out the information sheet that
accompanies a representative
sample to the laboratory.
Still another advantage of
fall testing is that the testing
laboratory is not as rushed at
this time of year and results
will be available early so that
fertilizer can be ordered well
in advance of the time it will
be needed.
The soil test is a fertility
gauge for the farm. 1t tells how
much and what major plant
nutrients are in the soil, what
kind of fertilizer and how
much is needed, and where it
is needed.
Only on the basis of a soil
test can an intelligent recon-
mendation be made on the
kind and amount of fertilizer
that is required.
For farmers who have never
taken soil samples the county
extension office has informa-
ton on how to do it. Also, the
office has a supply of the in
formation sheet which accom-,
panies the sample for testing

markets.
Our food dollar pays for
transportation of food across
continents and oceans. Much
of the cost of transportation is
offset by the trimming and
removal of waste. For exam
pie frozen orange and pineap-
pie juices are cheaper than
those that can be prepared in
the kitchen.
Both the food dollar and the
tax dollar pay for important
research into methods of pro
ducing better products and the
storage, packaging and trans
portation of these foods. An
example of this is apples which
are put into storage "hiberna-

or vacuum cooking of lettuce.

Sample Soils This Fall

Fall sampling of soil for test
ing has a number of advantage
es for the farmer. For one
thing a better sample can
usually be obtained because
there is no frost or mud to
contend with as is often the
case when sampling is done in
spring.
Another advantage is that
