<ccurate Tests For AeIdIty OF Soil At
maryland Week" Exhibition
No Charge VIII Be Made
For The Tests.

College Park, Nov. 9.-One OF the IN
teresting booths that the farmers OF
this State may very prohtably Visit
while at the Maryland Week" Exhi-
bition at Baltimore, November IA to
1S, Is that Of the Department of Soils,
MARYLAND Agricultural Experiment Sta
ton. There the farmers of the State
may have an acidity test made Of
their soils free Of charge. DR.. A. G.
Mccall, head Of the Soils Department
of the Experiment Station, has ex'
tended very cordial invitation to the
farmers to bring with them soil sam
pies from fields which they suspect
are acid. He will be prepared to make
a test of their samples and ADVISE
them as to the needs Of their soil with
regard to lime.
4 Acidity in the soil Is undesirable for
several reasons, the most important
OF which is the injurious effect upon
alfalfa, clovers and other legumes. The
presence of acid in the soil also pre-
vents the formation of available plant
food material from the minerals and
organic matter stored in the soil and
produces conditions favorable to the
growth of certain troublesome weeds
The degree of acidity of our soil varies
widely from those which produce
crops Of clover and alfalfa that barely
pay the cost of seeding to those where
these crops are total failures.
I The Soils Department of the Expert
nent Station is now using new test
which not only detects positively the
presence of soil acidity, but gives
definite information as to the degree
sVfEacidity.
1.-The best and cheapest method OF
cnrrecting acidity in soils is by the
application of lime in some'form. Here
in Maryland we have the choice OF
burnt lime, air and water slaked lime
ground limestone and crushed oyster
shells. Burnt lime should be used very
carefully as too liberal applications OF
it are sometimes injurious by causing
extremely rapid decomposition OF or
ganic matter in the soil. Under most
conditions the safest and cheapest
form of lime to use is ground lime
stone or crushed oyster shell where
the latter is available.

Campaign Meeting Thursday.

The largest crowd to attend any
county campaign meeting was pres
ent to hear the county candidates at
the court house Thursday. The
crowd was estimated at from twelve
to fifteen hundred persons men,
women and children. The meeting
was presided over by Col. John F.
Folk, who introduced the candidates.
The audience was quite demonstra-
tive, and there were frequent out
bursts of enthusiastic applause.
Nothing new developed at the meet
ing.
After the speech-making came to a
close. the crowd assembled around a
long improvised table at the side of
the court house, where a barbecue
and picnic dinner was served. The
children, of whom a large number
were present, were served dinner in
advance, and 500 plates were pre-
pared before the crowd was invited
to the table. Many others were serv-
ed after the plates had been given
out. From one thousand to twelve
hundred people were served dinner,
it is estimated.
