For example, corn yieldshave been increased from less than five bvishels per acre to fifty-two bushels, and oat yields ashigh as seventy-two bushels per acre have been obtained on this soil, which contitutes forty-three per cent of the States area. Volusia soil ranks next to Dekalb in area, extending through the northern tier counties andincluding per cent of the states oil area.
