In all this Upper Tertiary Country there is much salt marsh and swamp land that when properly drained becomes exceedingly productive. In every portion of Tidewater along the streams are first or alluvial bottoms composed of mixed materials, the sediment of the waters. These, when above tide or where protected by embankments, have perpetual fertility. The second bottoms (a' second terrace above the waters)are called the rich lands of the country. They are composed of loams of various qualities, but all highly valuable, and the best soils are scarcely to be surpassed in the original fertility and durability under severe tillage. The subsoil is a dark red or yellow clay, the yellow becoming a chocola...
