The mixed swamp type is foimd on the lowlands bordering streams 

 and lakes. While frequent throughout the Trent watershed, it is 

 most abimdant in the two southern tiers of townships. In the northern 

 townships, it is replaced by coniferous swamps. As a rule, black 

 ash and cedar comprise three-fourths of the stand, and it is from such 

 swamps that large quantities of cedar poles are taken. When these 

 swamps are cleared and drained they make excellent farm soils, in fact, 

 in some townships the only good farms are on such soils. 



Sample plots totaUing an acre were made in the mixed swamp in various places 

 in the township of WoUaston, and the results are shown in the table below.
