For farming purposes most of it would be high at thirty dollars an acre.

Much of it is so broken by steep hills and deep ravines as scarcely to be tillable at all.

Those tracts which are cultivated are very susceptible to erosion.
Deep gullies are quickly worn on the hillsides and slopes.

At one time such a gully on Union Farm extended almost completely across a large field and was deep enough to hide a horse, but Washington filled it up with trees, stumps, stones, old rails, brush and dirt, so that scarcely a trace of it was left.

In places one comes upon old fields that have been allowed to revert to broom sedge, scrub oak and scrub pine.
