Dekalb Series . - The Dekalb series is derived from 

 the disintegration of sandstones and shales, from Silurian 

 to Carboniferous in age. The surface soils are gray to brown 

 in color, while the subsoils are commonly some shade of yellow. 

 The surface features consist of gently rolling table-lands, 

 hills and mountains. The stony and sandy members of this 

 series are well adapted to orchard fruits. 



Dekalb stony loam was mapped as Edgemont stony loam 

 in the earlier surveys. The soil is a gray to yellowish sandy 

 loam from 6 to 10 inches deep, grading into a subsoil of slight- 

 ly heavier texture and yellower color. In some cases the sub- 

 soil approaches a true clay. Both soil and subsoil contain 

 a great quantity of sandstone, conglomerate and sandy cal- 

 careous shale fragments. The topography is rough and broken. 

 The distribution of this soil type in the areas surveyed is 

 given below.
