V. nas just been one of those days, loaded with everything, every minute, and yet a day full of lots" of wonderful and valuable experiences ) tne newspaper field-and what a broad field. Speaking of fields, I have never been as impressed with anything as was with the fields of Ohio on viewing them from the air when on my trip last week. Oh yes, I took a trip last week, and it was quite wonderful. I flew from Raleivh to Columbus, Ohio, on to Chicago from Columbus to Cleveland ai. then back home. It was my first ex perience at flying in many a day, but it i& really the way to travel. Getting back to the fields, 1 had not realized that Ohio is as Oat as it is. There doesn't seem to be s hill anywhere. They do not have ten ant farmers as we' have, and tne farms and woods look as though they were laid off in neat squares, and in one corner of the farm, the home, outbuildings and silos are cluttered together in a friendly group, completely isolated from the rest -of the two or three hundred acre farm. It was beautiful from the air, and if I am ever there again, I intend to visit some of thosa farms and see. bow they look from the grounds. " ' " While in Columbus,: I toured na tionwide Insurance Buiding and met an awful lot Of friendly folks. They have beautifully"; furnished offices and the most pretty secretaries I have ever, seen. The people in Columbus 'seem to be o '? friendiy that they remind you of Nortn Caro lina. I also toured the State Capitol which is very, old And Lnpres&ive looking, and also reeks with history. The erounds are. beautifully kept. and Jovely flower beds were in full bloom. And oh yes! . the shopping areas were just too tempting.; But I didn't see anything that wT pret tier than Duplin County when I got-i home:,- . v . ; - fcfcS-. ..Anytime you get fed up -'with everything and need a relaxing half hour or so, just engage Leslie Bell, of J.

Of Programs For In Duplin County cal counties In the state and refer. to the taking of a toil sampie pri - t planting of an crop and prior to application of fertilizer or lime. ASC's agricultural conservation program for 1960 provides several instances where the government shares with the farmer the cost of conservation pj.-ctices rowing ap plication of lime or, fertilizer. O. L. Holland, Chairman of the Agricul tural Stabilization and Conservation Duplin County Committee, says that although a soil test is not manda tory under any of these practices, it is strongly recommended in every case. Agricultural conservatilon pro gram practices which should be pre ceded by a soil test include estab lishment of permanent pastuie, ad ditional vegetative cover in a crop rotation, application of liming mat erials on farmland, improvement of an establish permanent pasture and others. According to Holland, every one of these practices recommends that the farmer take a sou test to dete rmine sou tre.r.ment. However :n the absence of s oil test, they per mit application of two tons of lime per acre on land that has not been limed within the i-ist 13 yars and 1 ton per acre where the land has been limed during the past years. The need for lime on Duplin Co. soils is great and eyen with the cost share assitance available through ACP only a very small fra ction or our needs is being met. Holland stressed the point that many planting practices under ACP will be carried out this tall and urg ed that the Ume be ordered now in order for the farmer to be sure his needs will be met. Holland caution ed farmers, though, that there are many soils in this state on whicn the standard fertiizer or liming rule does not apply. -' Some soils, he said, require an initial application of more than 2 tons per acre while on others appli cation of arty lime would be wasted The only way to determine the lime and ' fertilizer requirements ot the soil is by S soil test on a representative-sample, he said. Soil sample cartons, instruction , sheets. - and other assistance in the taking of sod samples may be obtained at the ASC ofa or from other agricultur al ageaoot w toe county.
