5200 |a"The burn-outs are depressions in which the impervious subsoil has been exposed through removal of the natural surface soil and for this reason water which collects in these depressions is largely lost by evaporation. Where this heavy subsoil is exposed or near the surface, the productivity of the soil is low. ... With increasing areas being brought under cultivation there arose a very general demand for more information on the problems of breaking and cultivating burn-out lands. In response to this demand illustration station work was expanded in the year 1926 by acquiring the use of an unbroken quarter section on which to carry on both illustration and experimental work"--p. 3-4.
