CONGAREE LOAM. 



The surface soil of the Congaree loam is a grayish brown to a choco- 

 late brown loam or silty loam, varying in depth from 6 to 10 inches. 

 The subsoil, to a depth of 3 feet, is a light brown or chocolate loam, or 

 heavy silty loam, grading in places into a silty clay. This type in- 

 cludes spots of fine sandy loam, and frequently bodies of silt loam. In 

 general, the type is very similar to the silt loam, containing as it does an 

 exceptionally high silt content, as shown from the mechanical analysis. 

 It, like its associated types, is well adapted to corn, oats and grasses. 

 It lends itself admirably to the use of farm machinery, working up to a 

 mellow tilth.
