Soil Survey of the Redding Area, California (Classic Reprint)


Book Description

Excerpt from Soil Survey of the Redding Area, California Sir: A soil survey of the Redding area, California, was instituted in the summer of 1907 at the request of the Shasta County Board of Trade for the purpose of determining the extent and varieties of the soils and the possibilities of the further agricultural development of the area. This work is a part Of the extension of the soil surveys in the Sacramento Valley called for by numerous resolutions from boards of trade of all the representative cities of the valley, the Sac ramento Valley Development Association, California Water and Forest Association, etc. Which have been indorsed by Hon. George C. Perkins and Hon. F. P. Flint. I have the honor to transmit herewith the report and map covering these investigations and to recommend their publication as advance sheets of the Field Operations of the Bureau of Soils for 1907, as provided by law.

World Development Report 2009


Book Description

Rising densities of human settlements, migration and transport to reduce distances to market, and specialization and trade facilitated by fewer international divisions are central to economic development. The transformations along these three dimensions density, distance, and division are most noticeable in North America, Western Europe, and Japan, but countries in Asia and Eastern Europe are changing in ways similar in scope and speed. 'World Development Report 2009: Reshaping Economic Geography' concludes that these spatial transformations are essential, and should be encouraged. The conclusion is not without controversy. Slum-dwellers now number a billion, but the rush to cities continues. Globalization is believed to benefit many, but not the billion people living in lagging areas of developing nations. High poverty and mortality persist among the world's 'bottom billion', while others grow wealthier and live longer lives. Concern for these three billion often comes with the prescription that growth must be made spatially balanced. The WDR has a different message: economic growth is seldom balanced, and efforts to spread it out prematurely will jeopardize progress. The Report: documents how production becomes more concentrated spatially as economies grow. proposes economic integration as the principle for promoting successful spatial transformations. revisits the debates on urbanization, territorial development, and regional integration and shows how today's developers can reshape economic geography.




Soil Survey of the Red Bluff Area, California, 1912 (Classic Reprint)


Book Description

Excerpt from Soil Survey of the Red Bluff Area, California, 1912 Sir: In continuation of soil-survey work in the great interior val ley of California a survey was made of the Red Bluff area during 1910. This area covers a part of Tehama and Butte Counties. This is a region of varied soils. Lide areas, underlain by hardpan, will never be of much value for agriculture. These areas will be used, as they are at present, for grazing. On the other hand, there are a number of fertile types at present used for dry farming and, to a relatively limited extent, for crops under irrigation. The develop ment of the region agriculturally depends upon the installation Of comprehensive irrigation works. Sufficient water to irrigate all Of the better soils now passes down the streams during the flood period. It would be an engineering problem of great magnitude to store these flood waters in reservoirs along the upper courses Of the rivers and to lead them thence by canals to the different parts Of the area. The question of undertaking such a. Project, or projects, is under consideration, and preliminary surveys show it to be feasible. The outlining of the soils in the area and the valuation of the different types for the many special crops hat may be grown in this region where sufficient water is obtainable should be of value as a basis for estimating the capital that may be safely invested in irrigation work.
