Soils and Crops

A SOIL ANALYSIS is of little value
if the sample is not taken properly.
The sample should be representative
of the area 20 be tested The soil in one
location may look very similar to the
soil in another location Experience has
taught us that extreme variability may
be present within field, between fields
and especially between areas having
different cropping sequence over the
years. You cannot see plant nutrients
in the soil nor can you see the de-
gree of alkalinity or acidity
The results of soil test will be no
more accurate that the method used in
taking the soil sample. The following
procedure should be followed in taking
soil samples for testing:
l. Outline the areas in the field to be
sampled If crop growth over the en-
tire field has been quite uniform, only
one sample will be necessary IF dis
tinct differences in crop growth have
been noted within field, separate
sample should be obtained from each
area.
q Equipment necessary "a spade,
clean pail and mailing carton. Suitable
mailing cartons are 1-pound coffee cans
8. Collect the samples by digging
hole or V-shaped notch to q depth of
6 to inches Take thin shovel slice
and place in pail. Eight or ten shovel
slices should be taken at equally dis

an alkali situation to exist, you would
need a test for soluble salts or ICON

A chemical analysis is the only means
of obtaining an inventory of the avail

This inventory may indicate the treat

paid for
SPAIN certainly does what he is
paid for. and it might be said in
passing that he gets pretty good
pay. He's one of the highest sal
aried pitchers in the game. AS
for winning, no other National
League lefthander has ever won
20 or more games in six different
seasons.
Spain told The Sporting News
writer that perhaps he does
coast a little if he gets a pretty
good margin. But why not. he

PITCHES TO WIN

Manager Charlie Grimm of the
Milwaukee Braves calls Pitcher
Warren SPAIN the greatest left
handler in baseball today. And,
Grimm adds, one of the best any
time, anywhere.
There's some basis for Grimm S
evaluation. SPAIN has been 90
game winner n six of his major
league seasons. and twice he was
low in the earned-run department.
in 1947 with 2.33 and in 1858 with
2.10.
What is Spahn'S formula for
success? Well, it's simple one the
way he told it to a reporter for
The Sporting News. The story is
in the current issue.
Il only pitch to win" SPAIN
said. LET the no-hitterS and shut
outs fall where they may" That's
his all-incluSive formula stated in
about as few words as possible.
Technically" SPAIN said,

from the start, but 1 don't think
about it. After the first hit l kind

more. After the first run I ment-
ally decide that that should be all.

highly by the Washington man.

That's the one l wanted him
to get under his belt speaking Of
a victory over the Dodgers during
spring training). I wanted to give
the kid a psychological lift. and 1
think he got it. After all. he gave
up only one run in five innings
against a club that should win the
National League pennant. If he
can do that well against them, he
can do it against anybody-and
that's the point l wanted to get
across to him.
He doesn't need too much pol
iSh. He's inclined to let up a bit
take something off his fast ball
when he's in a jam. He doesn't
think they hit a 80 or 20 pitch in
certain spots, perhaps. and tries
to lay it in there. He'll have to
learn he can't give hitters that
much of a break. He'll have to
show a little better control.
Hes wicked to right-handed
hitters with that Sidearm stuff.

other spoiler was Richie AShburn
of the Phillies who topped ball
toward short and was safe by an
eyelaSh for the only hit of the
game.
The great lefty is "a years old
now. While his record now is re-
markable one. it might have been
much better had he not lost three
seasons while in the Army, or had
he been with club in the first di-
vision more often before the
Braves moved to Milwaukee. But
among his distinctions is his rec
ord of having had only one losing
season in the IS he has been in
Organized Ball. That was in 1851
when his record with the fourth
place Braves was IA won, l9 lost.
Even so, his earned-run average
that year was 2.98.
Only one major league club has

won. That's Brooklyn, which has

cess has been against Cincinnati,

to get 'em out enough for another
