How To Test Your Soil
A soil test is the best method of determining
whether a field needs limestone. It is good farm
ing practice to test the soil regularly.

a. Take at least 12 samples throughout the
field.
b. Total soil of all samples collected should be
about one quart.
c. Take a thin slice of soil down to the follow
ing depths
Rotated cropland or where any crop is
to be planted six inches.
On fields now in permanent pasture
three inches.
Drj' the quart of soil by spreading out on
newspaper (do not heat it)
When drj. screen out the stones with a flour
sifter or fly screen.
Place remainder in a clean freezer bag or box,
or paper carton (do not use a tin can).
Flint or write on the container the following:
a. Your name and address.
b. Field identification.
c. Crop for which recommendation wanted
d. Rotation used on the field, if anj.

tion Program, take the sample to the county
agricultural extension office. If not working in
the Consei ration Program, jou can take it to
the quany office of I\an M, Martin, Inc, Blue
