quite profitable from the first,
though during the last three
years the crops of many of the
farmers have been curtailed by
reason of the wet seasons, which
caused the crop from portion
of their lands to be small or en-
tirely destroyed. Under ordinary
conditions of season and market
the lands net their owners about
5000 an acre. Large quantities
of fertilizer are used and the
lands are cultivated carefully.
Owing to the water tables of the
soil being so near the surface
they are not, in many instances.
able to grow deep roofing crops
like cotton, corn or forage plants.
The strawberry having shallow
roots produces a crop with great
er certainty than those before
named. The rotation of crops
in this section is regarded as
necessary in keeping up the fer
tility of the land, and for the
convenience which attends the
production of a variety of crops.
1t is believed that the area of
cultivated land can not be ex-
tended farther until the main
drainage streams are opened SO
as to permit the construction of
deep farm drains upon the level
table lands. Many of the lead
ing citizens represent that as
soon as a plan of drainage has
been made they will organize
themselves under the provisions
of the State drainage law, which
it is expected will pass during
the present session and proceed
at once to construct the drains
required.
THE SOIL.
The top soil is black sandy
loan from six to ten inches
deep, lying upon a yellow clay
which contains but little sand.
The clay appears to be quite
permeable to water and also suf.
ficiently firm to maintain a per.
pendicular position where bitches
have been dug. 1t is what might
be termed a soil which drains
easily and furthermore retains
moisture to such an extent that
the farmers have but little feal
of drough. In practice they find
drains three or four feet deer
more serviceable than shallow
ones. The drains have been usec
successfully but the larger par
of drainage by open trenche!
which, when placed in the low
er parts of the land, seem t(
give fairly good drainage.
Having taken into considera
ton the general situation it il
recommended that a surve!
and plan of drainage should b.
made Of the lands which are
under cultivation and a report
and estimate of the cost Of con
structing outlet drains sufficien
to serve these lands be made t.

bOurn.
