This worth while effort is being sponsored by Clemson College in Cooperation with the National Plant Food In stitute. Why is soil testing important? First of all, a farmer has no way of being certain he is fertilizing his crops correctly without a soil test. Also a soil test will indicate what kind of fertilizer should be used on each type of soil for the crop to be grown. The need for lime on any field is determined by a soil test. A recent report of the Agro nomy Department at Clemson Col lege lists nine major problems existing in South Carolina in the field of crops and soils. Six of these major problems are either directly or indirectly the result of too little or improper use of ferti lizers. A soil test can be a valuable guide to any farmer in planning for more profitable farming. We believe it is of great value that Newberry County has been chos en for this soil testing program. It can be the basis for an increas ed agricultural income which will benefit everyone in Newberry County. More detailed information on this subject will be given later. We know farmers and everyone will want to cooperate with us in reach ing every farm in the county. Garden Reminders Most folks have their gardens off to a good start. However in sects are already a problem in these gardens. Leaf eating insect* so far are the most damaging ones. DDT and Rotenone are still good insecticides to control these pests on most crops. Everyone likes to grow toma toes. There is a commercial pro duct available known simply as Tomato Dust that contains DDT and Copper. It will do a good job of controlling* insects on tomatoes as well as keep down tomato blight. Malathion is another good insecticide for garden use. A good dusting or spraying once each week will do wonders* toward preventing insect dam age. Do not apply DDT to any plant foliage that is to be eaten or to any vegetables within three weeks of harvest. NOTICE Notice is hereby given that three (3) days after the date hereof, the undersigned will apply to the Secretary of State for a charter for a corporation to be known at “Citizens Preferred In surance Agency, Inc.” with its principal place of business in the City of Newberry, County of New berry, and State of South Carolina.
