change The

his theory will bo given n test.
