SOIL EROSION IN THE SOUTH. 9 localities, which will be described later, show the predominatinginfluence of some other factor. THE NATURE OF EROSION. The erosion of the soil occurs mainly in two ways which are mark-edly different (1) as sheet erosion and (2) as the gully type of erosion.In sheet erosion the water falling on the surface of the soil carries offwith it a small amount of soil material from every part of the field.In advanced stages there appear incipient gullies, parallel to eachother, known as shoestring gullies. This type of erosion is not sodestructive of the field on which it occurs as the gully type, for theremoval is more uniform and, if a field is continually cultivated thephysical evidence of erosion may be slight. A common result is theoccurrence of a rounded knoll showing a difference in the characterof the soil on the top and at the base, and often this difference extendsto a difference in productiveness, the top of the knoll being lessproductive than the base.
