The main crops of the district are cotton and corn, and the lamj* produce about the avermpe yields lor this section of the State when commercial fer tilisers are applied. Colleton county has never been surveyed by the Bureau of Soils, U. 8. Department of Agriculture, and no'classlflcation of the soils is to be ■ had. The soil of the greater por tion of the district, consists of a very light sandy loam underlain at varying depths by a reddish sandy 3 clay, aMth a preponderance of sand. This In general is the soil of the central and upper parts of the> dis trict. The soil of the lower portion ' is a sandy loam underlain by a red " "or yellow clay containing some sand and gravel. In parts the clay comes quite near the surface. The soil of 'the branches is in some instances composed almost entirely of sand while - Jin others the clay predomi nates. In general rhe upper part would be classed as rather sandy, and the lower part as a heavier soil, mostly clay. Rainfall. The U. S. Weather Bureac main tains a station af Walterhoro. The mean annual rainfall there is 51.23 inches, fairly well distributed over the entire year. The records show that the heaviest rainfalls occur during the mid-summer, when grow ing crops are on the land, vegeta tion abundant, and when evapora tion is greatest. All of these far* tors tend to reduce the rate of run off from the land. The least rain fall occur* during the spring and fall months. Natural Drainage. The natural drainage under pres ent conditions in this district is very poor. In fact it is the lack of nat ural drainage channels which keeps the greater part of the district wet nearly all of the year, and which „ s brought about the formation of the drainage district with a view to bettering these conditions. It has already been stated that the greater part of the district is a Rat table land into which the natural drain age channels do not penetrate. They rise at the edge of the plateau, leaving the central part without adequate drainage channels. From the map it will be seen that Xeyles Branch. Black Creek, Sandy Dam Branch, Pringle Creek and Johns Creek all rise near the ) center of the district, but they do not extend up Into the district far enough to be. Of much benefit. They serve only as fair outlets to the lands on the edges of the district, though eventually'the water from the cen tral part slowly seeps toward them. Neyles Branch, {{lack ('reek and Johns Creek all flow south or west into Croat Swamp; while Sandy Dam Branch and Pringle Crook flow sauthoast to Choosey Creek. AH «f those watercourses are at their up per ends but slight depressions in th* 1 general level of the laud, and are from 50 to 200 feet wide. They a recovered vrtt+r-- a faXrlv. thick' • ^growth of uoderiitush. These branches widen out and cut deeper channels as the outlets are ap proached. Their fall appears to !>.• ample to provide good drainage for all of the lands of the district. Improvements Required. This drainage district lies at tip* headwater of nl| of the natural drainage streams and no large chan nel* will be required to carry off the water. The degree of drain age required at this time can be ■* most economically and effectively secured by a system of small Open ditches. Those ditches should be ^ constructed in al). of the natural streams and tributaries, and should be continued ! u them far enough beyond the edge of the district to secure adequate drainage for the lands lying o n the edge of the dis trict and prevent their flooding dur Ing times of heavy rainfall. In or der to reach ^the flat central part of the district and to provide outlet for these lands, these same ditches should be extended up into the flat CLIMBED STAIRS" ON HER HANDS Too 111 to Walk UprighL Operation Advised.
