Abstract
The history of the soil beneath our feet is fascinating and exciting. Yet much of the history remains unknown. The purpose of this publication is to outline the story of the soils of Ontario insofar as it is known, to give the broad description and classification of the soils and finally to show the relationship of the soil properties to the present and potential use of the soils for agriculture.
