To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The general field crops, which must depend upon a long-growing season and upon large yields per acre for their profitable production, are at a decided disadvantage when planted upon the Norfolk fine sand. THE NORFOLK FINE SAND. 5 The soil is usually loose and incoherent, not over well supplied with organic matter, and in almost all cases so located with regard to topography and drainage that moisture is easily drained out from both surface soil and subsoil. As a result the longer-growing field ...crops during the later part of the summer experience serious difficulty from drought, and their yields are decidedly diminished. This is markedly the case with both cotton and corn. The average yields of cotton even under fairly good farming methods rarely rise above one-half bale per acre and frequently sink below one-fourth bale. With corn the yields may be as low as 5 to 8 bushels per acre, and they rarely rise above 20 bushels. The reason is the same in both cases. There is insufficient moisture supply to maintain steady, unin- terrupted growth during the long summer period.
