Extract

With the extension of soil survey work and an increasing recognition of the importance, from chemical, physical and biological considerations, of the presence of calcium carbonate in the soil, it has become necessary to be able to determine accurately and with comparative ease the amount of carbonate in any given soil. During the past few years the methods adopted for this purpose have varied considerably, partly on account of inaccuracies which were only too apparent in comparative work, and also because of the need for greater convenience in manipulation.
