Secure small sample Of soil free
from roots and grass and put it in a
glass. Insert two strips Of blue litmus
paper in the soil so that they are half
covered. Then add pure water very
carefully until the soil ia thoroughly
saturated After the test has stood
for several minutes the paper is re-
moved aud rinsed thoroughly. If that
portion of it which was in contact with
the soil has become red. then the soil
Is acid and would be benefited by linn
ing The litmus paper may be bought
