" re 6s =L wy A hy Ny Gk bs HE SN PA URE EH Ei ab (n Free soil testing is another AERO Fertilizer Service designed to help you increase your crop profits and productiveness of your soil. Here are some simple tips to follow in taking a soil test and obtaining the most value from it. Remember a soil test can be no better than the samples submitted for testing -- follow this guide carefully so that when your soil sample is analysed the best possible recommendations can be made. HOW TO TAKE A SOIL SAMPLE 1 Call us for full information. We can provide you with complete details on the best sampling procedures to follow for your area. 2 Sampling tools are important. A soil auger is generally the best tool to use when taking soil samples, however, a spade or trowel will also do the job. As an extra AERO Fertilizer service we have soil augers available for your use -- call us for details. Make sure the pail you use for collecting samples is perfectly clean so that samples won't become contaminated. 3 Divide Fields Evenly for Sampling -- A good rule of thumb is that each sample should represent no more than § -- 10 acres. Areas that have different histories e.g. crop growth, soil texture, or past fertilizer management should be sampled separately. 4 Avoid Taking Samples from Unusual Areas -- Avoid taking samples from such areas as windbreaks, dead furrows, levelling areas, new tile runs, marshy areas ncar trees, etc. If you want fertilizers for such areas be certain your sample comes from the strip and is so marked. 5 Sample evenly from each area -- Follow these tips -- (a) scrape away surface litter, (b) insert auger to plow depth (c) take 15 samples from each area and PLACE IN CLEAN PAIL (d) if sampling from where row crops are planted take soil from between rows. 6 Sampling with a Spade ? -- Follow these tips -- (a) Dig a V-shaped hole to plow depth (b) Cut a ¥% inch thick slice of soil from face of hole. (c) Trim away soil from both sides of spade leaving a 1-inch strip of soil down the middle of the spade. (d) Place samples in a clean pail. --_ CcYANAMID > ane Cyanamid of Canada Limited, Montreal 2, Que. ® Trademark Registered e000, w ® ®e000000°® PRODUCT OF Bs Bn a JONTGUESS 7 Mix Samples thoroughly in a Clean Pail -- Fill the soil test box you have obtained from your AERO Fertilizer Manufacturer.
