Take Samples Of Soil Now For Fall Crops The farmer who looks ahead gen erally comes out best in the long run, according to Charles W. Welch, spil testing specialist, N. C. Department of Agriculture. There is a double advantage for farmers to have their soil tested now for Ladino-grass pastures, alfalfa, small grains and other fail seeded [ crops. Lime should be applied ahead of land preparation for best results, and an overload In the Soil Testing Laboratory may cause de lays later in the summer, says Welch. ? ' At the present time the Soil | Testing Division can give prompt I service, getting out reports in sev en to 10 days after samples are re ceived. Farmers who want a com plete analysis and suggestions for both liming and fertilization should send their samples now. Later it may be necessary to request that farmers send their samples for lime test only, since there is a lim it as to the testing that can be done. For best results from soil tests it is necessary to collect good samples, explains Welch. Inforpia lion reearding soil tests and in structions for sampling can be ob tained from local agricultural agencies or by writing the Soil Testing Division. State Department of Agriculture, Raleigh.
