The ioil tests can be made in thu winter time, provided the soil samples- are collected before the land becomes frozen. The plan then is to secure the samples during the next month No testing, however, will be done until after the Royal Winter Fair. How to Take Samples 1. .Samples may be taken at any time during the year. 2. If a composite sample must rep- resent the average soil in the field, then the soil samples should be taken from a number of places â€" one in every acre, approximately. 3. Should the soil vary in type to an extrenit; degree â€" such as a hig^i part of the field and a level flat ii: another part â€" two composite samples should be secured. 4. Remove any grass or rubbish on the sui'face. -A. spade or trowel can be use«i. 6. Make a verticle cut to a depth oi' 6 or 8 inches. Lift out this spade- ful and throw away. 7. Carefully take a thin slice dow the face of the cut. Put this in a box. 8. Do the same in other sections oi the field and place in the box wit- that already taken. 9. ^ftcr a sufficient number . samples have been taken. thorough!\ mix. It may be necessary to dry the sample so clods can be broken up, stones, etc., removed. 10. Do not dry with artificial heat. 11. After thorough mixing, sav'> about one pint. This can be sent or taken to the Department of Agricul- ture, Markdale, or left at some centri' where the samjiles can be collected. 112. All testing will be done free of charge. Any further information can be secured from T. Stewart Cooper. Markdale. It is hoped that a complete soil test .md map may be made of Grey County in the near future. Already an appli- cation has gone forward. Farmers :^re asked to co-opei-ate. It mi\\ prove the means whetstoy some soils suitable for growing .special crops may bo revealed.
