Editor On making the soil map of Pitt county there are many asked us as we go about the county boring holes in the ground. The more common ones What are you doing What good it be when you finish How much does it cost As this work is being done by the Na- government and State for the benefit of the farmers and land-owner, and in general, it is nothing but proper that every person in Pitt county know all about it The first question was answer- ed in The Daily Reflector about three weeks ago when Mr. Whichard clearly outlined the work. The second question one which could be dealt with at con- length, but I shall mere- mention briefly some of the purposes for this work. Under- lying all attempts to improve the agricultural welfare of any is the necessity for a correct knowledge of the variety and distribution of i its soils, other natural resources and advantages. The soil is the capital and he should study how to use and improve it to the best advantage, just as a banker studies how to place the funds of his institution. In order to intelligently study the soils it is necessary to know something of the different kinds of soils, each kind is lo- how much there is of it, and the condition of it as regards its origin, draining and surface features. The map which is be- made of Pitt county will show in different colors the different kinds of soil and the area of each. It also be an accurate map of the county showing roads, railroads, streams, houses, churches, school houses, towns, township lines, etc. It can be used advantageously in locating districts, laying out new j roads, opening up rural mail routes, and in planning drainage schemes, as the elevations and natural drainage ways are shown. It will only be a matter of a short time before many of the now wet. poorly drained but fer- tile areas, will be drained and reclaimed and made productive.
