SOIL EXPERT HAS
PRAISE FOR MARL

Geo. +. Jordan of Chicago, with the
Soil Improvement Com mittee, was 10
the county last week looking over the
crop situation and investigating the mari
deposits and plant of Chase Bros at
Lawrence. He was much impressed
with the results which have been OBJ
tanned uniformly by the users of mari.
Practically all of the farms ia this Sec
ton of the state have plsts of sour soil
on them, and 10 many localities the soil
Of the entire farm is sour or acid. There
is but one way to correct this acidity,
and that is by the use of LINE. He does
not advise the use of burnt lime because
of the caustic action of the lime on the
supply Of organic matter or humus
which is too low IN most of the soils, as
pecially sand. Mari being so abundant
and cheap, and so much more quickly
available TO the soil and plants, many
farmers are using it in preference t
another form. Besides correcting the
acid conditions, it puts both sands anC
clays in better working order aud is
stimulaut to the liberation of plantfood
1t was Mr.. Jordan's opinion that mar
will come into use quite generally il
n the next few years, and new indus
try will be Hourishing. 1t Is "A produc
too little appreciated by Michigan far

diers since the close of the Civil War.
