With earnings at a high level,
the. rate of spending per family
was above average, Whatever
economic loss had been suls-
ltained during the general re-
cession of 1888 was wiped away
completely.
The facts and figures are re-
vealed in Sales Arrangements
new. copyrighted Survey of
Buying Power" covering all
parts Of the country They show
that consumer spending in
Farmville came to s.l3.395 900
in the year.
More Than Expected
The amount was considerably
more than was to have been ex-
pected on the basis Of pOpula-
ton. From that standpoint, To-
cal retail business should have
amounted to only .0027 per
cent Of the national volume.
Actually. however, it reached
.0062 per cent.
Most lines of business shared
in the general advance. which
was achieved despite the effects
of the steel strike. The credit
Tor 1t is given to confident
consuming public, which went
right ahead with its buying.
What made it possible was
the fact that they had more
money to spend. The survey
shows that net incomes locally,
after deduction for taxes,
m Q u n t e d to S7.830,00O. as
against a 1858 total of $7,402.-
900.
It was equivalent to S6.525
per household, an arithmetic
average arrived at by dividing
total income by number of
households.
Trade Is Key
With retail sales more than
earnings locally. it is apparent
that Farmville is used as a
trading center by people from
other areas.
The relative standing of COM
munitles with respect to pur-
chasing ability and business ac-
tivlty are shown through in
dexes of sales production"
which take into account such
factors as population and re-
tail sales.
The index rating for Farm
vile is given as $50, or 1870 per
cent above the national aver
age.
Most economists view the
near future with optimism.
They feel that good times are
ahead, although they no long
er see a boom in the offing
They point to the fact that
employment is at a high level,
that incomes keep rising in
most areas and that the de-
mand for goods continues
strong.

A So il Test Is
Only As Good As
A Soil Sample

County Agent Dudley L. Peery
says every farmer taking soil
samples sould be careful to
take a good sample. A good
sample is representative Of the
field to be tested and is taken
from number Of places in the
area.
A soil sample not represent
alive Of the field may result in
wrong test. and consequently
he wrong analysis and amount
)f fertilizer may be used. Also.
land may be lined that does not
need lime or it may not be lined
where needed. Lime and ferti-
'izer are two key factors in deter
mining the success of a crop.
In taking a soil sample, the
first step is to read suggestions
on the back of the soil record
sheet. These suggestions will
help you get representative
sample. You can get soil record
sheets and boxes from the coun-
~ agents office.
Take soil from 10 to 30 spots in
the field. Put in a clean bucket
or box, stir well and fill the soil
box. Combine samples that have
similar conditions and treat
ments. For crop land, take sam
pies pillow depth and for pastures,
take samples inches deep.
A spade, trowel, hoe, or soil
tube or auger can be used sue
cessfully- Do not take samples
under manure, decaying organic
matter, or litter and lime piles.
These places will be affected
by nutrients leached from the
materials. Samples should not
be taken when land is extremely
wet.
A soil sample represents many
million pounds of soil. Samples
must be taken carefully and pro-
perly if the results of the tests
are to be of any value. Be sure
to fill out the soil record sheet
as this information is valuable
in determining fertilizer and
lime needs.
Last year TIP soil samples
from Prince Edward county were
tested in the v P l Soil Testing
laboratory. A soil test can be a
valuable tool in determining the
fertilizer and lime needs.
