The Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food provides soil testing without charge to all Ontario producers, "Many producers have a traditional view about fertilizer — a little bit is good, so a lot must be better," says Dr. Baldwin. "They don't realize that fields can be over-fertilized and over- manured," Dr. Baldwin stresses that it is important to remember that what was good for the field 10 years ago has no bearing on what it requires now. "Though the soil nutrient composition doesn't change much from year to year, we recommend soil tests every three years," Soil tests analyze the phosphorus, potash, calcium and magnesium levels, as well as pH. Although there is no reliable test for nitrogen, analysts are able to get a good idea of its level from knowing the crops and history of the field. Following, a soil test, experts This year the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food will onee again be sponsoring the Junior Agriculturalist Program during the summer of 1277, The program is designed to provide a practical learning experience for young people from non-farm homes who have a serious interest in agriculture, and have no eX- perience working on a farm. As a Junior Agriculturalist, a person will be placed on a selected commercial farm, where he or she will perform regular activities relative to that farm operation. In addition, a Junior Agriculturalist, will have an opportunity to develop an apprecitation of rural life through living with a farm family, and through participating in the local 4-H and Junior Farmer programs and in other rural activities. The prospective Junior Agriculturalists will be either boys or girls 16 to 17 years of age and must be in good physical and mental condition in order to withstand the vigorous physical effort. Selection will be based in part on their reasons for being interested in agriculture, and their plans for further education and a career, All Junior Agriculturalists will be required to participate in an orientation program to help prepare them for their farm stay. This program will be held about mid June and on-farm assign- ment will be for a nine week period, commencing on June 20th and terminating on August 20, 1977. A Junior Agriculturalist will be assigned, whenever possible, to a farm with the type of enterprises in which he or she is most in- terested, The duties involved will vary considerably depending on the individual farm operation, the demonstrated ability of the Junior Agriculturalist and the kind of enterprises found on the farm. The interested host farmers are to be commercial farms, with the operator engaged in farming full time, They must be in- terested in helping inexperienced young people develop the skills required on a farm and are ex- pected to have the ability to work well with and supervise young people, Host farmers must also provide suitable accommodation for the Junior Agriculturalist during his or her stay. Each Junior Agriculturalist will receive a training allowance of $16. per day on a six day week. $6,00 of this will be provided by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food; the host farm will provide $5. per day in cash, as well as supplying room and board worth $5. per day, Persons interested in par- ticipating in this program as either a host farmer or Junior Agriculturalist should contact Len MacGregor at 482-3428 or long distance Zenith 7-2800, When you need parts, you need them in a hurry.

Regular soil testing increases crop yields are able to make recom- mendations on fertilizer use, Dr. Baldwin says the experts will first look at the farm's manure supply to see where it can be used. They then can recommend commercial fertilizers. "Knowing the soil and its needs can save fertilizer dollars and also reduce the costly errors of over- or under-fertilization." In addition to soil tests, the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food also provides a manure analysis service. Dr, Baldwin says that although there is a charge for this analysis, it could result in savings of thousands of dollars, For more information about soil and manure testing contact local offices of the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food.
