Xo. 1 was a sample of sandy soil, collected from the farm Hartebee6t- 

 laagte, which adjoins the railway line. It was intended to plant several 

 hundreds of fruit and ornamental trees on this soil. The sample was 

 taken about two feet below the surface, and was stated to overlie a granite 

 formation. This formation is, in fact, exposed along the river beds of the 

 Molopo and Maratsani. 



No. 2 was taken, at a point 25 miles north-east of Maribogo Railway 

 Station, from lands which it had been proposed to bring under irrigation 

 and utilise for the growing of lucerne. 



According to the following analytical figures, both the abov$ soils are 

 very poor in all plant food:

These poor soils may be considered as representative of the large area 

 of surface sands and quartzites that stretches westwards from Maf eking for 

 very many miles.
