SOILS 



Relation to Crops. New Jersey soils present great variation in texture, 

 composition, water-holding power and productivity. This fact determines 

 to a large extent the particular crops which thrive on each type. The prin- 

 cipal soil types shown on the map opposite page 10 are intended only to 

 generalize the situation. The soil map of South Jersey, page 1 2, is still too 

 small to be more than indicative of the prevailing kinds of soils found in 

 that section. Detailed soil surveys of the whole State are nearly com- 

 pleted, and maps and descriptions of several sections are already available.
