Teachers Dig In Three Counties, As
They Learn In 7iuo Weeks Soil Course

AMELIA, July IA A two
weeks course in identifying and
managing the soils TO this area
was completed on Friday, July
g.. The course was taught at the
Amelia High Vocational Agricul-
ture Department by H. C. Porte
# the Agronomy Department of
VPI.
Twenty six persons from a
dozen or more counties took the
curse. Persons attending repre-
7ented the Health Department
who were interested in the drain
age capabilities of various sol
pes, the Federal Land Bank
he Extension Service and in
structors of Vocational Agricul-
ARE who were in the majority
Most Of the time was spent in
actually identifying soils in the
field. Porter, who is credited
With knowing more about the
soils of Virginia than any other
man. had his class enthusiast
cally digging in the soils of
Amelia, Powhatan, and Prince
Edward counties. In all, over two
dozen soils were closely ex-
amined from top to bottom. After
identifying the soils, Porter gave
on the spot information concern
ing the native fertility of the
soil and what 1t was best suited
to produce along with recon-
mended management.
The course, which the class
thought to be one Of the most
useful thay had had, will enable
them to be of greater service to
area farmers in selecting the
best crop for a particular soil
type. One of the activities dur
ing the last day of the course
was the taking and mounting of
soil profiles for use in the class
room when studying soils with
FLA boys.
Bob Lane, vo-ag teacher at
Amelia High School, took SINH
lar course in Lunenburg county
two years ago and when the ex-
tension service said they wanted
to have one in the Amelia county
area, Lane made arrangements
to hold the class here, as he
felt it would be of great value to
area farmers.
In appreciation of his efforts
and the enthusiasm he inspired.
the class presented Porter with
a handsome brief case at the
conclusion of the course on Fri
day.
