cultivation, the type being regard-
ed as one of the most valuable soils
in the county for general farming.
All of the farm land is highly im-
proved and very productive. The
soil does not clod badly and can be
maintained in good tilth with a
reasonable expenditure of time and
labor. Corn does particularly well,
yields of as much as 130 bushels
per acre having beeen reported.
Wheat averages about 28 bushels.
The Pennsylvania Seedleaf variety
of tobacco does best, yielding when
fertilized from 1,300 to 2,500
pounds. Potatoes, however, have
supplemented tobacco to a consider-
able extent on this soil as a money
crop. They yield from 90 to 200
bushels. Wheat, tobacco and po-
tatoes are the principal money
crops, the other grain and forage
crops being fed on the farms. All
the straw is returned to the soil.

The Manor soils occupy a large

cultivated with little difficulty and |
is considered one of the most pro- |
ductive soils in the county for |
general farm crops. There is little
waste land, and this fact, together
with the ease of cultivation, makes
this type particularly desirable. |
Corn yields of as high as 125|
bushels per acre occasionally are |
|
reported and as much as 40 bushels
of wheat per acre has been pro-|
duced. Clover does well. Some of
the most productive tobacco farms
also are situated on this soil
Peaches give heavy yields of fruit |
of good quality, and, if the soil is
well inoculated, alfalfa should prove
profitable.
The Berks soils are found in the
northern part of the county border- |
ing the limestone valleys. The shale
loam is utilized almost entirely for
general farming, though dairying is
sometimes an important adjunct.
The average yields of the staple
crops are considerably lower than
on the adjoining
soils. In cultivating
this type, it is said, the furrows and
corn rows should follow the con-
tours of the hills when practicable
in order to check erosion. In the
arrangement of fields, sod above
and below corn fields on the slopes
would prevent erosion to a con-
siderable degree also.

published by Chas. Scribner in 1855
about sixty-one years ago, Ike
Marvel or better known in after
years as Donald G. Mitchell.
This author was one of Mr. War-
fel’s favorite, he possessed in his
collection of books and clippings
every thing that came from his pen.
About ten years before Mitchell's
death, Mr. Warfel paid the author
a visit. I remember Mr. Warfel’s
account of that visit and will just
recall one incident connected there-
with. As Mr. Warfel neared the
home of the author of “Dream
Life,” he met a man and asked to
be directed to the home of Donald
G. Mitchel, the writer. The man
stopped and hung his head for a mo-
house on the hill to the right.” How
