De Kalb clay loam. — Yellowish-brown fine sandy or silty loam 10 

 to 15 inches deep, resting on a yellow clay loam subsoil. Occupies 

 valleys and valley slopes. Wash from sandstone hills. The soil 

 is locally termed "glades." The drainage is generally poor. 

 Very little of the type is under cultivation. Well-drained lields 

 produce from 30 to even 50 bushels of corn per acre. Well adapted 

 to grass, and good yields of hay are secured. Native vegetation is 

 a rank growth of sedge grasses.

Chattooga loam. — Yellowish-brown to gray sandy loam grading 

 into a loam at about 10 inches. A heavier phase of the type 

 occurs in the low-lying areas. The sand varies in texture from 

 medium to fine. The subsoil contains sufficient clay to make it a 

 heavy coherent loam. Occurs as a bottom or river terrace soil. 

 Subject to occasional overflow. Derived in part from the weather- 

 ing of shale and in part as alluvial material from the same source. 

 Fairly productive for corn.
