To what extent doeS fertilizer SAVE MONEY. use on the farm contribute to , environmental pollution? There have been reports that many rivers, ponds, and lakes are Nut, Stove, Stoker and Buck- being polluted by a tremendous wheat Coal Available growth of algae and other water plants. Since one limiting factor for algal growth in,most water is phosphorus, the phosphorus level in lakes and streams be- comes of prime concern. The large amounts of phos- phorus used as farm fertilizer give rise to the claim that ferti- lizer use is 'responsible for a major portion of the 'phosphorus in our waters. However, only a very small percentage of thii phosphorus may reach our ground ._9l_sarface-waters-.-- when apPlieci to the soil, phosphorus fertilizer reacts very quickly to form com- pounds which are only slightly soluble in the soil solution. There is very little downward move- ment of phosphorus in 'the soil. Therefore, fertilizer use is not contributing significantly to pollution through leaching .of phosphorus to the groundwater. Since there is little downward movement of phosphorus in soil, fertilization increases the phos- phorus 'content of the surface soil. Therefore, eroded soil from fertilized fields will be higher in phosphorus • than that from unfertilized fields. Certainly there may be con- siderable movement of soil from the top to the bottom of slope. The problem is to determine how• much of this soil reaches our. streams. Eroded soil will not contribute to pollution unless the sediment is carried directly into a stream, pond, or lake. Although it is Impossible at this time to place an accurate fi- gure on the proportion of' the phosphorus reaching the lakes that comes from fettiliter appli- cation, it is fairly safe to say that less than 2 1/2% Of the phosphorus reaching Lake Erie and Lake Ontario can be attri- bated to farm fertilizer ,use. Nitrogen is another com- ponent of fertilizers that is of concern from a pollution stand- point: Nitrogen, as well as phos- phorus and other nutrients, is required for algal growth. It is also of concern from a human and animal health standpoint. High nitrate levels In drinking water or food can be toxic to ruminant animals and to infants under 6 months of age. No one who understands crop, production would suggest that farmers not use nitrogen ferti- lizer. It is impossible to have an optimum level of crop pro- duction without contributing some nitrates to the groundwater. we can, however, keep the contri- bution to a minimum, acceptable level by wise fertilization prat= CO For. Summer Delivery and Claims Fertilizer Not Pollutant ORDER NOW retirement from the livestock business by Jack Morrissey of Creditors. Morrissey is well known in this area for his vast knowledge of all aspects of livestock. In recent years, Jack Riddell University of Guelph with a major in Animal Science and served the Extension branch 'of Ontario Department of Agriculture in the counties of Essex and Hastings. He later served with the Saskatchewan Department of Agriculture and then returned to Ontario operating his father's farm, specializing in purebred Holsteins and Shorthorns. The rates of nitrogen recom- mended by the Soil Testing Ser- vice provided by the Department of Soil Science, University of Guelph', in cooperation with the Ontario Department of Agricul, ture and Fond7 are designed to give the farmer the optimum level of crop production. These rates, if applied at the recommended times, will not cause unaccept- able increases of nitrates in our water supplies. until 1966 When the company was acquired by Cryovac, specialists in the supply of packaging ma- terials and processing equipment to Canadian meat and poultry processors. The late W. K. Riddell, father of .Doug and Jack, served Middle- sex County as agricultural re- presentative for 36 years. Later he was assistant manager of the Ontario Stock yardS in Toronto before moving to this area.

As well as adding to the beauty of the farm, trees have many additional benefits. Harold Clapp, livestock specialist, Ont- ario Department of Agriculture and Food in Quelph, says a wind- break can be beneficial for the beef and dairy producer. For the feedlot operator, trees will help to break the wind and prevent a buildup of snow around buildings. A windbreak will also permit a farmer,to let his animals, out daily during the winter. When animals are con- fined for the entire season, breeding problems can develop. An added benefit, say horti- culturists, is that trees can also help prevent wind erosion or act as a snow fence along roads. As, a temporary solution for this winter, farmers should consider snow fence. Besides providing protection for this year, it will show the farmer 'if he has plan- ned his windbreak for the right location. A poorly placed wind- break could add to a snow or wind problem. By planning now, farmers can prepare the soil, and order trees in time for planting time next spring. logy. "It may be several years before we have another season as dry as this; farmers will find these nuisance spots impassable again unless they do something about if when the opportunity arises," he said' , If the farmer has not budgeted for drainage figs year, he might consider installing at least the main tiles and .0. few, laterals to the lowest spots in the 'areas. Then if the job is fairly large, it can be finished later. Tiling now will almost certainly ensure sufficient drainage for access to land to finish the job next year; if only a small area is involved, it might pay to complete the whole job now. Mr. Sojak also points out that summer and early autumn are slow periods for drainage con- tractors, and small jobs can be fitted into their schedules easily.
