Geologically, the Division of Worcester is even more varied than that 

 of Robertson ; rocks of the Malme&bury, Table Mountain, Bokkeveld, Wit- 

 teberg, Dwyka, and Ecca series, as well as the surface deposits of limestone 

 and Enon conglomerate, all find a place within the area of the division. 

 With such a variety of rocks it is usual to find, not only soils of varied 

 chemical composition, but also, in general, soils of considerable fertility, 

 and this anticipation is borne out by the analyses tabulated below. 



Proceeding from Cape Town by rail to the Hex River valley, five 

 samples typical of soil under cultivation were collected. From Vendutie 

 Kraal, the farm of Mr. W. Gie, two samples were taken No. 22, an 

 orchard soil, under cultivation, which had been slightly manured; and No. 

 23, a virgin sandy clay soil, taken from lands further up the river. Mr. 

 Gie stated that he had used several fertilisers, and found that super- 

 phosphates gave the best results. No. 23, it will be observed, is very 

 deficient in phosphoric oxide. 



The next two samples were taken on the farm Keurbosch Kloof : No. 

 26, a virgin sandy clay, resembling No. 22, and No. 25, a soil of rather 

 more clayey nature ; this latter soil was, in appearance, similar to larger 

 patches in the farms in the valley, where vines were being grown, 

 but on a less shallow soil. It was apparently the larger
