OF soils and the soils department of
the agricultural college experiment
station.
Detailed surveys have been made
OF the soils OF Yamhill. Washington,

revealed TO Their owners ~ 2.767. 400
acres. More than one-fourth the to-
tai tillablo area of the state has been
given complete. detailed soil surveys.
IL was these surveys that showed the
lack OF adequate suifur OF southern
Oregon soils. when this lack was
disclosed and reported by the college
station chemists. experiments were
instituted by the state college and
federal extension specialists 10 as
certain the most feasible means OF
supplying sulfur. ta.
As a result OF these discoveries
suifar was used on Is.t00 acres OF
alfalfa In 1919 increasing the crop
by one ton per acre. Al prevailing
prices--s20 ton--tbe gain OF
$4,000 tons was worth s32s.ooo TO
