Soil-Sampling
Procedures
Changes Made
Two changes have been made
in procedures for submitting
samples of soil for testing by the
soil sampling laboratory of the
State Department of Agriculture,
according to Howard Clapp-,
Cleveland County farm agent for
the State College Extension Ser
vice.
Mr. Clapp emphasized that by
early sampling farmers will be
assured of having soil test results
and recommendations before
placing next year's order for lime
and fertilizer.
. The changes in the procedure
follow:
? There have been two changes
in the procedure for getting soil
samples tested: '
First, the information blank
has been revised. This new sheet
is designed to give more informa
tion on soil type, drainage, slope,
and crop rotations to be followed.
This inforination_will be used to
help interpert soil test results as
a partial substitute for subsoil
samples. Therefore, it Is very Im
portant tliAt these blanks be fill
ed in as completely as possible.
Second, subsoil samples are no
longer necessary. To obtain a
soil sample that will be represen
tative of the area you want tested
take a small uniform core (or
slice' of soil from the surface to
a depth of about 6 inches in 15
or 20 spots. All of these cores
should be combined or put in one
box and properly labeled. Small
areas thaj differ in color, texture
ot drainage should be avoided or
sampled separately. More com
plete instructions arc given on
the back of the new information
sheet. '
Soil testing should be consider
ed on a crop rotation basis where
possible. Sampling soils every 3
to f> years or once during the ro
tation cycle is sufficient to main
tain an adequate lime level and
make necessary adjustments in
fertilization practices.
Cotton-Picking Costs

Pvt. Wright Is
Serving In Korea
WITH I CORPS IN KOREA ?
Pvt. Beaufort Wright, son of Mr.
and Mrs. Tom Wright, Route 1,
Bessemer City, N. G., recently ar
rived In Korea and has joined
the 623rd Field Artillery Batta
lion, a unit which traces Its hls^
tory to 1846 and has earned 19
battle streamers in six wars.
A Kentucky National Guard
unit, the battalion arrived in Ko
rea in December 1951. Since then,
it has taken part In some of the
most bitter fighting in Korea.
I Corps, which the battalion
supports, has fought in Korea
since September 1950. It led the
breakout from the Pusan perime
iter and smashed to within 40
miles of the Yalu River before
the Chinese Communist interven
tion.
In January 1951, I Corps again
drove the Communists north of
the 38th parallel.
Private Wright entered the
Army in April this year.
County Agent Says
Dollar Value Lower
If you have trouble making
cheap dollars pay-bills, you'll be
interested in knowing just what
the dollar is worth today. The
cost of things people buy hit a
new high in August, 1952, which
means the value of the dollar hit
a new low.
In comparison with the 1953*39
period the dollar today is worth
52 cents, says Howard .Clapp,
Cleveland county farm agent for
[the State College Extension Ser
vice. In 19-17 the buying power of
a dollar was 63 cents, and ten
years ago the figure was S6 cents.
"This is inflation." sa.Vs Clapp.
"The number of dollars in circu
lation has increased faster than
the supply of things that dollars
buy. Inflation doesn't affect all
commodities or all people a
like. Some gain while others lose.
Inflation helps t 9 redistribute the
wealth but. it does, not mean, a
real gain in the national standard !
of living.
"The only way to .really im
prove riur standard o? living," Mr,
Clapp points out . "is hy increas
ing our production. Product ioq is
standard .of living. What we pro
(hu e is "What we consume;"

Do you know this
about telephone taxes?
You may not realize how large a part of the
money paid by telephone users goes to taxes.
Including the federal excise tax, a total of 29*
out of every dollar received from Southern Bell
customers last year was paid out in taxes ,Iq
federal, state and local governments. To put K
another way, the average amount of taxes was
$2.67 a month per telephone.
Telephone taxes are necessary to the support
of 'government, but they do mount up. Higher
taxe? of course have effect on the price you pay
for telephone service.
The next time you pay your telephone bill,
remember that * good part of it is taxes for
government and national defense.

Poultry Pastures Are
Described In Folder
Acres of pastures dotted with
chickens are destined to become
as common, 11 not as artistic, as
pictures of contented cattle a
gainst lush green backgrounds.
Pastures for chickens are also
profitable. A new State College
Extension Service publication, en
titled "Grazing Crops for Poul
try," points out that pastures
have meant savings in feed bills
of from 6 to 14 per cent, depend
ing on the protein content of the
ration fed and the feeding pro
gram followed.
The folder discusses range
management, Ladmo clover, al
falfa, lespedeza, soybeans, rye
grass and crimson clover as pas
tures for poultry and presents a
readable chart giving the North
Carolina areas these plants and
five grasses that may be grown
and the date of growth.
Ladlno clover seems to be wide
ly adapted and meets all the re
quirements for a good poultry
cover crop, according to the pub
lication. It recommends planting
of one for every 300 chickens or
100 turkeys. Directions ire giv
en for planting this legume.
The folder may be obtained
from your local county agent or
by writing to the Publications
Department, N. C. Ctate College,
