TO TEST SOIL
This is an annual thought,
but the fall is a very good
time to draw soil samples
and get them tested before
winter sets in. When the
needs of the soil are known in
the fall, the grower will have
more time to place fertilizer
orders, and in some cases,
will benefit from special
discounts for early ordering.
The accuracy of the test
showing the needs of the soil
will be just as good when
taken at this time of the
year, as next spring. No
doubt more prompt reports
will be received by doing the
testing this fall; the, spring
months brings a rush and
pressure on the testing
laboratory. Testing en
velopes are available from
any County Extension office,
or many commercial con
cerns will do soil testing.
Don’t wait until next spring
to leam the fertilizer needs
of the fields.
