Soil test
can correct
acidity
Increase in soil acidity on your
farm can easily be overcome with
regular soil tests and correct
applications of lime.
"Soils naturally become acidic
as they get older, and with the
addition of lime, they can be
made neutral or basic again,"
says R.M. Johnston, soils and
fertilizers specialist at the Ridge-
town College of Agricultural
Technology.
However, this calls for regular
soil testing to determine PH
acidity levels.
Some soils are low in calcium
and magnesium - and therefore
acidic - right from the beginning,
and eventually all soils become
more acidic by leaching, the
removal of Minerals from soil by
water. In addition, all plant roots
produce acid as they grow, and
some natural vegetation and any
decomposing organic matter from
acid.
Although soils become acidic
naturally, man contributes to
their imbalance, speeding the
formation of acid by planting
crops that remove calcium and
magnesium and by using fer-
tilizers. Nearly all fertilizers,
especially nitrogen fertilizers, are
ultimately acid-forming. Even
the addition of organic matter to
the soil accelerates decomposition
and increases acid amounts.
County and district agricultural
offices have soil testing kits and
information. Once a farmer
knows his soil's PH level, he and
the soils specialist at his county or
district Ontario Ministry of Agri-
culture and Food office can decide
how much calcitic or dolomitic
lime is needed.'
Supplements
balance
beef feed
By using supplements to
ensure carefully balanced rations,
beef cattle producers can improve
both production and weight gain,
according to Ontario Ministry of
Agriculture and Food specialist
R.E.Macartney,
"A drop of even one-half per
cent in protein means a 500 to 600
pound calf is receiving one tenth
of a pound less protein per day,
with a correspondingly less
efficient weight gain," says Mr.
Macartney. "As a result, the
cattle need that . much more
supplement to bring them up to
proper levels."
The specialist suggests that
farmers who suspect a feeding
problem in their cattle submit a
feed sample to the Feed Testing
Laboratory to find out the protein
and mineral levels of their feed so
they can be supplemented to the
correct level. The livestock
specialists at county and district
offices of the Ontario Minist ry of
Agriculture and Food are also
available to provide help in
balancing rations so that pro-
ducers can get the Most benefit
from their feedstuffs.
