Able to Keep Location Exactly and Re- : cognize Soil Types : 5 (By the Associated Press) Urbana, M., July 31.—-The Univer- sity. of Mlinois’ Soil Survey work which has attracted wide interst, is as “intricate and exacting as it is scientific and important,” says an of- ficlal statement, today from the Uni- versity describing the work. : “Tr. conducting the svil survey, the county constitutes the unit of work- ing’.area, the statement said, “In ordér’ that the survey be thoroughly trustworthy it is, necessary that careful, well-trained men be employ- ed to do the mapping. The work is prosecuted to the best advantage by working in parties of from two to four. Only such men are placed in ‘charge of these parties as are thoroughly experienced in the work. “The men must be able to keep their location exactly and to recog- nizé-the different soil types, with their principal variations and lim- its,.and they must) show these upon the:maps- correctly. A definite sys- tem, is employed in checking up this ‘work. As an illustration, one man will survey and may a strip 80 rods wide. and any convenient length, while his associate will work inde- pendently on another strip adjoining his area, and if the work 4s cor- rectly done the soil-type boundaries } will ‘match up on the line between the two strips. How Maps Are Prepared “An accurate base map for field juse'is absolutely necessary for soil mapping. The best maps are pre- ,Pared on a scale of one inch to. the «mile,‘the official data of the original or subsequent land survey being sused as a basis in their construc- ‘tion. Each surveyor is provided with one of these base maps, which he carries with him in the field; and the soil-type ‘ boundaries, together with the streams, ‘roads, railroads, canals, and return sites are placed in their. proper locations upon the map while the mapper is on the area. Each section, or square mile, is di- vided into 40-acre plots onthe map, and the surveyor must inspect every ten acres and determine the type or types of soil thereon. The different types are indicated on the map by different colors. ‘ “A samll auger 40) inches long forms for each man an invaluable tool with which he can quickly se- cure of the different strata for in- spection, An extension for making ithe auger 80 inches long is taken by each party, so that any pecularity of G.

Each man carries a com- pass to aid in keeping directions. : Distances along roads are measured by ‘a speedometer or by some other measuring device, while distances in the’ field away from the roads are determined; by pacing, an art in witich the men become expert. by practice. The soil boundaries can thus be located with as high a de- gree, of accuracy as can be indicated by pencil on the scale of one inch to the mile. Samples Collected *“After all the soil types of a county ‘have been located and map- ped, sample representatives of the different tyes are collected-for chem- igal analysis. For this purpose wsu- ally three strata are sampled; nam ly, the surface (Q. to, 6 2-3 inches,) the subsurface (6 2-2 to 20 inches), and the subsoil (20 to 40 inches). These strata correspond. approxi- mately, in the common kinds of sgil, td 2,000,000 pounds of, dry soil an acre in the surfgge layer, and to two times this quahtity in the sub- surface.of the subsoil, respectively. This is, of course, a purely arbitrary division, very useful in arriving at a knowledge of the quantity and the distribution of plant food in the Soil, but it should be noted that these strata do not necessarily coincide With; the natural strata 9s they. act: ually exist in the soil, and which Gre ‘referred to in destribing the soil types. = “By this system of sampling there is represented separately three zoneg for plant feeding. The surface lay- ér includes at least as much soil as is ordinarily turned with the Blow.. This is the part with which the farm manure, limestone, phos- phate, or other fertilizer applied in soil improvement is incorporated, and which must be depended upon in farge part to furnish the necessary plant food for the production of ‘rops. A rich subsoil has little or Tio value if it lies beneath a worn- out surface, but if the fertility of the surface is maintained at a high point, then the strong vigorous plants will have power. to secure more plant food from the subsurface gnd. the subsoil.” SHENRY AND ME” : STILL FRIENDS % Monmouth, Ill., July 31.—Referring te William.

The slides, made from photographs of persons in training for employ- ment under direction of the State Bureau of Rehabilitation, are be- ing arranged by the Federal Board of Vocational Education. They will form an important part of the gov- ernment exhibit at the exposition in celebration of the 100th anniversary of the independence of Brazil. Most of the slides depict stories of specific cases handled by the re- habilitation bureau. For instance, there is the case of an 18-year-old hoy. who; after losing a leg in an in- dustrial accident was placed in em ployment training with a baking company and is now a regularly qual- ified and salaried employe ata skilled task. Other slides show the pro- gress of two young women who lost their right hands while operating presses in industsial establishments and have~been trained for clerical work so that today they have more. congenial and remunerative employ-' ment-than before they were hurt. American exhibits at the exposi< tion will be guarded by a detachment of the Marine Corps, 160 strong. These men come from a number of camps, and many are members of the famous Marine organization which fought at Belleau Woods, in July, 1918, Others are youngsters in the service, The ‘selection for duty in Brazil come as a reward for good conduct and general merit.

The Americans are concentrating their attention on the legions of parentless children which make Ar- menia the largest orphanage: center the world has ever known. In Trans- eaucasia alone are gathered the child- hoad of 400,000 Armenian refugees who fled before the Turks from Er- zerum, Trebizond, Van and. Bitlis.
