ROD CAMERON ILLONA MASSEY "THE PLUNDERS" IN GLORIOUS COLOR NOW SHOWING! m Rocsot rot mrs PLIS Randolph Scott Robert Ryan here now, was made possible through the loan to the Univer sity of Nebraska, of a soils samp ling machine by the Utah Scien tific Research Foundation and the U. S. Department of Agriculture. The machine, which is attached to a pick-up truck, weighs about 2,200 pounds. It can drive a tube into the ground to a depth of six feet and extract a core of soil from two to four inches in di ameter in as little as five minutes. From the soil sample, the rate at which water flows through the material can be observed. The machine is valuable for deter mining the amount of large ag gregates in the soil which in turn determines the land's drainage capabilities. It also is important in measuring the amount of erosion that has taken place on land by observing the depth of the top soil. Dr. Roy P Matclski, assistant professor of agronomy, said the procedure offers big possibilities for the study of soil in different regions. He said he is looking for ward to the time when Nebraska will bo able to acquire a similar machine for more extensive sampling.
