* By Selence Service BERKELEY, Cal, Aug. 29 — Whether or not alkali in the soil will interfere with plants growing may now be determined in 60

A new test developed under the! direction of Dr. Roy Overstreet, professor of soil chemistry at the University of California's College of Agriculture, can check the soil! any time of year in the labora-| tory. Materials necessary for cor-| recting alkali soils can then be! applied before a crop is planted.

“This is not a test of soil fertility,” Dr. Overstreet emphasized. “It is a measure of soil toxicity. Alkali soils Are usually, fertile after the salts are removed.”

The test can also check the efficiency and speéd of materials used to correct an alkali soil. { Radish seedlings are used in Dr. Overstreet’s test. Thirty-six hours after germination the seedlings are placed in a sample of alkali soil. The growth in the next 24 hours tells whether the soil contains too much alkali. Too much sodium and sodium salts in the soil inhibit plant growth. Further experiments are now under way to find out if this test can be aplied to other types of soils,
