Dauphin sandy loam. — Sandy shale loam, 6 to 15 inches deep, 

 underlain by the same material slightly heavier. It is derived 

 from a formation consisting of alternate beds, each 6 inches or 

 more in thickness, of sandstone and shale. It is easily tilled, 

 and is adapted to a wide range of crops, ac well as possessing 

 qualities suited for certain kinds of trucking and the growing of 

 wrapper-leaf tobacco.

Cumberland loam. — A brown, rather mellow loam, 6 to 15 inches 

 in depth, underlain by a brown to reddish-brown silty clay subsoil. 

 Some rounded gravel occurs in both soil and subsoil. Occupies 

 second bottoms along the Cumberland River, occurring mainly 

 in the horseshoe bends. The surface is generally rolling and the 

 drainage is excellent, the soil retaining enough moisture to resist 

 to a marked extent the effects of drought. An older sedimentary 

 soil made up of materials washed from the adjacent uplands inter- 

 mingled with materials brought by the river from greater dis- 

 tance. The type has a wide crop adaptation. It produces well 

 the general farm crops, while also used for truck crops and small 

 and orchard fruits. Corn yields from 20 to 40 bushels, wheat 

 15 to 25 bushels, and hay 1 to H tons per acre.
