SOLOGNE (Secalaunia from Lat. secale, rye)

This article appears in Volume V25, Page 362 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SIV-SOU
SOLOGNE (Secalaunia from Lat. secale, rye) , a region of north-central
France
  extending over portions of the department of Loiret, Loir-et-Cher and Cher. Its area is about 'Soo sq. m., and its boundaries are, on the N. the river Loire, on the S. the Cher, on the E. the districts of Sancerre and
Berry
 . The Sologne is watered by the Cosson and the Beuvron, tributaries of the Loire, and the Sauldre, an affluent of the Cher, all three having a west-
south
 -westerly direction. The pools and marshes which are characteristic of the region are due to the impermeabilityof its soil, which is a mixture of
sand
  and clay. The consequent unhealthiness of the climate has been greatly mitigated since the
middle
  of the 19th
century
 , when
Napoleon
  III. led the way in the reclamation of swamps, the planting of pines and other trees and other improvements. Arable farming and stock-raising are fairly flourishing in the Sologne, but there is little manufacturing activity, the
cloth
  manufacture of Romorantin being the
chief
  industry.
Game
  is abundant, and the region owes much of its revived prosperity to the creation of large sporting estates.
