QUESTION: My neighbor
milks the same breed coWs L do.
Why are his butterfat tests High
er"?
ANSWER: While the butterfat
averages for the main breeds are:
Ayrshire, 4 pe.- cent; Guernsey, 5
pet cent: Holstein, 3.4 per cent;
and Jersey. 5.3 per cent, individ
ual cows of the same breed will
vary widely in their butterfat pro
duct ion.
QUESTION: What tools are
most suitable for taking soil sam
ples?
ANSWER: There are a number
of tools such as a soil tube, auger,
narrow trowel, or flat spade that
can lie .used successfully. Under
most conditions the soil tube is
the easiest and most rapid tool
to use, However, this tool cannot
be used in gravel, hard or dry
sandy soils. Tests show that the
tool used does not materially af
fect the results of the test as long
as a. core, or slice of soil is taken
at the 'desired number of places in
each field.
i QUESTION: Why not test sub
soil samples?
ANSWER: Research studies'
have shown that cropping prac
tices hav'e little effect on the re
sults of soil tests on subsoil sam
ples, Lime and fertilizer is not
being applied below the plow lay
er except in a few instances.
Knowledge of the subsoils in a
general area is sufficient without
testing samples from each field
on which recommendations are
made.
