Regional Roundup by Cleva Twitchell Mail Tribune Regional Editor A little more than a decade ago, John Telford was a farmer in Riverside county, Calif., who like many other farmers used chemical fertilizers and insecticides to aid In growing his crops. Today Telford is an organic farmer near Grants Pass and operates one of the largest organic farms in southern Oregon. He is perhaps best known for his carrot juice, which has become so popular that he now makes two trips a week to Medford and Ashland to reach customers in addition to serving the Josephine county area. Speaking of his reasons for turning to organic farming, Telford said that he found the use of chemical fertilizers and insecticides established a vicious circle. "I used tons of chemical fertilizers on my farm in Riverside county. I found that the more chemical fertilizers I used, the worse the pests became and the more chemical insecti cides I was forced to use to kill them. Chemical ferti lizers also did not do an adequate job of replenishing the ground and I had to use more and more of them each year to get a good crop," Telford explained. "Many farmers are aware that there is something wrong with using chemical fertilizers," he went on. "Several of the large-scale farmers I knew in southern California no longer own their own land. They now lease land for three or four years and then move on, because they know that just a few years of chemical fertilizers will deplete the soil's fertility." And so Telford turned to organic farming, which is farming without the use of chemical fertilizers or in secticides. He describes it as "simply working with nature." He bought his seven-acre place at 350 Ponderoso Lane in 1956 and began to accumulate compost material. He raised some vegetables the first year, took them to Crescent City to sell, then loaded up his truck with seaweed to bring back for compost. The seaweed helps to return vitally needed minerals to the ground, Telford said. A good compost heap is made up of layers of material such as seaweed, manure, hay and soil, he went on. It should be allowed to decompose for a year, kept covered during the wet months, and then spread over the soil in the fall so that it can sink in during the winter. The compost breaks down and forms humic acid, Tel ford said. He called humic acid the "only true plant food." For example, he explained, trees in the forests are nurtured by the leaves and insect bodies which pile up on the ground around them. Telford is eager to see all farmers turn to the organic method. "It's a shame that our garbage is wasted and allowed to pollute rivers and streams when it could be put into compost to replenish the ground," he said. But he recommends that such a change in farming technique be done gradually, explaining, "If we were to pass a law outlawing the use of chemical fertilizers, this nation would starve, because the soil has been de pleted of so much of its fertility already."
