! Soil Testing Service Available
to County Farmers

Research workers and practical
farmers have demonstrated that
testing soils is of great help in
determining the soils need for
plant foods such as calcium, mag
nesium, phosphorous, and potash
as well as others is the report
of Edward H. Schabinger, New
Castle County agricultural agent.
The University of Delaware,
through its Agricultural Exten-
sion Service provides a free soil
testing service. In addition, re-
commentator will be made bas-
ed on the results of the soil tests,
for the proper application of lime
and fertilizer on the crops to be
grown during the coming season.
This service has helped many
farmers throughout Delaware to
grow better crops more efficient
ly. Interested farmers are invited
to a. bring soil samples from
each field to the County agents
Office; (2) list the crops to be
grown in each field; 81 keep a
record of the sample numbers so
the fields can be identified.
1t takes about 10 days to two
weeks to complete the tests and
get report along with recon-
mendatfons back from the Uni
versity. With this fact in mind it
is important to get the samples
in during the winter months in
order to have the information
well ahead of the planting sea-
son..
Mr.. Schabiner would also like
to point out that this service is
alse available to the home owner
to help him with his lawn and
garden problems.
