Scattered over the surface there is a large quantity of fine slate particles and occasionally a few quartz rock. It occupies narrow ridges, knolls, and the steeper slopes adjacent to the streams. It is well drained and also droughty, due to the nearness of the underlying rock. It is liable to bake and pack and is greatly benefited by coarse manures or turning under green manuring crops. Its agricultural value is considerably lower than that of the Alamance silt Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original North Carolina.
