Harold Kerr, Morrow County Extension Agent, tested soil samples each lone Garden Club member and guest brought to their October meeting at Pat Pettyjohn's ranch home. PH is a measure of the degree of alkalinity or adicity of the soil. Kerr stated, "Soil in South Morrow County is quite uniformally alkaline and can be remedied by adding 2 tons of gypsum per acre." Jean Nelson, President gave the program "Your Soil and the plants it will grow." Alkaline soils can also be improved with peat moss, ground bark, pine needles or sawdust and acid type fertili zers. Preparation soil for plants is very important. Lawns need a topsoil depth of 6 to 8 inches for good roots, annual plants 8 to 10 inches, perennials and small shrubs 18 to 24 inches. Large shrubs and trees need holes 2 times as wide and deep as the roots. Compost materials aged 3 to 6 months are good soil builders plus mulching material. : Assisting the hostess was Norma Rea.
