Excerpt: . . . which have included several hundred samples taken from nearly all the counties in this state, it has been found that the best types of soil usually contain the largest amounts of calcium, phosphorus, sulfur and manganese and the poorest have the lowest. 5. The easily soluble calcium, that is the portion soluble in weak nitric acid (0. 2N) and in carbonated water has also been determined in many samples. Some distinctive differences were found in the relative solubility of this element in the soils from different areas. 6. Many soils were found to be so low in calcium that their deficiency in this constituent requires consideration as well as their low phosphorus and nitrogen supply. 7. The application of one or two tons of limestone or of rock phosphate per acre to some soils adds about as much calcium as the surface soil contains. If these materials are found to be beneficial on such soils, the question arises, what part of such benefits can be attributed to the plant-food calcium which these materials supply apart from other useful functions which they perform REFERENCES (1) Association of Official Agricultural Chemists, Doolittle, R.
