SOIL SUUVEY OF OUTAGAMIE COUNTY. 
total area was 4,138 acres. Commercially potatoes are confined 
more extensively to the sandy soils of the northwestern portion 
of the county. They are .also grown to a considerable extent 
on such soils as the Superior fine sandy loam, rolling phase, 
which is very well suited to this crop. 
There are a number of special crops which are grown to 
some extent in this county. The most important of these crops 
is cabbage, grown most extensively in the vicinity of Shiocton. 
In this region cabbage is grown chiefly on the alluvial soils. The 
-total acreage amounted to 2,550 acres, according to the county 
report of 1917, with an average yield of 9.8 tons per acre, or a 
total production of nearly 25,000 tons. 
Onions and sugar beets are also grown to a limited extent. 
Some trucking is carried on in the vicinity of nearly all the 
towns, especially in the vicinity of Appleton and Kaukauna, al¬ 
though the soils in that portion of the county are not particu¬ 
larly well suited to this industry. These truck crops consist of 
cabbage, lettuce, radishes, onions, strawberries, and other vege¬ 
tables and small fruits. 
The following table shows the acreage and production of the 
important farm crops in Outagamie County.
