WEEKLY LETTER.
Bureau of Mines, Manufactures and
 Agriculture.

Soil improvement is the most im- ,portant thing to the farmer and land owner. We all know that it takes as much or more labor to cultivate poor soil as it does rich, while the ooor soil makes poor crops and keeps the farm CTS poor and hardworked. It is the essence of economy and good business to keep building up the soil. I want to see all the farmers well-to-do, their homes comfortable and happy and their children educated. To bring about this condition the soils must be improved, otherwise the rich soils will get poor and the poor soils will cease to yield, and our farmers will get poorer. The easiest way to keep up the soil is to put ground limestone on where needed, and to plant more clov- CTS, cowpeas, soy beans, velvet beans and alfalfa. Most of our soils have enough potash if it were available but in a hard-packed or sour soil it is not Put on the lime to sweeten and loosen the soil, and turn under all stalks, weeds and grasses to add organic matter. Lime your land and turn under a crop of clover, cowpeas or soybeans, and then if needs Ee use ground bone, acid phosphate or phos- phorus in any form, and you will have greatly improved soil and grow better crops. Most of our soils need lime, but not all In order that the farmers may know if their soil needs i lime and how much for the different crops, have arranged to make soil tests for the farmers. If you want your soil tested to see how much lime you need send me a sample, will test it and let you know. The way to take sample is to use spade. Spade out 1 one spadeful and cast is aside. Then shave off slice about an inch thick and about six inches deep. Lay this out to dry. Take samples in the same way from several different parts of the field. When they are all good and dry, pulverize them and mix well. Then take out about pound of the sample and send to me for the test. This will give you a good average for your field. l will tell you if your soil has lime, and how much you need for the different crops.
 Save all the manure this winter and spread it on the land in the spring.

 Commissioner of Agriculture.
