Builder of Casa Loma Dead

builder of **Casa Loma”, Toronto cas

counties where at least 80 per pent of
the soils are Jimp deficient in varying
degrees, the acidity problem is purely
local and soils should be tested before
lime applied, prof, Ruhnke advises.
Soil tests are a valuable means for de
tection of deficiencies and farmers
should consult their Agricultural Re
presentatives as to the nearest soil
testing station of the Ontario Dept,
of Agriculture;
It is no longer heresy to advocate
the use of commercial fertilizer as a
necessary farm practice if crop yields
are to be maintained, and to get the
maximum results from commercial
fertilizers, farmers should know just
what their soil lacks by having it
tested.
RESEARCH MARCHES
WITH THE FARMER
The- development of serious fertil
ity problems in Ontario soils is large
ly the result of inherent low potential
fertility in certain poor soil types, and
secondly, depletion of rich- soils
through improper management under
continued cultivation and cropping,
and. failure to replace these fertility
losses, states Prof. G. N. Ruhnke,
; head of the Chemistry Dept., O.A.C.,
Guelph.
Faulty land utilization and poor soil1
management combined are the major
factors responsible for most soil fer
tility problems at the present time,
Prof. Ruhnke declares, adding that
tillage and rotation practices may al
leviate or intensify losses of valuable
Surface soil by water pr wind erosion.
Fall sown cover crops should be used
where possible to reduce erosion.
Prof. Ruhnke suggests limited use of
rolling and hilly land for cultivated or =
hoe crops and more extensive use of
this type pf land for hay and mead
ows.
Shortage of manure necessitates the
1 use of green-manuring crops as a sup
plement. While legumes are best for
this purpose, non-leguriies may be us
ed, particularly if they are ehandled
as “green” manuring crops should be.
Two tons of cereal straw per acre
plus 200 pounds per acre of a nitrogen
fertilizer will provide approximately
as much active organic matter as ten
tons of average farmyard manure. It
is essential that the nitrogen be ap
plied with the straw when it is'turned
down or nitrogen starvation may ser
iously reduce the crop, that follows.
Peninsula
Eevry yeah new names appear in
the “Seed for Sale” advertisements of
Canadian farm journals. Erban, Car-
tier and Vanguard oats, Renown,
Thatcher and Coronation wheats, No
barb barley, Laurentian Purple Top
Swedes and hybrid corn are examp
les. The trend is clearly away from
'many of the old familiar varieties,
says G, R. Snyder, Soils Chemist, The
proven creations'of the plant breeder
are rapidly meeting a definite need in
the-struggle against unfavorable wea
ther, rust, frost and prickles!
Each new variety has some specific
qualififeation that makes it particular
ly useful. Erban oats are strong
Strawed and resistant to the two most
damaging species of leaf rust; they
are specially popular, therefore, in
sections where leaf rust is a factor in
reducing yields. .Vanguard oats, again
are resistant to stem rust-and are pop
ular in many ’ sections of Western
Canada.* Reriown wheat is one of the
best in the West, and Coronation, a
leaf rust-resistant variety, is reviving
the hopes of spring wheat growers in
the East. - ’
• Of no less importance to the grain
grower, from the standpoint of dis
ease control, are the new ethyl mer
cury- phosphate-dust seed disinfect
ants. Their use prevents damage
from seed-borne diseases such as cov
ered smut of, wheat and barley, the
smuts of oats, seed decay and root
rot. The ease of their application and
the fact that the treating can be car
ried out before the rush of seeding
begins has greatly enhanced their
popularity. Seeds protected from de
cay and root-rot organisms germin
ate more uniformly and vigorously,
thus ensuring a good stand from an
average rate of seeding. ,
Interestig ,too, is the statement of
Professor G. N. Ruhnke, head of the
Department of Chemistry, O.A.C.,
Guelph, when discussing the results
of the 1938 variety and fertility ex
periments, before the members of the
Ontario Experimental Union: “If any
particular variety is to be given its
best possible chance, the factors that
limit the fertility of the soil must be
. removed.”
Again, at the annual meeting of the
Ontario Field- Crops and Seed Grow
ers Association (now named “The
Ontario Crop Improvement Associa
tion”) Professor Ruhnke stated that,
ftgood as our cropping system has
been it has not been good enough to
maintain the fertility level of our
primary national resource, the soil. It
has, therefore, become'1 necessary to
supplement manure and crop residues
with commercial fertilizers.”
The plant breeders and chemists,
creators of these and other scientific
aids to producers of high quality
crops’ are thus assuming an increas
ingly popular role in the life of the
farmer. To benefit fully from their
creations, the farmer must learn to
