Soil. - . 



In the township of Colenso on the rolling land the soil is for the most part a 

 white clay loam. This soil is very similar to that of the township of Wabigoon to 

 the west and Mutrie to the south, and has been shown to be, with proper cultivation, 

 a good class of agricultural land. 



The soil in the valleys and on the level ground is mostly a white soft clay 

 covered with muck 4 in. to 6 in. in depth. 



Along Colenso creek there is a good deal of level and low rolling land of a 

 good quality of clay and clay loam. In places along this creek there is a con- 

 siderable amount of good hay land 6 ft. to 8 ft. above the creek. 



Along the Wabigoon river there is a considerable amount of marsh on some of 

 which there is a considerable amount of hay growing. But for the most part those 

 marshes are useless with the present water level of the Wabigoon river.
