18 SOILS OF THE EASTERN UNITED STATES. 



Unchecked erosion is annually decreasing the total existing area 

 of the Cecil sandy loam. This is a needless loss of productive soil 

 area. 



The Cecil sandy loam occupies the higher elevations, the rolling 

 uplands, and the crests of ridges throughout the southern Piedmont 

 section. It is well drained, is well located for residential and agricul- 

 tural purposes, and occurs in a region practically devoid of swamps. 



In addition to its general crop adaptations certain locations covered 

 by this type are also suited to commercial peach orcharding. 



Approved. 



JAMES WILSON, 



Secretary of Agriculture.
