On the way from Barry dale to Montagu, No. 6, a somewhat sandy 

 soil, said to be rather poor, though fairly well suited for potatoes when 

 well manured, was taken at Tradouws Hoek. Here again chemical 



analysis confirms practical experience, for, on analysis, this soil was found 

 to be far the poorest of all the Tradouw soils examined. No. 4, a virgin 

 soil, was collected from the farm Het Goed Geloof, where the soil is rather 

 more sour than at Tradouws Hoek. 



In the following tables will be found the results obtained by analysis 

 from the several soils enumerated above :
