THE BEGINNING 



With the exception of patches containing a few square feet, there is no soil on this prospective 

 farm that approaches a loam in texture. It is mostly gravel and sand. Trent Watershed, Ont. 



THE END 



One of the many abandoned farms in the Trent Watershed. The amount of human energy expended in 



attempting to make a living from such areas has been, and still is, enormous. Under proper 



schemes of development this land would be absolutely closed to settlement.
