Down
to
Earth
By D. I. HOOPER
M.G.A.I.C.
At the annual banquet of the
Huron County Branch of the On
tario Soils and 'Crop Improvement
Association in -Londesboro last
Wednesday night it is to be re
gretted that more farmers could
not have heard George Gear,
Bruce County Ag. .Rep. In our
opinion he has the most down to
earth approach to the present day
farm problems of any speaker we
have heard in a long time.
He chose as his subject “My
Own Philosophy of Farming."
Believe me, it packs a lot of com
mon sense. It was so vital, we,
the executive, failed in that we
did not record it for posterity.
Perhaps the most outstanding
point he made was that too many
of us belong to the same club as
■he does, “The M.G.A.I.C. Club”—
“My Gosh, Am I Confused”,
Soil Test
For instance he took for ex
ample the matter of soils and
soil testing. As we understood it
he definitely was in favor of soil
testing, but as to how to correct
the deficiencies as pointed out
by the tests—M.G.A.I.C. He told
of a farmer who sent down to
the O.A.C. several soil samples,
among them a sample for the
garden. The results came back
and as George said he was again
M.G.A.I.C.
The garden result came back
as one of the most perfect sam
ples ever sent in by his office.
The rest of farm was just an
average sample of soil—low in
phosphorus etc. Deciding to in
vestigate, just to satisfy his
curiosity, he found that no com
mercial fertilizers had ever been
used on the garden, but a good
coat of barnyard manure was
■given annually..
This is perhaps contrary to
what we have been Jed to believe
by many authorities. They say
that manure is low in phosphor
us and potash, True, but why
then the above results? — As
George says M.G.A.I.C, Not as
much as at first glance. That
garden soil sample was in ex
cellent physical condition, no
doubt, and if all that farm were
in the same physical condition,
the chemicals locked up in the
soil would be available as plant
food.
Helping Ourselves
Another point we rather liked
in his speech was the idea of
helping ourselves. In this light —Please turn to Page 9 |
