Soil Testing Results
Please Negro Formers

Several progressive Negro farm
erS have whole-heartedly endorsed
soil testing after seeing the re-
suits.
Soil testing has shown its i'm
portance to me-. says Cleveland
Gore of Fayetteville, Route 5. And
it's easy to see why. BY following
soil testing division recommended
tions he increased his tobacco yield
10 per cent and saved money on
fertilizer.
Last year in following recon-
mendations made on the basis of a
soil test, he used 900 pounds of A.
$40 fertilizer to replace 1850 lbs.
per acre of 1876, his usual fer
tiliZer type and amount.
Gore plans to continue testing
soils and carrying out other i'm
proved practices to cut production
costs while increasing production
of most crops.
In Gates County. F. A Williams
and Joseph Hayes of Eure are
equally enthusiastic about the val

The 1854 Amendments to the
Social Security Act extend old-age
and survivors insurance to over
three and a half million farm op-
orators - people farming for

l. 1855. Mr.. Joseph P. Walsh. Dis

ators who clear as much as S400.O 90

security credits in much the same

the beginning of 1851 These cred

annual gross earnings over $1,000
must figure his actual net earn
