CAUSE OF SOUR SOIL
EXPLAINED BY A.
& NJ. COLLEGE
EXPERT
SIMPLE TEST BY FARMER
CAN DETERMINE PRES
ENCE OR ABSENCE
OF DAMAGING
ACID

The causes of the soil acidity are
not always readily ascertalned and
several factors are responsible. wet,
poorly drained soils are frequently
sour because the slow decay OF veg.
citation under this condition VIII
produce acids. Such soils, of course
should be thoroughly drained before
any permanent Improvement can be
expected. A long series of crops
which remove the lime from the soil
would naturally tend to produce a
sour soil since the soil lime would
neutralize any acids SO long as there
is plenty of lime in the soil. Then,
while it is, of course, good practice
to pillow under green manures, yet
this practice will tend to make the
upper soil slightly sour since the de-
caying vegetation will generate
acids. This condition is often found
on sugar lands where green crops
have been plowed under for many
years. The long continued use OF
certain fertilizers tend to produce
a somewhat sour soil and recent in
vestigations show other probable
causes. Evidently the problem OF
soil acidity, like SO many other
problems, become more complex as
it is further studied.
But there is a fairly positive test
for acidity SO easy that there IS real.
Nv no excuse for ignorance OF soil
acidity. If blue litmus paper is
brought into contact with moist,
sour soil the paper will turn red
(not pink in short time and this
determination is accurate enough for
all practical purposes,
Litmus paper can often be obtain
ed at drug store, but in case it
can not be obtained the Experiment
Station will send supply of blue
litmus paper upon request accom-
panied by one cent stamp to pay

makes the following comment on a
form of agricultural lime which
Louisiana furnishes in unlimited
quantities.
Oyster shells and clam shells
when cleaned of adhering dirt and
organic material contain 90 to IS
per cent of carbonate of lime. Wher
coarsely ground they are extensively
used for poultry feed. in the prepar'
alton of which the finer material is
sometimes sifted out and offered
| for agricultural use. Such materia
may contain all the sand and dirt
that accompanied the shells. Clean
shells when finely ground constitute
| very valuable supply of lime fol
| agricultural purposes, and wher
ground to the some degree of fine
ness they may be considered as Of
the same agricultural value as Other
forms having the same content O.
| carbonate of lime.
