Laboratory analysis of soil

“Soil types will play a major
role in the development of
recomlmendations under the
new system. Physical charac
teristics of soil, particularly
depth and drainage, greatly
determine the yield potential.
Since soil type names reflect
these characteristics, Common
wealth soils will be divided
into five groups. A yield po

each soil group has been es

such, as small grams, the yield

BUTLER STOR-N-FEED'
SYSTEMS FOR FORAGE AND GRAIN
If all you get is "the blues” from shop
ping for a low moisture silage system,
take a look at the big, white Butler
Stor-N-Feed®
Here's up to 1128 tons of "oxygen
free" storage for corn silage, or 620 tons
for low moisture silage—plus Butler's ex
clusive, maintenance free breathing system
Ho breather bags to replace, no relief
valves to let air in.
Efficient top unloader is easily serv
iced. Delivers more silage, faster, than
bottom unloaders ... and with only five
horsepower.
Bright, white finish reflects heat—
minimizes gas expansion.
Price for the Butler Stor-N Feed® sys
tem? You’ll be amazed. Thousands of
dollars less than some systems. There’s
an equally efficient and economical sys
tem for high moisture gram, too And
Butler offers low cost deferred payment
terms and lease plans.

Hinish said.
RESEARCH PHASE
The new soil testing program
will also include o research
phase, the specialist empha
sized. Computers will make it
possible to automatically Store
analytical data. Periodically,
studies will be made using this
information These will include
the nutrient status of counties
and townships and their soil
types, and the relationship of
potassium and magnesium.
This data will be very useful
in increasing crop production
in localized areas.
“Certainly there will be
many other computer uses as
we learn the benefits of this
machine,” he said. “It will as
sist us in organizing data and
coordinating the tools which
give us control over our en

Save Money On Milk
Serve all the milk you need and still
budget food money.
Milk bought at stores costs one to three
cents less in some areas than milk delivered
to the home.
Buying milk in certain quantities regu
larly rates a discount from some dairies.
Check to see if it costs less to buy the
same quantity of milk but in larger contain
ers.
Skim milk, buttermilk, and evaporated
milk cost less than whole fresh milk
Mixing equal parts of whole fresh milk
and reconstituted milk saves money. THOMAS
