Sends analysis of burnt and unburnt samples.
Requests permission to call upon EF any morning from Saturday through Tuesday.
His samples of earth have been sent for analysis. EF has saved CD and his son from wasted experimenting.
Requests chemical analysis of sample of both natural and burnt soil.
Gratitude for the invaluable assistance. Is disappointed that natural soil is richer than burnt. Problem of securing sufficient chemically pure soil to test growth of plants.
