Most of this type is still covered with forest, 
only a comparatively small portion being under cultivation. 
On account of the steepness of the slope intertillage 
crops are not slanted on this soil. Oats, wheat and hay 
are , however, planted, and exeeptionally good crops are 
produced. Wheat often gives more than thirty bushels per 
acre, three tons of hay per acre are usually secured, at the 
first cutting, and very commonly meadows give two crops 
per season, the second crop of course being much lighter 
than the first. In regard to its ability to give two crops 
of hay in a season this soil closely resembles Volusia loan, 
and differs from Dunkirk clay, which soil rarely yields a 
satisfactory second crop.
