DURHAM FINE SANDY LOAM. 



The surface soil of this type consists of a gi'ay to yellowish-gray fine 

 sandy loam, varying in depth from about 8 to 12 inches. The subsoil 

 is a yellow, friable, clay or fi:ne, sandy clay, which shows mottlings of 

 red in the lower portion of the 3-foot section on the better drained areas, 

 and gray mottlings in the poorly drained situations. This type has a 

 very small development, and has been mapped only in Granville county. 

 The soil is better suited to general farm crops, and is a stronger soil 

 than the coarse or medium sandy loam, but not so well adapted to bright 

 tobacco. It is used for tobacco, corn, oats, wheat, clover, cowpeas, and 

 sweet potatoes.
