CNN crews visiting the compex last week found squalid conditions, including open sewage drains.

Rodolfo Olimpo, a representative from Baja California states Special Committee on Migration Issue, told CNN last week the compex was more than three times over its capacity.

Since Thursday, Mexican official have been transferring migrant from the compex to a new sheleter that is further away from the border in the eastern part of the city in an area known as El Barretal

Most of the migrant staying at the compex had left as of Sunday, but CNN chews there observed several dozen migrant staying in tents outside the gate

The Effect of Acid Soil

Soils with a pH of less than 7.0 are acid. The lower the pH, the more acid the soil. When soil pH falls below 5.5, plant growth is affected. Crop yields decrease, reducing productivity.

Soils provide water and nutrients for plant growth and development. Essential plant nutrients include phosphorus, nitrogen, potassium, and sulfur. Plants require other elements such as molybdenum, in smaller quantities. Some elements e.g. allumunium and manganese, are toxic plants.

Nutrients become available to plants when they are dissolved in water. Please are not able to take up phosphorus, nitrate, potassium, and sulfate ions in solution.

The solubility of nutrients changes with pH. In acid soils, (low pH), molybdenum become less soluble and aluminium becomes more soluble. Therefore, plant growth may be affected by either a deficiency of molybdenum or too much aluminium.

Both crop and pasture plants are affected by acid soils. There may be a range of symptoms. Crops and pastures may be poorly established resulting in patchy an uneven growth. Plant leaves may go yellow and die at the tips. The root system of the plant may be stunted. Crop may yield less.

Plant vary in their sensitivity to low pH. Canola and lucerne are very sensitive to acid soils so they do not grow well. Lupins and triticale are tolerant to soils of low pH so they still perform well.

Land can become unproductive if acid soil is left untreated. Incorporating lime into the soil raises the pH. Therefore, liming soil can reverse the effects of acid soil on plants and return a paddock to productivity.

 

"Therefore, plant growth may be affected by either a deficiency of molybdenum or too much aluminium." (Paragraph 4)

Last month I went to Banding with my elder brother. We went there by train. We would like to spend our holiday in my uncle house. He, his wife and their only daughter named Alike live in Lembang. My uncle works for a tea plantation company there

On our arrival at the station, my uncle and Alike were already there to fetch us. Then, my uncle drove us to his house. Before going to Lembang, we dropped by at a Sundanese restaurant for breakfast. Alike and l ordered grilled fish with child sauce and fresh vegetables, while my uncle and brother chose to have fried chicken with child sauce. We really enjoyed our breakfast much.

After that, we continued the trip to Lembang. We walked to the marking lot and got in the car. However when my uncle was trying to start his car, the car didn move at all. He tried many times, but failed. Then he asked my brother to check the gasoline, but it was full-tanked. My uncle also checked the machine, but he didn find the problem. My brother and I were getting a bit worried and tired too due to the long trip My uncle saw it and he decided to call a car repair shop

Ten minutes later two repairmen came and started checking and repairing my uncle car. The men looked serious and worked very skilfully. They checked the machine to figure out the problem. After working for a half hour, they managed to repair my uncle car However, there was another problem. My uncle didn bring enough money to pay for the service. Fortunately there was an ate both near the marking lot, so he straightly went there to withdraws a sam of money.

In minutes, everything was done. We all felt relieved Then, we continued the trip to my uncle house. Though we had been through such an uncomfortable incident it didn reduced our excitement to spend the holiday in Lembang, Banding.

He left school at the age sixteen and became a volunteer ambulance driver in World War I, after he changed his birth certificate to show his year of birth as 1900 in order to be able to enlist in the service. He served as a member of the American Red Cross Ambulance Force in France till 1919.
