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.
