A settlor in the Oamaru limestone belt recently sent two samples of his soil to Auckland for expert analysis (says an exchange). He was informed by the analyst that both were deficient in lime. It may seem strange to some that the soil on limestone country should be deficient in limo, but it has been recognised by experts in all parts of the Dominion that, this is quite possible. The rock limestone apparently .does not always impart its fertilising qualities to the soil by which it is clad.
