<br />a. Soils are gritty loams,to sandy loams, dark colored,•with a
<br />depth of top soil holding `to about 7 inches. The subsoil is
<br />inclined to be..hard and slowly permeable when dry. A strong
<br />.lime zone (very mature and developed) is present .at .about
<br />27 inches on gentle slopes. Some soils have a tendency to
<br />form crusts which restrict infiltration and tend;tto,create
<br />droughty conditions, thus inhibiting plant growth:.n;;,.a
