page 2 Wednesday, October 15, 1930 daily nebraskan Soil Judging Team places fourth in competition By Pat Carraher The UNL Student Soil Judging Team finished fourth in the Region V contest of the National Collegiate Soils Judging Competition Oct. 3 to 4. David Lewis, professor of agronomy in the NU In stitute of Agriculture and Natural Resources, said that in addition to the team's fourth place finish, K win Seevers was third in the individual competition. The four who competed with Seevers were Glenn Kovanda, Paul Lear, Steven Renz, and Michael Sughroue. AH five are seniors. Lewis defined soU judging as "classifying soils by re cognizing their properties. "All soils have certain biological, physical, and chemical properties, and once a student can recognize these properties, he then can classify the soil." Lewis said. The soil judging contest tested the students ability to classify soil samples, Lewis said. There are a number of uses for soil classification, Lewis said. The uses range from determining how well a crop will do when planted in a certain soil to how well a house will stand on a type of soil. Lewis said this knowledge helps in comparing soils. "If someone knows how a particular fertilizer does in a certain soil, then he can assume the fertilizer will act the same way when used with that soil again. Lewis went with the team to Brookings, SD. The trip was paid for by the Ak-sar-ben fund for student travel. Lewis said two soil judging contests are scheduled each year, one in autumn and one in spring. He said the fall competition was regional and the spring contest is national. Nebraska is in the North Central Region that includes Kansas, Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, North Dakota and South Dakota. UNL will be the host of the national competition next spring, with 16 to 18 teams from around the nation competing. The host school never is allowed to compete, so the UNL team will not participate in the contest next spring. Lear said the team learned a lot on the trip. One thing that impressed him, Lear said, was the difference in soils between Nebraska and South Dakota. "We saw how different the soil was between here and South Dakota, so imagine how much different the soil would be between here, and say, New York, Lear said. This year, the university was able to take all the stu dents who wanted to compete, but that is not always the case, according to Lewis. In some yean there have been so many students wanting to compete that a separate elimination contest has been held.
