SURVEY OF STATE — SOIL IS TO BE MADE Action Taken by Joint Committe to Have Legislature Appropriate Half of Cost A comprehensive and thorough soil survey of Minnesota wil] be made next year providing the legislature will appropriate $25,000 to defray one-| half the expense, according to ac- tion taken at Minneapolis recently by Minnesota organizations The total cost of the survey will be $50,000 and the federal govern- emnt will appropriate one-half the amount. The action was taken by the joint committee representing the several Minnesota organizations af- ter consulting with the authorities at the university and state agricultural college. It will be made under the, auspices of the state agricultural : school and experiment station. An attempt will be made to -ob- tain an analysis showing the charac- ter and quality of the soil on every section of the land in the state. If more money can be secured, the soil on every quarter section will be tested. But at any event the com- mittee figures that the survey as planned will be @ correct and sweep- ing analysis of the soil conditions in | every portion of Minnesota. The committee on roads recom- mended that every possible step be taken to interest the voters of the | state in the Dunn 1-mill road tax amendment, which comes up for the approval of the voters at the fall election.
