the different soils with reference IL
roads, watercourses, schoolhouses, and
other landmarks, so that the farmer, by
consulting the map, can determine the
general character OF soil on his own prop
erty.
During the past year field work for
the study of the trucking soils in GER
tain typical areas in New Jersey was
completed and similar work was inaugu.
rated in the vicinity of Norfolk, Va.
The work of classifying the lands Of
the national forests was in progress in
each of the six western forest districts
during the year, Work was done in
eight states, about 20 projects and a
great number of separate homestead APP
plicatons being examined, mapped, and
passed upon in cooperation with the
forest service.
The bureau of soils is now cooperating
with 10 states and there are six addi-
tional states in which cooperation is
planned for 1918, final arrangements in
each case being contingent upon appro.
priation by the state legislature of funds
to enable the state institution to CO.
operate.

Their in detail or reconnaissance surveys,
by the bureau of soils of the department,
according to the report of the chief OF
that bureau, just issued. OF this total,
24,749440 acres, or 1851 square miles,

detail during the past year. In addition,
reconnaissance surveys were made OF o.
333, 100 acres in California and Wiscon-
sin. Several areas have now been sur
veyed in each of the 4s states and one
survey extending across the island has
been completed in Porto Rico.
The soil surveys have for one purpose
the study of the relation of soils to
crops. The investigators study the phys
ical and chemical nature of soils, sam
pies of which are taken throughout the
areas being surveyed, and at the same
time gather from all available sources,
and particularly from farmers, the kinds
of crops and crop yields on the different
soil types identical and mapped. The

A VERMONT CAMPAIGN.
For the League to Enforce Peace to Be
Conducted

The Vermont branch OF the League to
Enforce Peace, under the leadership of
Judge Henry c. Ide of st. Johnsbury, a
newly elected member of the executive

which will have the backing of ell ma
tions with force or economic pressure,
if necessary
1t is understood that the United States
could not take part in such league
without the consent of the American
people At the present time there are
state branches in A of the as states OF
the union. The Vermont committee is
organized on the same plan as commit
tees in these other states.
Mr.. John c.. Burg, district secretary
for New England was present at the
Montpelier meeting, which was most
interesting and enthusiastic one, and
suggested to the Vermont committee a
program for an educational campaign to
be conducted throughout the state dur
ing the next few months to make known
the objects of the League to Enforce
Peace to the people of Vermont.
Mr.. Burg stated the leagues platform
briefly, as follows: A league of nations

national military force against an ag-
gressor who refuses to arbitrate, az
