Synopsis
Excerpt from Illustrated Vineland
Agriculturally the subsoil is so porous that the roots of plants penetrate it deeply in search of moisture, and in droughts cultivation sets up a capillary ascent of the water and brings it to the vegetation. When lands with a clay subsoil, even where the loam is deep and rich, are parched and cracked because the rains are withheld, and the sere foliage begins to fall, this region retains its verdancy. With diligent cultivation it is a farmer's par adise in drought.
