News and Announcements

The Editorial Board presents this financial report, valid through the end of the year 2000, for your information. We experienced a loss of 10 subscribers in 2000, but because of a drop in expenses, we actually realized a net increase of about $425. It is good to be on the positive side of the ledger and we should be secure for the next few years. The Editorial Board investigated several ways to increase the number of subscribers last year. Although it is hard to tell how effective our efforts were in view of the declining number of field soil scientists nation-wide, we will continue in our efforts to try to promote Soil Survey Horizons. In order to forestall future subscription rate increases, your continued support is essential. We strongly encourage you to continue to subscribe to Soil Survey Horizons and request your associates to consider a subscription. A reminder to all authors to submit both a hard copy (double-spaced) and an electronic version (WordPerfect or MSWord) of their manuscripts. Photos should be original hard copies; line art figures may be high quality original hard copies or TIFF files (600 dpi or better). All authors should include their address, phone numbers, and email address. The Editorial Board would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank those who have contributed articles or information to Soil Survey Horizons and/or who are subscribers.
