WINTER MONTHS
GOOD TIME FOR
SOIL TESTING
By CHARLES S. TUCKER
County Agent
Now is a good time to collect
soil samples in preparing for the
planting of gardens, lawns and
crops. It normally takes about
three months for lime to begin
reacting with other chemicals
| in the soil for use by plants. By
applying lime now, it will be
[ available to plants that will be
planted this spring. Lime is
very essential in our area for
good plant production. It makes
other plant food, such as phos
phate and potash, more avail
able to the plant. Once the lime
requirement has been met on
an area, then a soil sample
should be taken every three
years to determine if it is neces
sary to add additional lime-
stone.
To make soil testing more
available in the county, during
1962 several soil test stations
were set up. These stations are
located at Smith Hardware in
Forest Park; Luther Murphy,
Morrow; Swint’s Feed and Gar
den Supply Store, Jonesbord,
and all agricultural agencies in
the Courthouse Annex in Jones
boro. One may obtain soil test
tubes, bags and information
sheets for collecting a soil
sample. The soil sample will be
picked up at the station by Ex
tension agents and carried to
the Experiment Station for
chemical analysis. The soil test
report will be mailed back to
the individual with fertilizer
and lime recommendations. If
the soil sample is collected,
when the soil is wet, it is best
to spread the soil out and allow
it to air-dry before putting it
into the soil test bag.
Internal Revenue advised that
it must have your social security
number on the return when you
file your federal income taxes
this year.

Soil Conservation Activities
By TOM COLE
SOIL, WATER AND PEOPLE
are the THREE basic assets of
GODs’ planet we know as the
earth. Without the first two no
life could exist as they are the
source of food, fiber and other
natural resources. Land and
water are also bought and sold
as commodities along with the
many agricultural products that
are produced, processed and
placed on the market for con
sumption and use by people.
How we, the people use and
treat soil and water is the gauge
or yard-stick that determines
the quantity and quality of
products they can produce. These
basic assets also govern the
economic standards of a com
munity, county, state and the
nation. The question is often
ask— “Why should I be in
terested or what can I do”?
Let's do a little common sense
thinking—How could the many
large industries get the raw ma
terials such as cattle, hogs and
1 poultry for the many retail meat
counters in stores if some farm
ers did not produce them. How
could the printers have your
morning, evening and weekly
paper with the news if trees were
not grown and properly managed
that produce the pulp from
which paper is made. Look at
the people that earn their
daily pay from handling these
commodities in transportation,
processing, packaging, selling
through wholesale and retail
outlets. These are a few ex
amples of why soil and water
conservation and use are of vital
importance to every person.
Congratulations to the soil and
water conservation farmers of
CLAYTON COUNTY who are
following a soil and water con
servation plan on your farm in
the good job and part you con
tributed in making the present
and future use of the land you
own or manage more produc
tive. The UPPER OCMULGEE
RIVER DISTRICT SUPERVIS
ORS wish you a better success
in 1963.
