Mr. Carter would, like to have the
farmers of the Valley gather as many
stil samples as possible before the
ground freezes. This should be from
a cross section of the first six
inches of soil and taken from a
number of places in the field. It
should then be air dried. About a
cupful is required and containers
nft,y-be \ob‘tained from the Produce
Department. These Soil Tests will
oe run during the winter months. Mr.
Carter is interested in conducting
a growers school this winter and is
willing to make trips to the Vall-ey
for that purpose.
The f irst C01LD NORTH 7IND of the
