Description
Excerpt from History of Michigan: From Its Earliest Colonization to the Present Time
There are various other Species of soil which constitute a beautiful variety, and which will be described in their proper order. The soil which is heavily timbered is generally composed of a deep vegetable mould, sometimes mingled with clay, and produces a dense and luxuriant vegeta tion. Compared with the other sections of the state, it is gloomy, being generally more low and level, and it is more difficult to clear from the thick and tangled mass of trees which covers it; but these disadvantages are made up by its fertility, and it yields in great abundance the grasses, oats, buckwheat, potatoes, rye, and large crops of corn. Perhaps it is not so favourable to wheat, being damp, from the fact that it is shut out from the sun, and also cold in its nature.
