The next day, but irEbzdV in the village. Sultanovekoe, and decided to explore the surrounding mountains, located in the ametheater on the south-eastern side of the village. (from the top of the nearest of them, Mt. Brykova, raised to 2200 ft. above sea level, a basin was visible towards the north, consisting of large irregularities and deep gullies, between which the difference was mfram beam r. Kalausa, which dries up in its current, not only in its upper reaches, but throughout its entire course. Of the other significant ravines flowing into the Kalaus Elfva, the two belonged to the Big and Small Yankuls. Farther to the west, the city of Temnolfeskaya was visible on the horizon, from which to the east stretched a ridge of peaks of very unclear and indefinite outlines. (unaccustomed to orienting oneself in the mountainous terrain of Mfet, since your eye saw only the flat steppe space, it was difficult to immediately determine at least approximately the distance between the points prominent on the horizon and in the basin itself. Only if you consulted a map at home and asked the Mfet residents about what you saw, you will learn that all this It runs from Ev. Sultanovekiy to Stavropol, on Razetoyan 85, and belongs to the Ufdom, very sparsely populated, rented mainly by large sheep breeders “Tavrichans”, & also by peasants sowing wheat here.
Having received such a svfdfn, we decided to look at this in detail, for which in the morning of the next day we set off on a peasant submarine in a light carriage drawn by a pair of horses. First, the descent from Brykova to the Kalaus valley is made quickly and comfortably along a smooth road, bordered by thick grass of cereals and other plants, testifying to the presence of rich black soil; but as you descended into the riverbed, the road became more comfortable, as more and more potholes and potholes appeared on it, and the soil gradually turned clayey and reddish. appearance, and in some places with a penal touch. The vegetation also gradually grew and became more monotonous; everywhere predominated: arzhanets, tree, kurai, white wormwood and drumya, mostly tough and useless for livestock, herbs. All this convincingly proved that here, down in the valleys, the soil was not black earth, but clayey-salt marsh; but the common people call it “ore soil.” With further elfdovant, all over the expanse of the fishing grounds in the Fdometva there was hidden ubfditya, which not only along the lower reaches of the valleys, but also on the hills and passes, the grasses were mostly monotonous; Only occasionally do you come across a meta on which the whole plant consists of such central grasses as vaccinia, tsimoftevka, alfalfa and clover, more often, especially on the slopes of the angular
In the bast grass, among the grasses harvested under the sfno, yellow grass (bayit zegit) predominates, from which the entire field from afar has a yellow-green appearance. This plant, when the grass is removed, quickly turns black and becomes brownish-dark, as if iodinated, and therefore of little value in sales.
As for tree species, we have a clear view of the upper reaches of the Kalaus River and its tributary Nigla\nftg slfdove of natural forest. In addition, bushes are nowhere to be seen: bean or marvelous cherry, as well as such herbs that are characteristic of the steppes of Southern Russia. Obviously, the walls of Kalaus cannot be attributed to the feather-grass SOUTH-Russian steppes; they constitute a cross between the feather-grass and wormwood steppes, and the latter stands out especially prominently in the lowlands. Among the artificial plantings is a small grove of ash trees near the Ternovskaya gatehouse of the Udflny House. The trees of this grove, despite 15 years of existence, are extremely small and inconspicuous, because the grove stands on the bottom of a ravine, on saline soils. A more successful attempt at breeding should be considered a school made of fertile rocks, near the second Ternovskaya gatehouse, where three-year-old shoots gave excellent results, because the site for the school was chosen almost at the top of the pass between two rocks, at an altitude of 1000 feet. n. u. m, where black soil lies up to 3 feet deep.
