DUNKIRK BLACK CLAY LOAM. 
The Dunkirk black clay loam is a minor type being 
conrined to a very small area. It is a black clay loam 
of rather light texture underlain at denths of six to ten 
inches by a yellow to dark orown clay subsoil which may be 
mottled. This soil has been formed iargely ov small ponds 
in the surfaee of the Dunkirk clay becoming filled with 
organic matter. this is an a@arly soil and produces large 
crops of all kinds. Corn grows excellently. In dry seasons 
it dries out rather quickly, and for this reason it does 
not hold sod well. It is very rich and if no crop is present 
produces a luxuriant growth of weeds.
