In 1946 we tested 253 samples which showed the same average requirement. This testing is just another routine office task which is increasing in proportion, but we think it is worth while and have now added equipment for making tests for phosphate re quirements. Ottaway is in charge of soil testing and, since he must spend considerable time in the field, a period of several days may elapse between time of receiving samples and date of test. Samples should be dried before bringing them to the office. Otherwise considerable additional time will be lost in the process of drying and we have very limited labora tory facilities for this purprose. After a field has been plowed, disked, and harrowed several years, there will be little acidity! variation in the first eight or] ten incites of soil.
