   It appears that I can't get a soil acidifying chart through without the 
list-serv screwing it up but, at least, my last attempt at doing so yielded 
a messed-up chart that can be figured out.  Henceforth, let's do it this 
way:  If you need the information, contact me off line.  Okay?

   I found an asp file online with acidifying soil information.  I sent it
to myself twice and it held together so let's see what the NAFEX list-serv
will do to it:
