At the last annual meeting of the Association a report as given of a survey of laboratory work being; carried on at the various stations in connection with the Soil Survey. It was suggested at that time that a study of methods employed should be undertaken, that methods for soil acidity in particular should be looked into. Work to this end has been undertaken and considerable information is in the hands of The committee, especially as to methods lor soil acidity. The most outstanding observation resulting f r o m this study is as to the diversity of method, especially as regards soil acidity. It v/ould appear that, former methods jnot being entirely satisfactory, a new test has been devised by nearly every Experiment Station to meet their individual needs. Twelve different methods are reported irom laboratories engaged in fork in connection with the Soil Survey. This condition is interesting and at the same time distressing. Some degree of standardization r-ould seem to be desirable.
