That the land is, for the most part, better suited to forest production than to agri- cultural use is evidenced by the once cultivated lands which have now come up to forests of second-growth spruce and pine. Where repeated fires have not kept back the young growth these give good promise for the future. Thousands of acres of once cleared land have been abandoned throughout the White Mountains, and a smaller area of land is now farmed than fifty years ago. Only along the intervales and valley b...ottoms is good farming land found. The farm land in the Saco drainage basin, which contains the largest area of cultivated land in the White Mountain region proper, lies chiefly in the eastern and southern portions. The soil is sandy and poor, and except right along the streams the farming is not good. The principal crops are clover and timothy hay, oats, rye, wheat, corn ami potatoes, peas and beans. There are a few orchards, usually overgrown and neglected. North of the White Mountains proper practically no land has been cleared for agricultural purposes, and in the greater part of this coun- try-there are no settlements of any kind save the logging camps and an occasional hunter's cabin or summer hotel or camp.
