Care in tak-ing soil sample is essential. Soil tests can be only as good as the sample you send to the laboratory. Poor samples cause the greatest errors in soil testing. Soil scientists suggest these strps for taking samples: 1. Select an area that is uniform in color and soil texture and has had a similar cropping and fertilizer treatment. 2. Use a sampling tube, auger or shovel to remove a small core from the surface to plow depth. Take 10 to 14 such cores over an area not exceeding 10 acres. 3. Mix the cores representing one soil area thoroughly in a clean pail. Spread out the final mixture to dry. Use enough of this mixture to fill one soil carton. A pint of soil is needed for soil testing. 4. Stay away from fertilizer bands in row crops, from farm lanes, field borders, sand ridges and areas within 100 feet of gravel roads. 5. Avoid mixing soils that are light and dark colored, or those that have a different cropping his-tory or past fertilizer treatment.

It is completely necessary that inorganic fertilizers be used. ganic form, but they are converted to the inorganic form before a plant can use them. The plant can-not detect the difference between nitrogen coming from a compost heap and nitrogen being supplied by ammonia nitrate. The inorganic form of fertilizer is generally sup-plied as commercial fertilizer am-monia sulphate, ammonia nitrate, or super-phosphat- Research has been done on a world-wid- e basis to study the effect of commercial fertilizers and their relationship to man and animals, and no evidence has ever been brought forth indicating that a detrimental effect could be found from the use of these products. All the accounts against their use, from a health point of view, are com-pletely unfounded and are baaed MISCONCEPTION ON FERTILIZER NOTED BY UTAH STATE UNIVERSITY According to scientists at Utah State University, a problem has arisen in which some people will not accept the use of consumption crops if commercial fertilizer has been used. This has been brought to their attention by various food plant organizations, by organic farmers and by a series of individ-uals who are either uninformed or misinformed. " Plants do not use plant nutrients in the organic form as is a popular concept of number of people.

Called "The Program That Pays" and based on latest research studies by leading colleges and uni-versities here in the Intermountain West, 6mm color-soun-d motion pictures, booklets and long range crop planning guides are offered without charge by U. S. Steel and local nitrogen fertilizer dealers and scientific methods for raising rugar beet yields are con-tained in a film called "This Busi-ness of Beets" which is available for showings before farm organi-zations, business and professional groups. Other U. S. Steel motion pic-tures designed to help the busy farmer keep up to date include "Growing Profitable Corn," which presents research findings of west-ern agricultural colleges and ex-periment station workers and re-sults obtained by successful farm-ers; "Profit on the Mountains," outlining a practical, workable way for the typical mountain meadow rancher to multiply his production per acre three or four times and his profits even more; and "Profit- - able Potatoes", illustrating how many farmers obtain yields of 300, 400 or more sacks per acre by following recommended farm prac-tices including adequate fertiliz- - tion. ' Prints of the films and special crop booklets may be obtained by writing Agricultural Extension, U. S. Steel Corporation, 919 Kearns Building, Salt Lake City I, Utah.
