Acid Soil Determination.

w X. Dodson. Louisiana station.1
If white clover or any Of the clovers
naturally thrive on the soil it is apt to
be an indication that the soil is not
acid. There are certain plants that are
naturally inclined to thrive on acid soil.
For instance. the presence of black
berry bushes as a natural growth would
Indicate that the soil was probably
acid. as b~lackberries thrive in acid soil.
A growth Of sorrel indicates an acid
soil. Soils that become carpeted In win
ter with a mosslike sedge are generally
acid. If cultivated lands produce good
cowpeas. clovers and legumes in gem
eral it is an indication that the soil is
not acid. A simple and fairly reliable
test that can be made is to get a piece
Of blue litmus paper and press it
against the moist soil. If in a few
minutes 1t turns red 1t indicates that
the soil is acid. This is not an abso-
lutte test. but is reliable enough for all
practical purposes. If the soil is acid
