Some 20 years ago. soil
scientists were trying to de-
termine whether certain plants
needed an acid soil or q sweet
soil and TO what degree. A
great deal Of data was collected
showing the ideal degree Of
alkalinity or acidity needed
FOR each kind Of plant.
Then we heard remarks that
the soils people had gone ply:
that too much emphasis was
placed upon lining or acidify-
ing the soil and that plants
seemed to be much more toll
Grant than the data indicated,
That was back in the early sos,
Today we are hearing q re-
turn to this philosophy. The
soil scientists are showing that
unless the soil has the proper
sweetness or acidity the plants
are unable to take up the plant
foods they need-that in an
acid soil some kinds Of food
are locked UP" and are avail
able to some kinds Of plants.
Plants needing a sweet soil
cannot get what they need
from an acid soil.
Thus it would seem necessary
for gardeners to pay much
more attention to- the pF1
rating of their soil. The SYM
Dol. PHI. is the chemist mea-
sure Of the degree of alkalinity
or acidity Of our soils. The
neutral point is Z. Less than
Z is acid and above Z is on the
sweet side.
Getting Soil Tested
There are q number Of soil
testing kits on the market with
which the gardener can deter
mine the PHI value Of his soils.
II you are not inclined to use q
soil testing kit then you may
take samples Of your soil and
send them to q soil testing lab
oratory. The University Of
Maryland has an excellent lab
oratory and will test soil for
residents Of Maryland without
charge. For nonresidents they
make q nominal charge. Vir-
ginia residents may send their
samples to Blacksburg where
VPI has an excellent labora-
tory. Residents Of Fairfax
County. Virginia. may feel II
easier to call upon the county
agent for assistance.
Taking Soil Sample
To take q soil sample push q
spade or ong-handled shovel
straight into the ground. Lift
out the bite" Of soil that is
loosened by the shovel. This
will leave a vertical surface ap-
proximately 6 inches deep

tice to change the PHI Of the
soil more than one unit per
year.
The increasing Of the acidity
or the alkalinity Of the soil is
best done during soil prepara-
ton. However. the lawn may
be lined at any time. usually

School Law
Test Plan
Is Rejected

ROANOKE, Va, July rs (P).
- Gov. Almond has turned
thumbs down on a proposal by
Delegate John c. Webb of Fair
fax County for the Governor
to initiate a court test Of the
constitutionslity of massive
resistance" laws before any in
tegrated schools are closed in
Virginia.
Your suggestion is a pre-
sumption Of unconstitutionality
which I do not share" the
Governor wrote Mr.. Webb. The
letters we're released to the
press here today.
The Governor wrote Mr..
Webb that the laws were fully
debated, considered and acted
upon by the General Assembly"
and ARE presumed to have
been enacted in the exercise of
the constitutional authority" of
the legislature.
Mr.. Webb had written Gov.
Almond: under circumstances
such as we face today, when
laws affecting the very corner
stone Of democracy are in issue,
your failure to actively seek
such judicial review is most
difficult to understand"
In Richmond Friday, Gov.
Almond met with Attorney
General A. S. Harrison, jr. and
nine other lawyers in a lengthy
private session on the school
situation. He said the group
had reached mo definite an
nouncable conclusions"
In a brief statement. the
Governor said the group dis
cussed "the overall school sit
uation."
Among those present were
counsel for the State and 10
calities in several school de-
segregation lawsuits, represent
atives Of the Virginia Pupil
Placement Board and members
Of a private committee which
is offering guidance to local
groups on the possible estab-
lishment Of private schools.

DELAWARE, Ohio. Mar. 81
(A.--Meade Alcorn. chairman
of the Republican National
Committee. said today Demo-
Gratis would spend Federal
funds "at random" to halt the
business downturn.
Republicans. he added. are
not willing to "hand our grand
children a billion-dollar bill for
1858 leaf-raking."
The @. o. P. chairman, in an
address prepared for Ohio
Wesleyan University's student
assembly. said the difference
between the two parties on the
current recession is this:
THE Democrats see in this a
negative, hard-times issue on
which their various splinter
groups can unite. Their an
swer is twofold: Cd Mount a
massive publicity barrage OF
professional pessimism to shake
confidence in the future and
90 wheel out their traditional
and only economic weapon. the
Federal Treasury. and fire it
of pretty much at random in
all directions.
I'VE Republicans see in the
downturn a temporary chal-
lenge to the working partner
ship Of Government and pri-
vate initiative. We refuse to
spread fear and panic among
our people.
I'VE refuse to believe that
the bright future Of America
has suddenly dimmed. We
quietly loosen credit, encourage
enterprise and carry out a solid
economic program to stimulate
and accelerate spending only
for things the country needs. I"
