| Question: | "Our course lies along a creek. We have a very rich meadow, and it is our opinion that the accumulation of soils along the stream in the meadow should make a very excellent topdressing. This soil, you understand, accumulates there from the sediment in the water during high water. Would you advise us to use this soil for topdressing purposes?" |

| Answer/Response: | "The alluvial soil concerning which you write is usually excellent for topdressing, as it is commonly very rich. Care should be taken, however, to see that it has the proper texture. Some of the alluvial soils contain much silt, which makes them puddle and bake. The ideal soil is a loam which does not puddle or bake, and it may be necessary for you to mix more or less humus material in the meadow soil that you get along your creek." |
