During the last ten years an increasing amount of attention has been paid by soil survey workers to the correlation of the soil pH. profild curve to soil type both by colorimetric determinations in the field and by careful electrometric determinations in the laboratory with the hydrogen electrode. At the 1926 meeting of the American Soil Survey Association, Bushnell of the Indiana Soil Survey, read a paper giving the pH profile of the Gibson silt loam, and Conrey of the Ohio Soil Survey gave the reaction profile of the Clermont silt loam. Likewise, at this same meeting, Baldwin of the United States Soil Survey, gave the hydrogen-ion concentration profile of the Miami silt loam. In 1929, Norton and Bray of Illinois put out a publication on "The soil reaction profile", in which they gave the profile reactions of 14 of the most important soil types of Illinois. At the 1930 meeting of the American Soil Survey Association, Goodman of the United States Soil Survey gave the pH profiles of the Volusia and the Lackawanna silt loams.
