have failed to utilize the help of
cost-sharing offered by the Gov-
eminent in carrying out needed
soil and water conservation prac
tices on their farm, do not realize
the importance of conserving our
topoil, says Novile Hawkins,
cVaii-nian of th- county ASC coni
niittee. The chairman pointed out
that the I-cderal funds allocated
to the , -, unly for At I pin p -es

MHC LIONS TO
PLAY ALABAMA
TEAM SATURDAY
The Mars Hill College Lion
will try to break into the win
column at Mars Hill, Friday at
8 p. m. in a non-conference game
against Marion (Ala.) Institute.
The Lions dropped a 7-0 game
to Gardner-Webb last Saturday
night at Mars Hill, in a steady
downpour tfhat made the game un
usual in several ways. Neither
team attempted a pass; eaeh was
forced to punt seven times; at
least 12 fumbles occured with GW
recovering four of Mars Hill's
while losing three of their own.
Frustrated by four straight
losses, the Lions expect to find
the winning combination in their
battle with the military school
boys at Mars Hill Friday. A
game between the two teams sche
duled last season was cancelled
wihen the teams and student bod
ies of both schools were hard hit
by an epidemic of Asian Flu.

Soil Sampling
Is Essential For
Successful Farming
M..-t -oils in the state are low
in one of the fifteen (IS) known
elements which are essentia! to
plant growth, states James M
Stow ait, assistant county agent.
If any one of those- is missing in
sufficient, amount, all efforts will
not be able to produce a success
ful crop. To determine which, if
any, of these elements are low, it
is necessary that a soil test be
made.
A good time to take these soil
samples is in the fall when more
time is available. A pood
sample can lie taken by:
1. Dividing fields to be testeif
into areas no greater than 4 to
6 acres.
'1. Take 15 to 20 soil samples
which are representative of th
field.
3. For crops to be grown other
than pastures, it is necessary to
take samples of the top 6 inches.
4. For pastures, a 3 inch sam
ple is- recommended.
It is important that soil sam
ples be taken now in time to ap
ply the recommendation into your
planning for the coming year.
Soil sampling is essential to
prevent guessing and it is im
portant that the farmer know
what is in his soil. Regular soil
tests can help save money on toil
treatment and is a valuable aid.
toward more profits on crops.
