Excerpt from Journal of the Washington Academy of Sciences, 1916, Vol. 6 A study of the results for each soil obtained by the use of the various indicators and by the electrometric method shows that the agreement between the two indicators is very good except in one instance (n o. And that the agreement between the colorimetric and the electro metric methods is good in every case. Such agreements show that the two methods give comparable results and give ground for inferring that such results are approximately correct. It would seem premature at this time to apply the results obtained in this way to the soil as it exists in the field, since carbon dioxide is lost during the drying and the natural soil solution is diluted for the determinations. Nevertheless it may well happen that the errors so introduced (from a field standpoint) are not great enough to obscure the differences observable between different soils. Further work will be required to ascertain whether this is the case. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, and Agriculture Conserving the soil and checking its erosion were of first importance in Washington's mind throughout the years following the Revolution. When looking for at new manager he demanded that the man must be, above all, Midas like, one who can convert everything he touches into manure, as the first transmutation toward gold; in a word, one who can bring wornout and gullied lands into good tilth in the shortest time. He experimented with various fertilizers and used marl and muck from the Potomac River bottom on some of his fields. Mechanical difficulties prevented him from spreading river mud as fertilizer on a large scale. Noah Webster said that at the time of his visit to Mount Vernon the standing toast was Success to the mud!
