Agents of the Agricultural Extension Ser vice get dozens of questions about lime. What does it do? 1 How does it work? If people remember six points about liming, I believe that a lot of misunderstanding can be cleared up. 1. Lime neutralizes ex cessive soil acidity by raising the pH level of soil. Over-acid soils are poisonous to plants, especially young seedlings. 2. An estimated 60 to 80 percent of Yancey County soils are too acid for best farm and garden results. This • acidity problem builds up gradually as a result of climatic conditions and crop ping practices. 3. The only sure way to tell if soil needs lime and how much, is through a soil test. Soil testing service is free through your county Agricul tural Extension Service and the N.C. Department of Agri culture. 4. Lime does not move in the soil. Therefore, it must be spread evenly and mixed thoroughly in the soil if it is to j_. be of maximum benefit. 5. Lime reacts more slowly than fertilizer. Therefore, it should be applied several weeks or months before planting time. Fall and winter is an ideal time. The benefits of lime will last longer than those of fertilizer. Most mountain soils need lime about once every four or five years. 6. Crops such as Tobacco, Com and many forage le gumes as well as certain vegetables are quite sensitive to low soil pH. Except in the y high organic soils, these crops do best in a pH range of 5.8-6.2. A few crops such as blueberries and azaleas like more acid soils or soils with a pH range of 4.0-4.5. Your County Aricultural Extension Office has addition al information on liming for people who want to know more about this important, yet misunderstood practice. ••• BULL LEASING PROGRAM Many agricultural areas of the southeast are making a real contribution to the beef cattle industry through a bull leasing program. . Here’s how the program generally works, A sponsor will purchase a service-age bull and then lease him to a cattleman in that community for an annual lease fee. This fee which is normally paid in advance will usually be about 20 to 25 percent of the total purchase price. Sponsors thus hope to recover the total cost of the bull within four to five years. In many cases, where a lessee wishes to keep the bull for several years and then de cides to buy the bull, he generally may count the lease fees which he has paid against the total purchase price. In the case where a lessee wishes to use the bull only for a breeding season, the spon sor usually has a place where bulls may be returned during the off-season for keeping until the next breeding season. YEARS OF EXPERIENCE Mr. Wister Curry, Presi dent of the First State Bank of Cuthbert and Shellman, Geor gia is an example of a banker whose institution has been involved in a bull leasing program for the past three years. They now have 16 bulls involved in their leasing program and according to Curry, “We feel this is one way of contributing to the improvement of the beef cattle industry of the com munity.” While Mr. Curry does not intend for the program to be a profit making enterprise for the bank, he said, “We feel that we will indirectly benefit if this program is helpfui in improving the quality and profitability of the cattle business in our community. OTHER ADVANTAGES In leasing programs, theer are other advantages. Persons who lease bulls on such programs generally sign a lease agreement. Tliis agree ment states that they agree to follow certain recommended management practices which II Interested In I Improving Your Figure?

For example a cooperator is asked to determine that his entire herd is healthy and free from any reproductive diseas es before he is allowed to lease a bull. He further agrees to follow a controlled breeding program in which summer calves are avoided. Bulls selected for the program are generally semen tested before they are purchased and determined to be healthy and free from diseases. The cooperator agrees to feed and care for the butt during the time he has the bull. It may be that these advantages contribute as much to improve total cattle programs as the use of the bull itself. SUPERIOR BULLS Os course, the main advantages of such a bull leasing program is that greater attention and effort is given to the selection to truly superior bulls. Most leasing programs insist that the bulls they buy will have a yearling weight of no less than a zthousand pounds and be in Citizens Selected" For Jury Duty Yancey County Sheriff Kermit Banks has summoned the following citizens, who have been selected for Jury duty for the September Term in the District Court, Yancey County, North Carolina. The summons is pursuant to General Statutes, Chapter 9-1, and the term begins September 20, 1976, at 9:30 o’clock A.M. Name Township Boone, Marcella #8 Hollifield, Edward Ray #9 Tipton, Horace #1 Ingle, Kathy P. #2 Fox, Hubert #1 Hicks, Paul Dean #8 Hensley, Eugene #8 Silvers, Anna Lou #6 Miller, Callie #2 Letterman, Cathy Teresa #5 Banks, Oliver #ll Banks, Virginia A. #1 Towe.Wadeß. #ll York, Lois R. #1 Thomas, William Randy #1 Freeman, Randall #1 Ayers, Mary Lou #1 Hollifield, Evelyn Marie #8 Elkins, Baccus #1 Ogle, Nora Ann #6 Simmons, Brenda Sue #9 Mclntosh, Steve Edward #6 the top one-third of a group from which they are selected. They are also generally selected on the basis of good conformation. Many small producers would not feel that they could afford to pay SIOOO to SISOO for a bull to be used on a small herd. However, many of them do not hesitate to pay S2OO to S3OO for an annual lease of a bull of this type. If you as a cattleman feel that such a, program might work in Yancey County, you might want to discuss it with me. We have local institutions who are interested in sponsor ing a bull. This AGRI-VUES news column was initiated several months ago with the objective of BETTER informing Yancey Citizens. Toi a large extent, the column has ‘ met those objectives. 1 find however some people regularly read news columns-(and the whole paper) and some people seldom or never read col umns. To more effectively reach more citizens, I will be using the news article type format instead of the column for a period of time.
