Probe Simplifies Soil Sampling

Probe Simplifies Soil Sampling CROPS Miscellaneous 7-1-8 If you do a lot of soil sampling, you'll like the simplicity and convenience of a new hand-held probe from Fox Marketing, Bloomington, Ill. The new-style sampler, which takes a 1 in. dia. core 8 in. deep, is operated by foot pressure on a step at the side of the unit. A push-rod inside the handle, coupled with the hinged probe, makes for quick, easy removal of the dirt sample. It's made of case hardened chromed steel and sells for $46, plus $3.50 for shipping.
