COUNTY SOIL MAP.
QUESTIONS OF INTEREST ANS
BY MR.
Some of the Benefit That R-
salt From the Map and How
Can be Obtained.
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.
The maps and reports will
furnish prospective settlers
biased information concerning
the soils, agricultural conditions,
and possibilities of the
To illustrate, If a Northern or
Western farmer, or some one
seeking a favorable climate,
cheap and productive soils and a
congenial people, receives a copy
of the map and report of Pitt
county he can learn ail about the
county from the report and an-
of its soils without leaving
home.
The soil survey is the basis for
the study of the adaptation of
soils to crops. Anyone who has
had any practical experience
knows that not all soils are equal-
suited to the same crops, and
that more or less of a selection
of soil is made for certain crops.
By studying these soils in
to similar soils of the At-
antic coastal plain it is
to new crops which
would prove profitable. Pitt
county offers great opportunities,
as its soils can produce most any
crop and could support many
times the present population.
One of the most important
things connected with the soil
survey is to study the
and fertilizer of
various soils for the different
crops A large number of samples
of soil, subsoil and marl are be-
collected and forwarded to
Washington. D. C. and Raleigh.
N. C. for The amount
of money annually invested in
fertilizers by the
county is upwards of
Perhaps a third of this
money is annually wasted and
brings no adequate returns ow-
to the fact that, the
of the farmers do not understand
the soil requirements for just the
proper kind of f.-r and go
ahead buying most any brand
and applying it to the land with-
out due regard for the needs of
at particular for a
crop. Dr. B. W. State
and Director of the
State Test . carrying on
a number of fertilizer
and also variety tests of
cotton, corn, and other crops in
order to ascertain what is the
best fertilizer and how much for
each kind of soil and crop, and
also the variety best suited to
each soil. He knows th soil
type with which he is
and by having the soils
of Pitt county mapped he will
be able to give out valuable and
specific information tot the farm-
concerning each type of soil
It be impossible to
with the soil on each plan-
or even in each county,
but when experiments are made
in one locality the farmers who
have the same kind of soil can
apply the same treatment to
and look forward to the same
favorable results. Without a soil
you would not know
or not you had the same soil.
The third How much
does it cost the people of Pitt
county Can be answered m
one word-nothing. This work
is being done in the Interest of
the farmers and land owners at
no direct cost to any person, but
from the general funds

event. Every day there were
special attractions and crowds of
people gathered there to witness
them. The business houses and
many of the residences were
decorated with flags and banners
and the citizens exerted them-
selves to make the visitors have
a good time.

parade Thursday was most

Various industries and trades
