Soil Management Group 17 



Scarboro fine sandy loam 

 Scarboro loam 



Scarboro silt loam 



These sandy soils occupy very poorly drained areas in the water- 

 deposited materials. Again, the extremely high water table is the severe 

 limiting factor for agricultural use. The soils are completely saturated 

 during most of the year, but water which stands on the surface limits any 

 agricultural activities to periods of extremely dry weather. Artificial drain- 

 age may be practical on some of these areas, depending upon ( 1 ) whether 

 a good outlet can be found, and (2) whether the cost of drainage will be 

 justified, either in increased yields or as a benefit to other areas of better 

 soils. Even with artificial drainage, the use of these areas for crop pro- 

 duction is definitely limited.
