ROBERTSON. rrb ti Soil Testing Goes Modern The biggest obstacle in an- alyzing soil samples at the On- tario Agricultural College in Guelph has been the great vol- ume 01 paper work involved. It took time transferring the mass of data to individual forms, in- terpreting this data and the in- formation sheets accompanying the samples, and typing. They are now using computing ma- chines which drastically reduce paper work and in turn will pro- vide a more efficient soil test- ing service for Ontario farmers. During the year April lst,1963 to March 31, 1964, 43, 726 soil samples were analyzed in the Department of Soil Science. This was for 13,926 farmers. In addition, 2, 349 garden samples were processed, making a total of 51, 075 for the year. Com- pared with five years ago this is a five -fold increase in sam- ples and four times as many farmers. To assist in reporting on so many soil samples, and to give a more personalized service where needed, all agricultural representatives, fruit and veg- etable fieldmen, tobacco spe- Prizes Won At Fall Fairs BELMORE- Now that the fall fairs have come to an end, we would like to congratulate the farmers in the area who won prizes at local and distant fairs Jack Fitch won 60 first priz- es, 35 seconds, and 30 thirds, for his entries of heavy horses for wagon or express.

Belgrave Co -Operative Assocli f'3O3J 1S'in> i � i 3r 2711; Sru e1w1SRAVVIO cialists and soils and crops fieldrnen have been trained to make soil test recommenda- tions. All laboratory data, plus pertinent manageinentpraetiaas submitted on information sheets accompanying soil samples, will be punched on computer cards. Management practices which affect a soil test recom- mendation are: manures ap- plied, straw or stalks plowed down, the kind of crop plowed down and the crop to be grown. Another card will be punched with the farmer's name and address, county, and township. Each day all punched cards are fed into the computer, result- ing in prepared reports, ready for mailing. This report will give s a m ple numbers, soil test values, and ratings for crops to be grown, along with the net re- quirements of nitrogen, phos- phate, potash and lime. - On the new report form there is one situation with which the computer cannot cope. This is a sample number system over simple digits of 1, 2, 3, etc. The computer cannot use sam- ples, A, B, C, or a-1, a-2, b-2, or front field, or back field, etc. Also careful attention must be given by farmers in filling out the information sheet sub- mitted with the sample. This is particularly important to en- able the computer to make necessary deductions or addi- tions to give the net fertilizer requirement per acre. For further information on soil testing and the procedure to follow with soil samples, contact the local office of the Ontario Department of Agricul- ture. Protect Hunting Privileges Dangerous use of firearms and acts of vandalism have practically eliminated the use of private lands for hunting in central and southern Ontario. Observance of a few common sense rules of hunting courtesy would help to improve this de- plorable situation: Never hunt on private land without first obtaining permis- sion from the owner. And then remember that you are the guest of the farmer or landown- er and act accordingly. Never shoot near huildings or livestock, and of course, never shoot at livestock or use buildings, farm machinery or other equipment for target prac- tice. Be careful not to damage gates or fences, and always close gates behind you. Never walk through standing or grow- ing crops or cut firewood and make cooking fires without per- mission. If you have created any da- mage, report it to the land- owner and offer to pay for the damage or help fix it. Also report any acts of van- dalism observed to the land- owner or local police. These common sense acts of courtesy would not only mean many hours of enjoyable hunt- ing, but could also develop friendships which could bring pleasure for years.
