AVERAGE CHEMICAL ANALYSIS OF CECIL STONY SANDY LOAM. 



CECIL GRAVELLY LOAM. 



The Cecil Gravelly Loam to a depth of about 4 to 10 inches consists 

 of a gray to reddish-brown loam, or fine sandy loam, containing from 

 about 15 to 40 per cent of red, coarse, sand and fine, angular quartz 

 gravel, locally termed ''millstone grit land." The subsoil is a red, stiS, 

 clay, carrying some angular quartz gravel. This is a small type and 

 has only been mapped in Richmond County, but other areas will prob- 

 ably be found. It is used for the growing of cotton, corn, oats, and 

 cowpeas. All crops, especially cotton, fruit well. 



AVERAGE CHEMICAL ANALYSIS OF CECIL GRAVELLY LOAM. 



CECIL STONY LOAM. 



The surface soil of this type consists of yellowish-gray, gray, or brown 

 loam or silt loam, having a depth of about 6 to 8 inches, and containing 

 from about 20 to 50 per cent of rock fragments, usually quartz. Occa- 

 sionally' large bowlders of granite are seen. The subsoil is a red silty 

 clay, or clay with a noticeable content of fine sand particles. Only 

 small bodies of this soil have been mapped, and where the content of 

 stone is small, corn and a few other crops can be grown. This type 

 should be used for pasturage land or forestry.
