PHONE decorator Soil Samples Should Be Taken at Earliest LINCOLN Farmers should take soil samples as soon as pos sible if they want to obtain soil tests before spring planting time, a University of Nebraska agronomist warned here Monday. Wet, cold weather conditions have made it difficult to obtain soil samples this year, said Delno Knudsen, Extension agron omist. This fact serves to point up the need to get soil samples as soon as possible. "It's best to take soil samples when the ground is not exces sively wet, but it is possible to get samples when the soil is in this condition," the agronomist said. "A soil probe or auger may be used to obtain the soil sam ple." "Once wet, muddy samples have been taken, the soil should be spread out on paper and al lowed to dry without the addition of heat. When the soil is dry it should be mixed before taking the sample for testing. "Some samples reaching the Soil Testing Service are mushy," Knudsen said. "We wonder how well such samples have been mixed." Soil sample boxes and infor mation on taking soil samples can be obtained at County Ex tension Offices throughout Ne braska. County agents have a circular, E. C. 56-116, entitled: "How To Take Soil Samples." A period of 2 to 4 weeks is re quired to obtain soil tests through the University of Ne braska Soil Testing Service. Soil samples can be tested for nitro gen, phosphorus, potassium and lime. NEHAWKA Dr. R. R. Andersen is back at his office following a recent illness.

Feed Grain 'Eligibility' Based on a review of an earlier determination, growers of oats and rye will be able to obtain price support on these crops in 1962 without taking part in the 1962 Feed Grain Program. The program applies to corn, grain sorghum and barley. Ivan G. Althouse, chairman of the Cass Agricultural Stabiliza tion and Conservation Commit tee, points out that this is also a change from the 1961 program, when participation in the Feed Grain Program for corn and grain sorghum was required in order to be eligible for 1901 sup port on oats and rye. Corn, barley, and grain sor ghum producers, however, will be eligible for price support on these three crops only if they participate in the 1962 Feed Grain Program, the chairman emphasized. Corn and grain sorghum pro ducers will be eligible for support on these crops if they reduce their corn and grain sorghum acreage by at least 20 per cent and do not exceed their base acreage 11959-60 average) of barley.

THE PLATTSMOUTH. NEBRASKA, SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL Thursday, March 15, 1962 Section C PAOE FIVE State Capitol Guest List Is Growing, Year Around Hy Melvin Paul Statehouse Correspondent The Nebraska Press Association LINCOLN Stale officials are pleased with the turnout of weekend visitors to the Capitol. Robert Newell, superintend ent of buildings and grounds, says on 27 weekends in 1961, 32,514 persons toured the state's famous building. During all the weekdays of 1900 only 29,166 persons toured the Capitol, Ne well said. He added that the number of visitors on the weekends in 1961 justifies keeping the building open all day Saturday and Sun day, the year round. However, Newell hastened to comment that budgetary prob lems would be a factor in year round operation. As a sample, Newell picked a weekend when the weather was bad. He counted 240 visitors on a Saturday and 257 on Sunday, from Nebraska, Canada, Florida, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Col orado "That proves tourists come here the year round," Newell said, "not just in the summer." The Capitol is open from 2 p.m. until 4 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. Many people visit the struc ture on weekdays but Newell said these are not counted whereas on weekends his staff keeps a tally of the sightseers. In another area, the superint endent reported his work crew is busy daily cleaning Nebraska's most famous building. The latest to get the soap and water treat ment is the east lounge hearing room, used for meetings espe cially during the Legislature.
