OTUDIES of the seasonal variation in soil reaction ^J and the availability of nutrients in the soil are of much practical importance where chemical tests are used to determine the fertilizer and lime requirement of soils. In Georgia, where chemical soil tests for determining fertilizer and lime requirement are being used to a greater extent each year, investigations concerning seasonal variation in soil reaction and nutrient supply seem especially worthwhile. Through such investigations information may be obtained regarding the time of year at which a field should be sampled in order to determine its lime and fertilizer requirements.
