the fact that 395 samples of soil
were brought into the office for
testing for limestone require
ments and that the average re
quirement was 1.1 tons per acre.
In 1946 we tested 253 samples
which showed the same average
requirement. This testing is just
another routine office task which
is increasing in proportion, but
we think it is worth while and
have now added equipment for
making tests for phosphate re
quirements.
Ottaway is in charge of soil
testing and, since he must spend
considerable time in the field, a
period of several days may
elapse between time of receiving
samples and date of test. Samples
should be dried before bringing
them to the office. Otherwise

Establishment of a retail lum
her yard at Wilmington, Ohio, as
an outlet for lumber . products
was announced last week by
Harry Barger of Barger Mills
Inc., upon his return from a
two weeks business trip in the
east.
Mr Barger stated that the yard
at Wilmington was the first of
several eastern retail yards the
company plans to establish in
the near future. He expressed
the belief that this expansion
program would result in more
efficient distribution of the firm's
lumber products, make possible
better planning of operations to
reduce seasonal slack periods,
and stabilize the company’s mar
ket in the future.
. . . and may your list
of friends grow into a
long parade this year.
