Soil Testing

Impressed with the large number of
farmers who profted by last years soil
testing campaign, the Sod Department
of the University of Maryland Fxper:-
ment Station is planning for another
Campaign to be launched within the
next few months, probably during the
sIring blowing season when soil samp-
les will be easy to secure.
Since February 2 1920. when the
soil testing campaign was inaugurated
more than $40 farmers have sent SAM
pl,s Of soil from approximately 1000
feds which have been tested for lime
requirements in the Experiment Sta
ton laboratory. In addition to this,
many soils have been tested by County
Agents who are equipped with testing
apparatus.
Owing TO the fact that there is great
variation in the amount of lime needed
on different farms in different sections
OF the State, it IS estimated that farm
ers last year were saved thousands of
dollars and beAeftted greatly through
improved soil conditions as result of
tue sol tests, it is only through the
test that the exact numb1r of pounds
or bushels Of lime per acre can be deter
mined.
The soil testing work Eat the Exper
ment Stlon is in charge of DR.. A. G.
Mccall and Professor A. M. Smith
DR.. Mccall believes that lime is the
way to soil Improvement and further
that the soil is the foundation of al
farming, its fertility preserving anc
controlling The prosperity of the farm.
1.-The soil Department and the EXten
sion Service, through the County Ag
ents, are willing at any time to ties
samples of soil, said DR.. Mccall"
from any farm in the State and the
amount of lime needed to correct thu
acidity of sourness of his soil shoulC
be matter Of vital Interest to ever,

Camping has become a recognized
necessity for the all-round develop

has many lessons which books and
school rooms can neither teach nor in
terpret. The Young Mems Christian
Association training camp has certain
definite objects and ideals toward
which every activity is directed.
These are health giving, social adj
justment, altruistic service, religious
worship, character making
The objects can /. only be realized
when the leaders really believe them
and interpret the same in their ,ac-
tions. SeVenty-tive years of Associa-
ton history has proven that boys are
Influenced more by example than by
precept. That character is caught,
not taught"

Virile Christian boys and men who
find that they lose nothing in manli-
ness nor power in following the man
hood of the Master
