New Soil Testing J Proper Treatment
Service Available O f Cancer Could
To Oregon Farmer Save Thousands
A w w soil testing service is
now available to Oregon farm­
ers, according to Dan Evans,
soil scientist in charge of the
soil physics laboratory at the
Oregon State College.
The new service will measure
two physical qualities of soil
the approximate amount of wat­
er the soil will hold one day
after a heavy rain or complete
irrigation, and the amount of
water still in the soil when the
plants wilt from lack of avail­
able moisture.
The amount of water in the
soil between these two measure­
ments is the amount the soil can
hold available for plant use. And,
since soils vary greatly in this
usable water-holding capacity,
these measurements will help
soils specialists and county a-
gents make recommendations for
more efficient irrigation water
and commercial fertilizer applic­
ations.
For instance, farmers in irrig’
ated areas who install the
essary measuring equipment will
be able to use the results of the
new test to determine much
more accurately when to irrig­
ate and how much water to ap-
ply, Evans explains. This should
help irrigators get the best poss-
ible yields with the least possible
water and labor costs.

them to seek medical advice at
the first danger signal.”
The society's public education
program is "an illustrious ex­
ample of a concerned public tak­

waiting for the government or

for it," the Curry county chair­
man stated, explaining that con­
