They cost North Ca rolina fanners, home gard eners and landowners an estimated SB3 million in 1965.

A Rudder For Soils: You wouldn’t dare go out in a boat without a rudder or a car without a steering wheel to steer it. Yet in many fields crops are planted each year without the use of a soil test as a guide steering the use of lime and fertilizer.

Soil samples may be taken to the county Extension of fice or to your fertilizer dealer. “Don’t Guess, Soil Test.” Avery was the last North Carolina county to be formed bringing the state’s total number of counties to 100.
