Observations. 



This is an even heavier soil than the preceding and draining is 

 important. It is deficient in carbonate of lime, but is in better 

 heart than the previous sample. The standard of humus and ni- 

 trogen is good, and the potash and phosphoric acid satisfactory. 

 I should not expect ordinary fertilisers to pay on this soil unless 

 in a very good growing season or with irrigation. I advise ap- 

 plying lime or marl and the growing of cow-peas as the best prac- 

 tical treatment. This is good cane land, and should respond to 

 deep tillage.
