Norfolk Series. , 55 



Norfolk fine sand. — Fine, brown loamy sand, about 8 inches 

 deep, loose and friable when dry, but packing slightly when wet. 

 Subsoil is of much the same character, slightly more loamy and 

 somewhat more adhesive. Occurs as low, rolling hills and level 

 areas. Generally well drained, adapted to about the same class 

 of truck crops as the Norfolk sand, but generally somewhat more 

 productive. Produces only fair crops of corn. In Florida a fine 

 grade of wrapper tobacco is grown on this soil.

Norfolk sandy loam. — Coarse to medium yellow or gray sand, 12 

 to 20 inches deep, generally loose and incoherent, resting on a 

 yellow sandy clay. Level or gently rolling land. Soil is too light 

 for general farm crops. Corn yields on the average not over 10 

 bushels per acre. It is adapted to sweet and Irish potatoes, pea- 

 nuts, and late truck crops. In the Connecticut Valley and in 

 Florida it produces a fine cigar wrapper tobacco and in North 

 Carolina bright yellow tobacco and cotton.
