Geology is a study of a plant and its environment and pH determines soil acidity or alkalinity. Most plants tolerate a range around neutral. optimum pH yields max growth under favorable conditions. Lime can raise acidity, aluminum sulfate and sulfur acidify, but overuse harms soil. Subsoil and cost constraints affect large scale adjustments. Austrian price levels adjust to Germany for iron and steel, aluminum, autos, and rail rates.
Taylor said the railroads will seek reduction on a prior 15 percent general rate rise for fertilizer, granted by the commission in December 1937. The secondary increase of 10 percent has not yet been granted.
