A soil test summary based on
387 soil samples from farms lo-
cated in the Fayette Soil Con-
servation District indicated that
all the soils of the District are
predominantly very, low to low in
organic matter. This summary in-
dicates that nearly all soils of the
District would respond to the app-
lication of nitrogen with nearly
all upland soils responding to the
application of phosphorous. For
more detailed information on this
soil test summary and soil test-
ing, contact Fayette County Agent

Put Your
Telephone
Into Those
Plans, Too!
Telephone convenience in today’s new
homes is usually pre-planned so that phones
are where you want them, when you
want them. Extra outlets for extensions are
installed during construction or remodeling
with all the wiring concealed. When your
phone needs change all you do is plug in
an extension where it’s needed.
Whether you’re building a new
house or remodeling, we’ll be glad
to help you “telephone condition”
it. Just call our business office.
