AVERAGE CHEMICAL ANALYSIS OF GRANVILLE COARSE SANDY LOAM. 



GRANVILLE FINE SANDY LOAM. 



The surface soil of this type, to a depth of about 4 to 6 inches, con- 

 sists of a yellowish-gray, fine to medium sandy loam of rather porous 

 structure. Beneath the surface material occurs a friable, fine to medium 

 yellow sandy clay, sometimes mottled with gray, and grading at about 

 20 to 30 inches into a mottled sandy clay, in which yellow and bright 

 red are the most pronounced colors. A substratum of Indian red or 

 purplish clay is usually encountered at from 3 to 4 feet below the sur- 

 face. This is particularly noticeable in road cuts near the_ streams. 

 This type has been mapped in Richmond and Wake counties. The 

 principal crops grown are coi'n, cotton, oats, in Richmond County, while 

 tobacco is grown with a fair degree of success in Wake County.
