Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Guide to the Experimental Plots, 1913
It is fairly uniform in the different fields, and consists essentially of a heavy loam containing little coarse sand or grit, but a considerable amount of fine sand and silt, and a large body of clay. In consequence, the soil has to be worked with care, becoming very sticky and drying to im practicable clods if moved when wet. It runs together if heavy rain falls after a tilth has been established, and then dries with a hard, unkindly surface, these difficulties being much exaggerated on the plots which have been farmed for a long time without any supply of organic matter in the manures.
