Conscience demanded effort to try and And out who was wrong and doing so quickly. This meant traveling all over the county, making repeat farm visits several times before finding the land owner at home, getting the job done ahead of falling snow. Cold—yes; disagreeable—yes, but no one cares about such things when they •feel they kre doing something worthwhile ... something that should help somebody. The more people you feel will be benefitted the greater the desire there is to do, (not just me,, any average person).
I first decided to check on test results that seemed '‘wrong” then got cautious and decided “brother you could be wrong yourself;” check those that seem right to you as well. ,
Soil samples were drawn from the first eleven results referred to above (six that looked right and five wrong).,
At on* farm where the soil test revealed a pH that looked “too high” on the original test the owner recalled that lime had been applied at the rate of two tons per acre in 1953 instead of none in the past three yean. Decided Td better get another sample anyway, the phosphate content looked tpo high when only 300 lbs of 2-12-12 had been applied in three years. Second tests showed pH almost the same as original test, phosphate content “low” instead of “very high”.
At another place where pH looked too high, since no lime had been applied in three yean, I found the soil to be Gritty Brandywine. This type soil does not require as much lime to sweeten it as do soils of higher clay content. Had it ever been limed?
