Myatt fine sandy loam. — Gray sticky fine sand to a depth of 10 

 inches. Subsoil is a drab or gray sandy clay of a tough consistency, 

 usually containing a large percentage of iron concretions. The 

 drab clay is mottled with iron stains. Occurs on lower hillsides 

 and low-lying bottoms. The latter areas are subject to frequent 

 overflow, and drainage is poor. Ver}- little of this soil has been 

 encountered under cultivation. The natural growth is gum, 

 cypress, and ouk, the latter making some ver\' fine timber. The 

 crop yields are only moderate, although with ])roper drainage 

 and good treatment it is believed this soil could be brought to a 

 good state of productiveness.
