Farmers Report
Soil Testing Pays
At Harvest Time
It pays to follow soil test, lime
and fertilizer recommendations,
says P. J. Bergeaux, Extension
agronomist at the University of
Georgia.
To back up this statement, Mr.
Bergeaux cited the results of a
questionnaire returned by 414
randomly selected farmers in
Georgia who had tested their soils.
Following soil test, lime and ferti
lizer recommendations was profit
able on all crops, he said. “For
instance, farmers who followed
lime recommendations on cotton,
after deducting extra lime and
harvesting cost, had $13.80 more
income per acre than farmers
who did not follow lime recom
mendations.”
Following fertilizer rec om
mendations also paid off. After
deducting extra fertilizer and
harvesting costs farmers who fol
lowed fertilizer recommendations
completely had the following in
creased per acre income over
those farmers who did not fol
low fertilizer recommendations:
Cotton, $24.00; pastures, $16.00;
oats, $12.00; peanuts, $9.25, and
corn, SB.OO.
Newton Buckner, Fulton Coun
ty, was one of the farmers re
turning the questionnaire. Mr.
Buckner completely followed soil
test, lime and fertilizer recom
mendations on his Costal Ber
muda field. He used two tons of
lime and 600 pounds of 5-10-15
fertilizer per acre and top dress
ed with 300 pounds of nitrogen.
“Following soil test, lime and
fertilizer recommendations more
than tripled my production on
Costal Bermuda,” he said.

Census Bureau Is
Always on the Job
Contrary to popular belief, the
U. S. Census Bureau does not fold
its tents and fade away between
the big 10-year population and
housing counts, according to Di
rector Thomas W. McWhirter of
the Bureau’s permanent regional
field office at Atlanta. The At
lanta region covers the States of
Alabama, Florida, Mississippi and
part of Tennessee.
Mr. McWhirter points out that
nine major censuses will be con
ducted between now and the next
decennial census in 1970. The first
of these major censuses will be
the 1962 Census of Governments
which is conducted every five
years. Then comes the five-year
Censuses of Business, Manufactur
es and Mineral Industries. These
will be taken in 1964 and 1969,
covering business operations in
1963 and 1968 respectively. The
Census of Agriculture will be
conducted in 1964 and 1969.
In addition to these major cen
suses, the Bureau carries out a
wide variety of current surveys
on a monthly, quarterly, and an
nual basis. Topics covered in the
current surveys include employ
ment and unemployment, popu
lation characteristics, health, hous->
ing, retail and wholesale trade,
manufacturing, and related sub
jects. The purpose of the current
surveys is to supplement and keep
up to date the detailed informa
tion collected in the major cen
suses.
The Current Population Survey,
conducted 12 times a year, is
probably the best known Census
Bureau interim activity since it
provides monthly information on
employment and unemployment.
Information obtained by inter
views in 333 sample areas of the
country is combined *o furnish
statistics for national estimates.
Information on migration income,
school enrollment, and other per
tinent subjects is collected from
time to time in the Current Popu
lation Survey in addition to the
facts on employment and un
employment.
Approximately 35,000 house
holds throughout the country are
included each month in the Cur
rent Population Survey. These
households are selected at random
under the Census Bureau’s
scientific sampling program to
provide a representative cross
section of all classes of the popu
lation, and all types or areas of
the country — large cities, small
towns, rural areas, and so forth.
