SOIL ANALYSIS.
MARKETING BOARD'S GRANT.
It has been found that the international method for mechanical analysis of soils is not suitable for all parts of the Empire, and a grant of £430 for ono year was made by the Empire Marketing Board to the University College of North Wales, Bangor, to enable a comparative study of methods of soil analysis to be undertaken. At the request of the Executive Council of the Imperial Agricultural Bureaux, the board recently approved a further grant of £450 to enable the investigation to be continued for a second year. So far the work has proved tho contention that the international method is unsuitable for several Empire soils, but indicates that with comparatively small alteration it may be made of use.
