Agent Seeking Tests Of Soil Now is the best time to take soil samples to deter mine lime and fertilizer needs for next year's crops, reminds R. M. Thompson, County Extension Chairman. Taking soil samples in late summer and early fall of fers several advantages. ; ilsuUSii-can-be ceived in a minimum amount of time ; by sending in jrour samples before., the rush pe riod starts in late fall. Also, lime heeds can be determin ed early and any needed lime can be applied this fall giv ing i it ample time to react before next year's crop., ; This last point"-is an im portant one, says Mr. Thomp son. Lime, to be most ef fective, should be applied several months in advance of planting and should be well mixed with the soil. Many farmers like to break their land in the fall soon after harvest jn order to help con trol certain soil borne insects and diseases. If any lime is needed it is best to apply it before breaking the ground since this offers a., good means of mixing it with the topsoil. ',' .'-,V';' . . Recent figures compiled by the North Carolina Depart ment '.--.'of .'Agriculture show that more than half of the soil samples sent in .from the Coastal Plain Counties show a needfor lime. - Test ing yo-ir soil is the only way to accurately determine whe ther or not -lime is -needed. Take your soil samples now nd ; avoid the rush, urges Mr. Thompson. Soil samp ling supplies are available at your county agricultural agents office. Make use of this service early; you'll be glad you did. .

"By this means they could make their presence known and felt at the hearing called by the Perquimans County School Board for October 22 lor the purpose of vacating the office of the Superintend ent whom they elected.

"This is, on the face of it, a most unfair method of de termining the guilty or inno cence of an individual and one which has no comparable legal justification in our American system of trial by an unprejudiced judge with jurors selected from their un biased opinion."
