Supplementary Information
Important
Proper taking of the sample is
the first step in soil testing and the
second, and just as important, is the
supplementary information that ac-
companies the sample and station
workers say that this cannot be
overemphasized.
They point out that intelligent
recommendations on fertilizing and
soil management practices cannot be
made if little is known about the
field from which the sample was
taken-its cropping history, yields,
past management practices, wheth-
err it is irrigated or non-irrigated,
and SO or.
Surprising as it may seem, the
station receives many samples each
year on which there is no supple
mentary information. Sometimes it
is not even indicated whether the
sample is from a field or a garden.

formation may be recorded for each
sample.
After they are received at tho
experiment station the samples are
sent to the chemistry research de-
partment for the chemical analysis.
The results of these analyses are re-
turned to the agronomy and sod
department where recommendation
for treatment are made on the basis
of the analyses and the information
submitted with the sample.
The chemical report shows the
NpH" of the sample, which indicates
its acidity or alkalinity; the "con-
ductivity" of the sample, which is
a of the alkah or soluble
salt content of the soil; the avail
able phosphate on a scale of low,
medium DE- high; add total nitrogen
expressed as a percentage by weight
Lastly, station workers point out
that because of shortages of funds
and personnel for soil analysis work,
only a limited number of samples
can be handled. AS a result it re-
quires time to run a test-two weeks
at best and usually four to five
weeks. For this reason it is recon-
mended that samples be sent to the
station early in the fall so that the
tests may be made during the win
ter months and the results returned
to the producer in time for use in
the spring.

dry; and if we had the right
amount, he screams it came too
late to count. If he cannot find
any fact about the weather to
attack, then he discusses his great
fear that we've been ruined by
bugs this year.
The funny thing about the guy
is that, however loud his cry, his
crops are always twice as good
as others in the neighborhood.
He's got so much machinery his
work gets done when it should
be; his terraces and contoured
rows save water for the stuff he
grows, he fertilizes ev'ry crop and
uses chemicals to stop the weeds
and insects in his fields so they
don't cut down on his yields. Then
why does he complain and groan?

terest in the soil on their places as
is indicated by the increased num-
Der of soil samples being received
by the agronomy and soils depart
ment of the agricultural experiment
station at Montana State college for
testing.
However, since many samples ar
rive at the station either improperly
prepared or lacking the supplement
tary information needed in making
recommendations after the soil an
alysis has been made, station work
ers offer a number of suggestions
on how to take samples, pack them
for shipment and prepare the data
needed to accompany the sample.
First, the experiment station pre-
fers that wherever possible soil SAM
Piles be taken by county extension
agents or at least after consultation
with the agent. 1t may be that the
particular problem is not a soil
problem but an insect or disease
problem.
In general, station workers say, a
soil test is indicated if crops are not
growing normally for the area, or
if they are showing abnormal color
ing or abnormal growth symptoms.
Or the producer may feel that he
has an alkali problem that requires
a soil analysis.
Must Have Representative Sample
If a soil test is needed, taking of
the sample is the all-lmportant first
step. Unless the sample is truly
representative of the area of land
sampled, an accurate Interpretation
of the soil analyses cannot be made.
For this reason station workers rec
ommend these steps in sampling:
Select at least five spots where
native vegetation Or crop growth is
normal and in like manne select
the same number of spots in the
same field where there is abnormal
crop growth. Take five samples
from the normal area and mix them
to make a composite sample for the
area and do the same for the abnor-
NAL area.
For most locations a sample taken
to represent the pillow layer is suffi-
cient. However, where it is suspect
ed that the problem may be asso-
ciated with a soil layer at greater
depth, which is often the case with
alkali, a second sample should be
taken from a deeper horizon. AS a
rule "a inches is deep enough to go
for such a sample.
A soil auger is the best tool to
use for taking samples although a
spade may be used if an auger is
not available. When a spade is used,
dig holes in the five spots selected
and make each hole six inches deep.
Then cut a section two inches thick
from the surface to the bottom of
the hole.
Pint TO Quart of Sample
Between a pint and a quart of
sample is required to run the an
alysis necessary for most samples.
Often samples submitted are too
small in quantity for analysis. 1t is
also preferable that samples be mod
erately dry when sent. Sometimes
samples received by the station are
so wet that water is standing on the
surface and such samples have to be
dried before testing which results in
further delay.

Below normal temperatures are expected to predominant during
the first week and possibly the first few days of the second week be-
cause this forecast area is expected to be directly in the path of the
invading cold air masses. The temperatures are likely to be low
enough 81 that most of the moisture that does fall will be in the form
of snow. Any remaining green vegetation will probably be killed by
frosts during the period. The second week, particularly the last halt,
should see some excellent harvest weather.
Weather Changes
The month is expected to begin with a frontal disturbance, show
cry weather and a cold air mass to overrun Montana and Wyoming
for a few days of light to moderate precipitation and comparatively
low temperatures. The precipitation at this time should be heaviest
on the east side of the continental divide.
Rising temperatures arr due about the 9Th, followed by a frontal
disturbance expected to reach western Montana about the 9th and the
Dakota border a day IT so later. A sharp drop in the temperatures
and a day or two of light rain or snow are indicated throughout this
forecast area with the mountains and the areas west of the continental
divide faring best for moisture at this time.
A trend to dry and much warmer weather, especially daytmes, is
indicated to return to Montana Farmer-Stockman territory by Oct
18th o 18th and generally prevail to the 18th. At that time a frontal
disturbance is likely to reduce the temperatures somewhat as it crosses
Montana. Light precipitation may also occur, but mainly in Montana
at the end of the week

Major Blows Expected
To Be Struck Against
Nationalist StronghoIds
BY the Associated Press

HONG KONG. Sunday, Oct. %.
Chinese Communist
armies today were reported
streaming westward for major
blows at the last Nationalist
strongholds in Western and
Southwestern China.
Chinese press reports said the
second field army of Gen. Liu Po-
cheng, conquerer of Nanking, was
moving UP for an assault on Szech-
wan province, site of the refugee
capital of Chungking.
The accounts said Gen. Liu had
moved his field headquarters from
Marking to an undisclosed point,
presumably to direct the opera
tions.
The Communist forces Of Gen.
Lin Piao still were thrusting
Southwestward in pursuit Of the
200,000-man army of Gen. Pal
Chung-hsi, which is holed up in
Kwangsi, Southwestern Chinese
province.
Other Forces Moving. :.
AS the Reds neared the Kwangsi
border. the press reported Gen.
Pal had moved his headquarters
from Kweilin. the provincial cap
ital, to Yungning Nanning), with
in 100 miles of the Indo-China
border.
General Lin also was said to be
sending a second strong force due
westward toward the border of
Kweichow province. The aim
here seems to be split the Nation
alist forces. since Kweichow lies
between Kwangsi and Chung
kings Szechwan province.
1t is expected that Gen. Peng
Teh-huai's Communist armies in
northwest China will strike across
Szechwan's northern border to-
ward Chungking. This drive would
be synchronized with those of
Liu's and Lin's forces farther
south.
Nationalist Attacks Reported.

dispatch from Formosa said Ma

strafed troops and vehicles around
Canton and carried out other at
tacks at Hengyang. far, to the

Nationalist reports from Chung

ton, Gen. Chen Keng's Communist
forces were said by press dis
patches to be moving far north
