and inexpensive — to test your 
own soil with Sudbury Soil Test 
Kits. They are made especially 
for the amateur — by the same 
laboratory which provides Gov¬ 
ernment departments, county 
agents, agricultural schools, and 
large professional growers with 
much of their field testing equip¬ 
ment. With little fuss — and no 
red tape — you can quickly 
gauge your soil requirements in 
respect to nitrogen, phosphorus, 
potash and acidity. A helpful 
table of plant needs accompa¬ 
nies each kit. 
If your lawn is poor and straggly, 
do you know whether the cause 
is excess acidity, insufficient nitro¬ 
gen, or some other soil deficien¬ 
cy? If you have had garden fail¬ 
ures, can you put your finger 
on the reason why?
