7. Soil. A great part of the surface of this State is periodically overflowed by the water! of the Mississippi. From a survey, made by order of the government of the United States, in 1828, it was found that the river inundated an extent of above 5,000,000 acres, a great pro- portion of which is rendered unfit for cultivation in its present state. This immense alio* vial tract embraces soil of various descriptions, which may be arranged into four classes. The first, which is thought to be equal... to two thirds of the whole, is covered with heavy timber, and an almost impenetrable undergrowth of cane and other shrubbery. This portion is quickly drained, as the river retires into its natural channels, and has a soil of the greatest fertility. The second class consists of cypress swamps. These are basins, or depressions of the surface, from which there is no natural outlet, and being filled with water by the floods, remain covered with it until the water is evaporated or absorbed by the earth.
