Such wet periods frequently oc
cur during the winter months.
Mr. Cl-'.pp .state- that it is best
not to sample extremely wet
soils because of the dificulty on
conntrrH in obtaining a truly
representative sample from a
field or area. However, moderate
ly wet soils can tie sampled if
care is exercised in collecting the
samples. For example, soil cores
or slices from .an area nr field
should lie collected r«i a clean
bucket and then transferred to
.a i-lcan plastic bag during the
samplin' of several fields or
areas. Each ha*7 should he mark
•si as to the area it represents
by dipping a numbered toy to it.
After the samples have been
collected, the mil must he poured
out of tlie plastic bags onto wax
cd paper to air dry for two or
three days. When the soil be
comes sufficiently dry. mix each
sample of soil in a ••lean bucket
ami transfer a portion to a regu
lar soil sampl*ig carton. TV
sample carton-i are then placed
in regular cartons for sending to
the Soil Test in.’ Division. N- C
Department of Agriculture, Ha
leigh. North Carolina.
January is a good month to
colloi-t samples says Mr. Clap|>
Farmers are encouragtsl to make
use of soil testing and other up
to-date production practices that
will hc|»> them increase their net
farm income. For sampling sup
plies and information on sampl
ing, contact yrur County Exten
sion office.

Chevrolet's new low-cost quality delivery truck!
This introduces you to Chevy-Van—our new economy
delivery truck.
It has a low price tag, over 40 sq. ft. of completely
usable flat floor V/2 ft. long, the engine up front, and
a lot of quality features which make it a better buy.
The body and frame-floor are welded together. The
truck is strong, rigid, stable. Doors are double-wall
and out. Certain sections are treated with high-zinc
content primers; others with an aluminum-wax
preservative.
The windshield is a big flat practical one-piece unit.

Chevy-Van has unusual resistance to rust
and corrosion. Especially vulnerable areas '
such as front stepwells are galvanized.
Sealers are used at all critical joints inside
