Excerpt from Boone County
To His Excellency, Hon. Henry D. Hatfield, Governor of West Virginia, and President of the West Virginia Geological Survey Commission:
Sir:
I have the honor to transmit herewith the Detailed Report, and Soil, Topographic and Geologic Maps covering the County of Boone. The Report and Geologic Map were prepared by Assistant C. E. Krebs and D. D. Teets, Jr., his Field Assistant, while the Soil Report and Map were prepared and published by the Bureau of Soils of the U. S. Department of Agriculture in cooperation with the West Virginia Geological Survey, all the field work having been done by W. J. Latimer, U. S. soil expert, who has been engaged in the study of the soils of our State for several years. This Boone County Soil Report marks a change in the plan of publication over that heretofore adopted; viz, that instead of republishing each Soil Report in the volume devoted to the economic and geologic features of each county, an edition of 2,500 copies of each Soil Report to be hereafter issued in cooperation with the U. S. Department of Agriculture will be purchased direct from the Public Printer of the United States and distributed along with the corresponding Detailed County Reports of our Survey. This method, which was first adopted for Boone and the Logan-Mingo Reports, will effect a saving in expenditure of $100 to $200 for each Soil Report and in addition will give the reader a copy of the original Soil Reports and accompanying maps of the several counties just as they were published by the U. S. Department of Agriculture.
