Perth silt loam Smithfield silt loam Tavistock fine sandy loam Tavistock silt loam Tuscola fine sandy loam Tuscola silt loam. These soils are well suited for all of the crops generally grown in the county. They can be tilled regularly without great risk of erosion. Fertilizer should be applied regularly to maintain soil fertility. The amounts and analyses of fertilizers needed should be determined by soil tests. Class 2 Subclass 2e The soils in this subclass are deep, well drained, moderately rolling fme sandy loams, loams and silt loams. The soils have good structure and are permeable to water and air. They have a moderate capacity to hold soil moisture and have a medium supply of plant nutrients. The soils are: Brantford silt loam, 6 to 9% slopes Bennington fine sandy loam, 6 to 9% slopes Bennington silt loam, 6 to 9% slopes Bondhead loam, 6 to 9% slopes &ant fine sandy loam, 6 to 9% slopes Harriston loam, 6 to 9% slopes Harriston silt loam, 6 to 9% slopes Guelph loam, 6 to 9% slopes Huron loam, 6 to 9% slopes Huron silt loam, 6 to 9% slopes. These soils are suitable for almost all general farm crops and pasture. They are susceptible to erosion which can be controlled by strip crops or growing crops which provide adequate cover. Subclass 2s Subclass 2s consists of gently undulating, well drained soils having sandy surface layers or gravelly materials at depths of two or three feet. These soils have a low moisture holding capacity and a medium to low natural fertility. The soils are: Burford loam Bookton sandy loam Caledon sandy loam Caledon fine sandy loam Dundonald sandy loam Fox sandy loam. Although these soils are suitable for general farm crops, they become dry during the latter part of the growing season and irrigation is required to maintain adequate crop yields. Their organic matter content is low and applications of barnyard manure or the use of green manure crops are required to maintain soil structure. Fertilizers should be applied regularly in amounts determined by soil tests. 50
