CATHY ROBERTS of Mar first place winner in the ?.WNC Horticultural Contest ti#% News From Agricultural Extension Office 5 By EARLE WISE County Extension Chairman : TAKE SOIL TEST NOW Take soil samples during the next three months to have information in time for your 1977 crops.. Fertilizer prices have almost doubled in the last * few years. This makes your -soil test information more ... valuable in applying fertilizer to meet the crop needs " More than two-thirds of the ,".SDil test sent in by Madison ? fanners in 1976 suggested the use ot lime. Soils needing lime do not make good use of the fertilizer applied until the lime is added. Low lime levels for many crops require up to double the amount of fertilizer needed for crop production. By figuring the cost of lime as compared to fertilizer and lost production from crops, it pays to meet lime needs. Contact any agricultural agency for soil cartons and other assistance. BBB Offers Precautions To CB Radio Buyers | The Better Business Bureau of Asheville-Western North Carolina suggests that in dividuals considering buying new citizens bond (CB) radios before Christmas take certain precautions: Federal Communications Commission (FCC) approval for the new 40-channel sets will not go into effect before Jan. 1. The local Better Business Bureau has a list of the first 40 channel CB transceivers which already have passed FCC laboratory tests, litis list will be updated as sets are approved by the FCC. Anyone considering the purchase of a sat should call the bureau office for this information The FCC cautions, however, that even those 4b-channel transceivers which meet FCC standards may not be sold or even demonstrated prior to Jan. l. In addition, any advertising of 40-channei equipment which has not received FCC approval must contain a notice stating that fact and that it cannot be sold or offered for sale until approval is obtained. Operation of non-approved equipment can mean the loss of the consumer's FCC license and a fine of 9100 or more. Most B-channel sets now on the market already qualify for FCC approval. When buying a CB radion, the BBB suggests that consumers look for a permanent label on the transceiver showing the FCC Approval Type Numbers or the Manufacturer Model Number and the name of the manufacturer. If there is a warranty with the set, it should be read and understood One of the biggest come-ons to market illegal CB equip ment is the extra power transmitter in excaas of the legally allowable maximum of four watts. The second biggest problem is the marketing of "add-on" power amplifiers which can boost a tran smitter's power above the legal maximum There u do legal way any CB radio can be modified to product additional transmitter output wattage No CB radio can be sold legally which will produce more than four watti DR.
