Winter is the time to have your
soil tests made or to arrange for
them as soon as good samples can
be taken, according to the experts.
Testing laboratories, whether at
university, Experiment Station,
county headquarters or privately
operated as by food professors,
have seasonal peak periods when
volume of tests may slow service,
just when the farmer wants speed.
It is possible, to sample the soil
any time of the year that good
samples can be obtained, advises
DR.. Roy D. Bronson, in charge of
soil testing at Purdue University.
''The farmer must think as far
ahead about soil testing as he does
when he plants his corn in June
in expectation of October harvest.
Research work indicates that sea-
sonal variations in soil tests are
small enough to be ignored -"
Dig OEVWSu
How important professional
testing of soil fertility has become
is evident from some of the uni
versity statistics. Since Purdue
established a central laboratory,
test count rose from 1000 in 1851
to over 10000 in 1858. At the Uni
versity of Maryland, Extension
soils specialist DR.. Frank L. Bentz,
Jr., reports 10000 samples tested
in 1853 as compared with 5000
in 1916, and service expanding
with a complete new laboratory
and much new automatic equip
ment.
In Illinois, with some 30 county
laboratories and about 20 CONNER
cial ones, 100000 acres were
tested last year for acidity, potas-

Dairynen's Tour
Termed Success

The dairymens farm building
tour was termed a success by the
78 persons who participated.
Main point of interest was the
labor saving milking parlors. One
man told that he milks % to 26
cows in little more than an hour.
The milk is piped directly from
the mixer to the cooler. 1t is not
subjected to the air or touched by
human hands.
Henry Holzhauer, manager of g
Toledo dairy praised farmers fol-
the fact that the quality of milk
improves every year.
Farmers interested in herd test
ing were shown low cost way to
weigh the milk from every COW
still using the pipeline. This was
demonstrated at the Fred Grieger
farm. The Lazy U Farm operated
by Emerson Fillmore also has
weigh tanks specially made to op.
crate with his mixer combine.
One of the main points of inter
est at the Carl Bensch farm was
the above ground silo filled with
hay silage.
The tour was sponsored by the
Dairy Service Unit, in cooperation
with the Extension Service.

sium and phosphorus, according to
soil fertility professor DR.. r. H.
Bray, University of Illinois.
Laboratory testing of soils for
their content of plant nutrients is
rapidly becoming very important
to both efficient crop production
and soil conservation" says
Charles E. Kellogg, chief, Soil
Survey, us. Soil Conservation
Service. Although a soil survey
gives basic description of
the soil and its probable nu-
TRENT deficiencies and responses
to fertilizers, precise fertilizer
needs depend on past cropping
history and crops to be grown.
BY having proper tests made on
well selected soil samples and
results properly interpreted a
skilled agriculturist can make a
much better recommendation for
farmers than without the tests"
Now World Wide
Interest in soil testing is "defin-
itely on the increase all over the
world" notes DR.. E. r. Purvis of
Rutgers University. He cites, too,
major progress" in research on
minor or trace elements, whose
growing Importance is also men,
toned by DR.. K. c. Berger at the
University of Wisconsin.
Speaking in terms of canning
crops, DR.. Berger says that vege-
table growers these days need
maximum profit yields, and that
improper balances of nitrogen,
phosphate and potash not only are
wasteful but can actually reduce
yields. And, though the need for
lime and fertilizer is widespread,
these materials are wasted when
soils are not tested.
