TOXAWAY LOAM. 



The surface soil of the Toxaway loam consists of a dark gray to 

 black mellow loam or silty loam 8 to 15 inches deep. The darker 

 areas contain a larger amount of organic matter. In local spots a 

 dark brown loam or silty loam or very fine micaceous sandy loam is 

 found. 



The subsoil varies from a dark brown or yellowish silty loam to 

 clay. In some places the silty material grades into a yellow or white 

 clay locally called "pipe clay." Occasionally at 30 to 36 inches a 

 highly micaceous fine sandy loam is encountered.

TOXAWAY FINE SANDY LOAM. 



The surface soil of typical areas of this type consists of a light to 

 dark brown mellow fine sandy loam to a depth of 8 to 12 inches. 

 Scattered throughout the soil are small areas or narrow bands of fine 

 loamy sand, and also a few spots of gravelly sand, especially the 

 latter on the smaller streams. 



The subsoil is a yellowish brown fine sandy loam or fine micaceous 

 sand to a depth of 36 inches or more. In some of the areas bordering 

 the streams considerable river gravel is found. Both the soil and 

 subsoil contain fine scales of mica. 



The Toxaway soils are mellow and easily tilled and on account of 

 their position improved labor-saving machinery can be used ad- 

 vantageously.
