A) 587 1181 Soil Sample Tests Told LAKEVIEW Forty soil samples taken in Lake County last year indicate a need for phosphorus, according to Oris Rudd, county ex tension agent. The annual summary of soil test results shows that 47.5 per cent of the samples analyzed were low in available phosphorus. Twenty per cent of the samples were mod erately well supplied and the re maining one third were well sup plied with phosphorus. Another significant bit of infor mation shown in the summary was the fact that 77 per cent of the samples analyzed showed neutral or acid reaction. Half of the sam ples showed soil reaction of below pH 6.5 which is the lower limit for good alfalfa prduction. Six of the soils sampled re quired one ton of lime per acre to correct acidity for good alfalfa production, and one soil needed two tons of lime for good alfalfa growth. The 40 samples analyzed this year represent 620 acres of land in the Westside and Adel areas, principally. Either excess soil acidity or low phosphorus will curtail alfalfa growth, Rudd slated, and soil test ing will 'point out either problem if it exists. Farmers interested in having their soil analyzed may contact the county extension office for as sistance. All samples are mailed through the county agent's office to the Oregon State College soil testing laboratory and the analysis report is relumed to the county agent. He assists farmers in in terpreting test results and advises on fertilizers needed. Promotion Given Ranger LAKEVIEW Clayton Weaver, forest supervisor of the Fremont National Forest, has announced the appointment of John M. Picro- vich to fill the vacancy created by Ihe transfer of Forrest Jones who was promoted to a position in the Portland Regional Office of Ihe Forest Service.
