Eric Norfleet, Commissioner TNc ll-3« Agent Tells How To Take Reliable Soil Samples JACKSON - A soil test is the first step in profitable crop pro duction. Sample your fields soon and avoid the rush, urges Coun ty Agricultural Chairman B, H. Harrell. However, a reliable soil sample Is essential. The most important step in soil testing is sampling the field or soil area on which you want soil test in formation. A sample box full of soil weighs about one pound. This pound of soil may repre sent as much as lO acres of land containing 20,000,000 pounds of soil in the surface six inches. Therefore, the sample must be carefully taken if it is to truly represent an area or field. Research on sampling has shown that it is easy to collect a reliable soil sample. The best procedure to follow is outlined below. 1. Divide your farm into areas according to the color and tex ture of the soil. For example, dark and light colored areas in the same field should be sam pled separately. Similarly, sandy and clayey soils should be sam pled separately. Fields or areas that have not been cropped, limed and fertilized the same should be sampled separately. Obtain sample boxes (one for each area) and information sheets from one of your £^ri- cultural agencies, or from your fertilizer dealer. Also farm banks frequently carry these Northampton Cooaty Soil Conservation Notes By JOHN B. LITCHFIELD Soil ConservatiMi Service J. H. Woodard, of Pendleton, recently dug two open ditches to serve as outlets for drain tile. He also installed 2375 feet of drain tile. This work was done as part of the schedule set up in his con servation farm plan. He has also seeded four acres of wheat and fescUfe as a',^?«^itin^ngon.3;gr,?;ssK' ed based rotation. The fescue will be allowed to continue growing throughout the summer after the wheat is harvested. G. S. Sauls, of Conway, is re vising his conservationfarmplan in cooperation with the North ampton Soil and Water Conserva tion District. Therevlsionbrings in fields that were not Included in the original plan. He plans to start next week building additional parallel ter races and grassed waterways. He says the terraces he built last year have well paid for themselves. The terraces serve as a guide for contour cultivation. In addition to terracesfor ero sion control he has used crota- larla for soil building and drain tile to relieve wet spots. Soil Conservation Service technicians helped Gay Flythe, of Conway, stake 1500 feet of tile lines last week. He says he plans to build terraces on one of his fields next spring. John C. Dickerson, of Pendle ton, installed 800 feet of drain tile last week. The tile, he says, will relieve a wet spot that has been a source of trouble for a long time. Last year he closed up an old ditch and established grassed wa terways to handle the surface water, E. T, Bradley, Star Route, Roa noke Rapids, set up a program of woodland improve ment in his conservation farm plan last week. He plans to use a heavydiskhar- row to suppress small scrub hardwoods and expose mineral soil. Pine seedlings will be plant ed. Large cull hardwoods will be controlled by poisoning. He will plant shrub and lespe- deza to provide permanent patch es of food and cover for birds. These will be supplemented by patches of annual food mixtures. This week - November 19-25- is being observed in North Caro lina as Farm-City Week. The ob servance Is sponsored by Kiwanis International. J. P. Kuykendall, State Con servationist for the Soil Con servation Service, said: “This annual event is an example of the recognition given by civic clubs and other town and city groups to the interdependence of farm and city people.” He quotes Sec retary of Agriculture Orville L. Freeman as saying:“Thedimen sions of the resource job weface are staggering. Land today has new values beyond the production of food and fiber. It is looked upon as a source of community stability and economic growth, as the development base for new jobs, for recreational opportuni ties, for living and working space and other benefits that relate to nonfarm as well as to farm and ranch people.” supplies. 2. You will need a clean buck et and a sampling tool such as a spade, trowel, soil tube or aug er. A soil tube is the quickest and easiest to use. 3. Collect at least 15 slices or cores along a zigzag path around the area to be represented by one sample. If sampling with a spade or trowel, make a V-cut to plow depth at each stop. Then remove a one-inch-thick slice of soil from one side of the V-cut and place a one-inch-wide portion in a bucket. A soil tube is pushed into the soil to plow depth to col lect a core. 4. After slices or cores have been collected in bucket, mix well, 5. Mark sample carton with number of area and transfer a portion of mixed soil to carton (fill about 2/3 full). 6. Answer the questions on the Information or field sheet as completely as possible. Be sure that the field or area numbers that you use on the Information sheet are the same as those on the corresponding soil sample boxes. Be specific as to crops to be grown. Do not use general terms such as pasture, hay, grass, etc. There are different kinds and they vary as to their lime and fertilizer require ments. 7. Place your soil samples in the mailing carton that is sup plied and the Information sheet in an envelope and send them to the Soil Testing Laboratory or collection point in your coun ty- You will need to make a rough sketch of your farm showing where the various samples came from. This is essential or you may not remember the field rep resented by a certain sample- when you get your report from the laboratory, Harrell stated. For more information on col lecting soil samples, study the directions on the back of the Information sheets and the pam phlet, “Soil Sampling The Key to Reliable Soil Test Informa tion.” Public Notices NOTICE OF SALE OF VALUABLE LANDS Under and by virtue of the power of sale conferred upon the under signed Commissioner in a decree in the Superior Court of Northampton County, North CaroUna. made In that Special Proceeding entitled "Mary P, Bristow and her husband.
