  • The "Palouse Soil" Problem with an Account of Elephant Remains in Wind-Borne Soil on the Columbia Plateau of Washington
    THE "PALOUSE SOIL" PROBLEM WITH AN ACCOUNT OF ELEPHANT REMAINS IN WIND-BORNE SOIL ON THE COLUMBIA PLATEAU OF WASHINGTON By KIRK BRYAN INTRODUCTION Wheat is the great crop of eastern Washington. Grown on an extensive scale with all the ingenuity of modern labor-saving devices, it forms the basis for the stable prosperity of the " Inland Empire " which has its commercial center at Spokane. Deep, rich soil is the controlling factor in the growth of wheat in this area, for the rain­ fall is light, though advantageously concentrated in the winter sea­ son. The system of summer fallow is necessary to conserve the mois­ ture of one season into the next, but thereby one-half the land lies plowed and idle. The wheat region, therefore, is a checkerboard of bare brown rectangles of plowed land alternating with rectangles of wheat that are green, gold, or buff according to the season. The great Columbia Plateau, underlain except in a few small areas by basalt flows several hundred feet thick, has nearly every­ where a mantle of so-called soil, deep and retentive of moisture, the basis of this great wheat growing industry. This " soil" * is a fine­ grained mass that is intimately dissected into hills and valleys. (PI. 4, A and B.) The little valleys are usually cut to or just below the level of the underlying basalt, so that the height of the hills, from 100 to 150 feet, measures the thickness of this " soil." This material is locally known as " Palouse soil," from the rich wheat-growing area along Palouse Kiver south of Spokane, which is popularly known as the " Palouse country." The Bureau of Soils, as shown in the summary of the history of the subject, on pages 22-26, recognizes in the region a number of soil series, only, one of which bears the name Palouse.
