Lilly : — Referring to your letter of April 14 will say that our examinations indicate that thesoil deficiencies which are liable to occur in Western Oregon soils are a lack of organicmatter, consequently a lack of nitrogen, and acidity. The acidity in some soils runsquite high. In other states it has been found a sound agricultural practice to add groundlimestone for neutralizing acidity in soils. I think that this will have to be done in thewestern part of this state, if ground limestone can be obtained at a reasonable figure. Yours truly, H. V. Tartar, Chemist.
