Selma clay. — The soil consists of from 3 to 6 inches of heavy very 

 fine sandy loam, underlain by a stiff, mottled yellow clay. The 

 surface is generally level and the soil is poorly drained. The soil 

 ahnost invariably clods unless plowed in just the proper condition 

 of moisture. Artificial drainage is necessary before crops can be 

 grown. When properly drained and carefully cultivated the soil 

 is quite productive, producing from 1 to 2 tons of hay, 20 to 60 

 bushels of corn, and a bale of cotton per acre.
