Plan 1966
Farm Program
Ninctpon sixty-six will be here
before we know it and chances
are it will catch some of us nap
ping, says H. R. Clapp, county
extension chairman. With the
new year will come a new grow
ing season and all the production
problems normally associated
with it. One way of reducing
by careful planning and prepara-
these problems to a minimum is
tioi!. Have you made your farm
ing plans for next year?
For example, do you know
w’hat crops you will be planting
in which fields? Do you have a
I good estimate of the amount and
I grades of fertilizer you will need
' for next year so you can take
I advantage of pre-rush season
discounts and ordering? Do you
know which fields need to be
limed? Fall or early winter is
the best time to apply lime for
1 next years crop, ff you can't an-
j swer yes to all .of these ques-
I tion.s, now is the time to start
; Where do you start? Well, as
i thinking about them
I soon as you know what crops
; are to be planted in which fields,
; sample each fiel danU have the
soil tested. The results of the
soil test will tell which fields
m-ed lime and how much. The
.?oil test results will also enable
you to make an accurate esti
mate of your fertilizer needs for
next year, this way you can gel
the most from your fertlllzter
dollar; and by placing your or
der early you stand a better
chance of being able to get your
fertilizer when yOii need it.

be sampled even though the crop
grown on it this year has not yet
been harvested.
Third, having your soil tested
early will allow the Soil Testing
Laboratory to give you faster ■
service. This Itt.'.oratory is oper
ated as a service to the people
of North Carolina. They would
like to give each sample their
immediate attention. During
most months of the year they ;
can do this and you will have ;
the results -.of the soil test in a- j
!)Out 10 days. Unfortunately, tlie^
laboratory has its limitations as '
to the number of samples that :
can be processed each day. Each ;
year in the months of January.!
February and March the labora- !
tory receives more samples than |
