One bundled years of research
in soil chemistry and soil fer
tility are developing a new ap
proach to soil testing, the thud
achievement of its type in this
centuiy
The new method, being de

University, will deteimme soil

ll lents directly for each

present systems, crop needs are
estimated from an inventory of
some extractable nutnent ele
ments related to soil conditions
The new soil test will utilize a
chemical solution which, when
perfected, will contain the mini
mum amounts and balance
among elements required by
plants Removal of ions from
the solution by soil indicate the
need for fertilizers at a given
time. Dr Baker explains The
amount of each ion removed
iiom the solution by the soil
will show directly the require
ments for a particular nutrient

NO MATTER
WHAT
A Career in Agri-Business
Offers a Rewarding Future
Agri-business has the answers to the big challenge of the
seventies.., feeding the poor and underprivileged in our
own country... exporting food and technical know-how to
help other countries solve their own food problems. Take
your pick of professions,.. there's a need for agriculturally
oriented people in all major industries, in government, in
teaching as well as the actual production of food and fiber.
if change is your challenge, agri-business is your field.
A career in agri-business will equip you to make a substan
tial contribution to humanity through service in the Peace
Corps and other agencies which supply technicians to other
countries.
One thing more. You don't need a farm background to fol
low a career in agri-business. Modern agriculture can be
and is learned in the classroom without benefit of exposure
to practical application.
Seitnce, Finance, Research, Teaching - you can "doyour thing" In
agriculture, it's the oldest and most basic industry and promises to b«
the most critical for many years to come.
