Question: When was the North
Carolina Agricultural Experiment
station established T
Answer: The Station was estab
lished through action of the. General
Assembly in 1877 and is one of the
oldest agricultural experiment sta
tions in the country. Its work in
-soils, fertilizers and crops has been
specially outstanding. Dr. R. Y.
Winters of the State College staff
is director of the Station.
Question: Does State College
analyze soil for farmers?
Answer: Yes. This work is done
by the Department of Agronomy
nncifar the direction of Prof. C. B.
' Williams. Last year, Mr. Williams
' and his staff examined and apprais
" ed some 1200 samples of soil for
farmers f the State. The examina
tion KSistB mainly in establishing
the soil type, physical conditions of
-Mite Boil, estimating the content and
condition of organic matter and de
termining the need for lime. With
this information on hand and with
the results of experiments on similar
soils, the department of agronomy
can give reliable information as to
fertilizer needs of different crops.
Announces Rates For
1937 Soil Payments
Soil - building payments offered
North Carolina farmers who partici
pate in the soil - conservation pro
gram this year have been announced
by J. F. Criswell, of State College.
The maximum amount of these
payments a grower will be eligible
to earn' is called his soil-building al
lowance, Criswell said.
These payments will be in addition
to the diversion payments offered
for taking land out of soil-depleting
crops and planting it to soil-conserving
crops.
On farms where a diversion pay
ment can be earned, the soil-building
allowance will be $1 for each acre
normally devoted to soil-conserving
crops, plus the number of acres di
verted from soil-depleting crops.
For farms not able to earn any di
version payment, the soil-building al
lowance will be 75 cents for each
acre of crop land or $1 for each acre
in soil-conserving crops, whichever
amount is larger.
In both cases additional allowances
will be made for truck growers, or-
