THE CECIL CLAY. 15 



The soil is well drained and well located with regard to healthful 

 surroundings, 



A large proportion of the type is occupied for farming purposes 

 and the area under cultivation may well be extended if proper pre- 

 cautions for the prevention of soil erosion are observed. 



It is well suited to support dairying and animal industry and re- 

 quires full equipment of heavy teams and tools and commodious 

 farm buildings. 



The Cecil clay is the strongest general-purpose soil in the southern 

 Piedmont section. 



Approved. 



JAMES WILSON, 



Secretary of Agriculture.
