Neosho Extension urges soil tests for better fertility

Extension specialists Gerald McMasters and VeMaster say soil tests reveal fertility needs, with potential income gains of over 2 million dollars from lime and fertilizer use. They estimate 2,000 to 3,000 tests annually, or about 8,000 if each test covers 20 acres.

Varied Stock of Memories
A nostalgic meditation on selective memory evokes mid century life through vivid vignettes. It recalls Uncle Tom's Cabin on ice, Red Grange summer workouts, vaudeville, bifocals, gold pocket watches, stern bankers, childhood rites, churchgoing, backyards, clothing on Mondays, whistling and spitting at school, farmer wives, hand me downs, 10 cent cigars, term milk drinkers, and yogurt as an Indian leader, closing with those days remembered.
