it enables him to view the pic-
lure of his land’s fertility in
relaton to the fertilizer ingre-
dents of nitrogen, phasphate,
potash and lmestone. The
vice is brought into the coun-
tes to make soil testing more
convenient for the farmers
and to enable them to talk
ever their soil problems with
the personnel of the unit
Rr ing farm costs and lower
prices for farm products make
it necessary to operate the

possible With increased cost
of produeton, the farmer must
scrutinize each cost of produc-
tlon, and fertilizer and lime
are one of his largest items of
cost in the production of his
products The efficient use
fertilizer and limestone,
through the use of soil testing
on each fi dri should enable the
farmer to rcnMze the greatest
income with the same amount
of labor, capital and operating
expenses.

Notes From The
American Legion
This week we are writing
| j about the building, building hall,
The or is your
‘home and it can be enjoyed
ivery much if you attend. We
jwant have a kitchen and if you
to eat out, just take your
food and prepare it.
^ we want to enlarge the
building and install rest rooms
to make it more convenient to
you and this will require money
to build with. We want to com
plete and modernize our kit¬
chen to make it a better place
to prepare food, that is, to be
lenjoyed by those who want it.
[ our building is of brick ve-
'neer and the hall Is ceil, d with
'a beautiful sycamore panell-
! jng. The floors are of hard-
wood and the electric lighting
f s In the most modern design,
This building, if it w'ere built
today, would cost around
1 530,000 and it is a pity it isn’t
being enjoyed bv more people
than it is now We should fill
it to its capacity and more, if
|neee,ssary.
Our home, Post 106, is the
most beautiful building I have
ever seen. We could make it
better and more beautiful if
we had more money to do with,
but by getting more money, we
have to get more members to
help. I promised $20.00 to help
install water fixtures but we
need much more than that to
get the job done. We must get
it done to help you and me in
making it a better home to go
to for a litle peace and quiet¬
ness .
Well, this Is all for this week
but I will try to have more for
next week I will try to write
next week about our auxiliary
v 'nnd their services.
While at work, driving or at
play, let’s remember to be care¬
ful, for the life you save may
be your own I wish each read¬
er the best of health and luck.
