Yam Mart To Remain Open
For Another Week Or More

Most sweet potatoes in this area
have been sold but officials OF
the local yam auction market an
nounced this week that so long
as some potatoes continued to be
brought in, sales would continue
in Tabor City. Sales will probably
continue for a week or ten days.
The exceptionally warm fall has
made it possible for farmers to
dig vans without danger OF cold
hurt as has been the case in late
harvesting in the past. This has
made it possible for the local
market to continue selling Unfairly
large quantities thus far.
The market is well past last
years total sales with 29l,674
bushels sold through last Saturday
at an average price of $4.08 per
bushel. The total amount paid
out for potatoes by the local mar
ket is $1,19O,552.78, through last
Saturday.
The Tabor City market sold
254,0OO bushels last season at an
average price of $3.86 per bushel.

Changes Made
In Soil Sampling

Two important changes have
been made ms submitting samples
of soil far testing by the soil
sampling laboratory of the State
Department of Agriculture, &C
cording to Charles Raper, Colum-
bus County farm agent for the
State College Extension Service.
Mr.. Raper emphasized that by
early sampling farmers will be
assured of having soil test results
and recommendations before plac-
ing next years order for lime and
fertilizer.
The changes in the procedure
follow:
There have been two changes in
the procedure for getting soil
samples tested:
First, the information blank has
been revised. This new sheet is
designed to give more information
on soil type, drainage, slope, and
crop rotations to be followed. This
information will be used to help
interpret soil test results as
partial substitute for subsoil
samples. Therefore, it is very i'm
portant that these blanks be filled
in as completely as possible.
Second, subsoil samples are no
longer necessary. To obtain a soil
sample that will be representative
of the area you want tested take
a small uniform core Cor slice) Of
soil from the surface to a depth
of about 6 inches in Is or 20 spots.
All of these cores should be COM
bined or put in one box and prop
erly labeled. Small areas that diff
fer in color, texture or drainage
should be avoided or sampled sep
arately. More complete instruction
are given on the back of the new
information sheet.

Soil Fumigation
Nv DIR. C. E. Dieter, Nematologist
The Dow Chemical Company

A primary requirement to pro-
duce satisfactory crops is healthy
plant root system. Many pests
which inhabit the soil are inJurl-
GUS to root systems and interfere
with their normal growth. Appli-
cations of soil fumigants is a re-
Gently developed means OF con-
trolling these destructive soil-in-
habiting pests.
Soil fumigation for the under
ground portions of the plant may
he compared to the application OF
insecticides and fungicides to the
top growth. The control OF nema-
tode and insect pests of roots IS
as necessary for good plant growth
as control of insects and diseases
of fruit and foliage. Soil tumlga-
ton is not a substitute for good
cultural practices but it is part
of such practices where condl-
tions warrant its use. With few
exceptions soil fumigants are ap-
piled prior to planting to allow
aeration and prevent possible
plant injury.
Soil fumigants, applied in the
soil, will volatilize, diffuse and
destroy or greatly reduce nema-
todes, insects and diseases which
interfere with normal root deve-
lopment. Increases in quantity
and quality of marketable crops
of from so to 1909 have been re-
ported following fumigation OF
! ematode-infeSted soils.
