continue we are voting to 3 for Know-How! Nickel NICKELS KNOW mm We like a bargain! And that's just what Nickels for Know-How looks like to us. We have problems that agricultural re search and education can solve. We don't know of a farm family who hasn't. Alone, we can't afford to pay for our own agricultural research and education; but if we put our nickels with yours, we can buy at a bargain the know-how we all need. That's what we have been doing for the past 12 years. We've each contributed a nickel for every ton of feed and fertilizer we bought. Our mftney has paid for scores of research and education projects. The projects approved by the farmer-director from each county who represents us on our Agricul tural Foundation at N. C. State are solving prob lems that hold back all of us. There have been projects, to name a few, in dairy cattle breeding, animal nutrition, vegetables, tobacco insects, black shank, blueberries, poultry physiology, nematodes, witchweed, alfalfa weevils, soil fertility corn breeding, home economics information, cotton marketing, milk production, peanut diseases, soy- j beans, family nutrition, farm mechanization, com munity development, small grain diseases and for age crops. Who 12 years ago thought that we would now have farmers producing 180 bushels of corn? Or who thought we would have cows averaging over 20,000 pounds of milk and 600 pounds QJf, butterfat per year or broilers that could put on 4 pound 'of gain With tWO DOUnds.of feed, nr lavpra tWf 9A eggs per year oi hogs that yield 40 per lean uumj. .re gno iGDcaitu auu euucauun mucn OI uie credit for these accomplishments. But -we know we need more such accomplishments if we are to stay in business. Another reason we are voting for Nickels for Know-How is a matter of pride. W$ want our chil dren to know their daddy and mother are willing to do "a little bit extra" when it mmp. r halmnir themselves and their youngsters. That's what Nick els for Know-How is a program of self-help in the American tradition. If you use feed or fertilizer, you and your wife or husband can vote for Nickels for Know-How on Tuesday, November 19. If your children buy feed or fertilizer as most 4-H'ers, Future Farmers and New Farmers of America do they vote also.

If not, Har ry Silver, County Extension Chair man state that an analysis of production practices may be in or der. The fall season is a good tbns for such an analysis, as the present year's production prac tices are readily remembered and there is plenty of time to make changes or update plana for next) year's crop. A good place to start la with the soil, especially its lime and fertility needs. This means tak ing soil samples and sending them to your Soil Testing Laboratory in Raleigh. The soil is the log ical place to start in trying to boost crop yields and increase net) income, for if the soil need lime idor is low in one or mora plant nutrients, crop production will be limited by these fsctors Silver ssys that field moisture conditions are usually better dur ing the fall months for taking samples than in the winter months. I'rolonged winter rains frequent ly make it difficult to get soils tested in time to make the best use of soil test results and lime and fertilizer recommendations Other production practices need to be looked into, also, but have your soil test first.
