Ever since liming materials have come into general use, vendors of such materials have been obliged to -submit one or more samples to a chemical laboratory for analysis, when information was desired concerning the value of their products for liming purposes. In some cases this has entailed considerable effort, inconvenience, expense, and delay. Much of the delay and inconvenience in obtaining the information sought after,
