STATE CONTINUES TO RATE HIGHEST IN SOIL TESTING Illinois farmers continued their lead in amount of soil tested during the past year. • A report iust issued by the University of\Klinois soil testi n g ^ l a b o r a t o r y shows t h a t farmp^sHKad 561,000 samples tested in 1959. Tests were made on 53,992 farms, or about one out of every three in the state. J. C. Laverty, in charge of the University soil testing program, credits Illinois' lead to the eighty county extension laboratories and forty-six comc e r c i a l l a b o r a t o r i e s s e r v i n g farmers of the state. Some other states also have an exlerisive system of county laboratories, but they do not test as many samples. The University soil testing laboratory serves as the quality control center to check the tests of county and commercial laboratories. The leading county laboratories in number of acres tested during 1959 were McLean, Christian, DeKalb, Jefferson, Vermilion and Shelby. Leading counties in terms of number of farms having tests made were Shelby, Macoupin, Christian, Madison, Clinton, Marion and Effingham. Soil tests are the best way for a farmer to be sure he is applying the amounts of plant food nutrients needed by his soil without putting on too much or too little, Laverty emphasizes. They will help him decide whether plant food will give him a better return than spending his money in some other way. STEP UP DRIVE TO HALT POLLUTION IN SOME CITIES Interested persons have brought to our attention the fact that amidst controversy, the United States government is now demanding a costly c l e a n - u p by c o m m u n i t i e s a n d corporations of the rising tide of filth that infiltrates the nation's water supplies. In a test of federal versus local power soon to be devided in court, the government is calling on more than a dozen waterside cities, including St. Louis, Kansas City and Omaha, to stop dumping raw sewage and industrial waste into nearby rivers and thus give relief to downstream communities. The Public Health Service is studying no less than 150 areas of potential pollution. Here and there, however, taxpayers are reported to be demanding pocketbook protection and strong opposition to the new policy demands of the P.H.S., and strong opposition is said to be arising in some communities. One of the greatest challenges has been in the city of St. Joseph, Mo., where citizens have twice refused to vote bond issues to finance a $9.5 million sewage treatment system to cut pollution of the broad Missouri river. Now the government is suing to force St. Joseph to build the sewage works by 1963 and the case fs pending in federal district court in Missouri. Outside the courtroom, too. more and more is being done to fight water pollution by federal, state and local governments and by private industry. Already, federal officials say, pollution has ^been reduced on 21,000 miles of interstate streams. Washington officials however, contend the battle against water pollution has been a losing one so far. The worst, officials say, is yet to come. Per capita water wants are expected to mount from 147 gallons a day now to as much as 225 gallons in the year 2000. Because population, too, will rise, actual demand threatens to increase far more steeply, to perhaps one million gallons a day by the turn of the century from 280 billion now. Young Models Will .
