THE LAND AND ITS PRODUCTS.
A classification of the soils of Mississippi was made and publisl several years ago by the U. S. Depart, of Agriculture. The fifth snbdivisi in the classification includes the three Coast counties, which are in the In leaf piue region of the State. As is the case everywhere, the soils differ fertility: some are fairly fertile, others are very thin and unproductive: i or nearly all, mav be rendered highly productive. In some localities a d< strata of tenacious clay underlies the soil. Analyses made by the I)epa ment of Agriculture of both soils and subsoils, while showing that they i below the average in the absolute amount of nutritive ingred^ ‘s ci tained in them, point out the proper and natural way to imprd. the The soil is friable, easily worked and responds quickly and generously good cultivation, and the judicious use of manures, natural and artifici Nutritive manures in connection with deep plowing and subsoiling in on not only to increase the retentive qualities of the surface soil, but also make the subsoil accessible to the roots of plants, diminishing the liabil to injury b.v drouth. Without deep plowing the fertilizer will, to a gn extent, be carried beyond the reach of plants.
