Agriculturally Speaking Proper Mixing Of Lime Soil Is An Important Factor By FRANK REAMS County Ext. Chairman COMING EVENTS March 28: Area Cotton Gln ners Group meets at Overton's Barbecue - 7:00 p. m. April 3: Inez Community Club meets - 6:30 p. m. Records Here is a fashion note for designers and manufacturers of farm workshirts. Make top front shirt pockets extra big and sturdy. Have space foi several pencils and while so arranging, reinforce the seams so they don't poke through. Sew in some fast eners at the top so that those valuable notebooks cannot fall out Into the grain bin or even worse, land in a mud puddle. In this present day struggle, those small notebooks are be coming as much a pulse of the farm operation as the ne cessity of the heartbeat beneath the notebooks. A lost record these days amounts to the same as los lng one's shirt. Keeping re cords will help a producer know his current financial sit uation and may be helpful In guiding him to a successful operation. It can be safely said, then, that a five cent notebook Is easily worth $1, 000.00 or more. Mix Lime With Soil Mixing lime with soil should be easy but In practice it is a different matter. To derive the most benefit from lime, it must be mixed with the sur face six to eight Inches of soil. This Is necessary be cause It moves very little from point of application and its beneficial effects are limited pretty much to where it Is applied. This very fact makes the satisfactory application of lime rather difficult. Lime is most effective when Intimately mixed with all the soli particles that make up the surface six to eight Inches or "plowlayer".

The best way to apply lime will depend on your equipment and available labor. One pos sibility and one that assures a good mix is to apply one half of the lime before plowing, disc two times and then plow. Follow this by applying the re maining half and again disc it two times. Admittedly, this is the most expensive method, and possibly should not be used except where more than two tons of lime are needed and quick results are desired, such as would be the case near planting time. A method that Is frequently used for more moderate applications is to apply the lime before plowing and then disking the land two or three times to a depth of four to six inches. Applying lime and getting good results is not easy. Mix ing it to plow depth is most Important. The agricultural lime that we use in North Carolina is limestone rock that has been ground to a fineness required by North Carolina law. Limestone rock, even though finely ground, does not dissolve readily in water, therefore, we have to place and mix it with the part of the soil that we want it to effect. Another thing, have your soil tested first to check lime needs. T our Observed attending the In dustrial Tour from Warren County held at Smithfield last week were: Ellis E. Fleming, J. W.

Alston Comments On Fire Company Recordl Commenting on anews story in this newspaper last week, McCarroll Alston, assistant Fire Chief, said yesterday that ( iring the 33 years that he has been a member of the Warrenton Volunteer Fire Company that the company has never had a home to burn to the extent that only the chim neys were left standing. A few have been badly burned, he said, but were reparable. Alston's comments were brought forth by an article taken from the Congressional Record, where it had been in serted by Rep. L. H. Foun tain, stating that the Warren ton Fire Department had not lost a home by fire in 99 years. A few years back someone sent into the office of The Warren Record a copy of The Warrenton Gazette, published prior to 1870. Amongthenews articles in this old paper was one stating that a mass meet ing had been held in the court house to provide some form of fire protection for the town. As a result it was agreed that two companies should be formed, one white and the other colored. Whether or not a white com pany was ever formed is not known, but as the result of that meeting a company was formed by the late John S. Plummer and exists to this day at Warrenton. Later, Plummer served as president of the North Carolina Color ed Volunteer Fire Company for many years, and his son, the late Baker Plummer, was also an officer of the State Association for many years. The local company was the subject of a feature story In The News and Observer, is sue of Jan. 27. As a result of this article MaCarroll Als ton, as assistant fire chief, received many nice letters of commendation. Among these was a letter from Mrs. Ro bert L. Warren of Dunn, who is the former Miss Jessie Al len of Warrenton, who has many relatives in Warren County. Her letter, under date of Jan. 28, addressed to Als ton, reads as follows: Dear Mr. Alston, "Congratulations on the en viable record of your fine Fire Department. As a child, I well remember those excit ing fire drills, and the names mentioned in The News and Observer of January 27 are fa miliar to me.
