set out in Central Point only last March 11, it's blooming
already. Setting out the trees along Fine st. was a Central
Point Lions project. Looking at the blooming tree are, left

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."

Talent Seeks New
Police Officer
Talent Applications are
now being taken for the post
of city police officer here.
The Talent City council last
night voted to relieve Bill
Young of the post. Young had
been city police officer for
approximately six years.
In other action the council
voted to boost sewer and wa
ter system connection charges
from $50 to $75 apiece, effec
tive immediately. The action
was taken after it was noted
that recent connection proj
ects have cost the city an
average of $57.
Nona McAbee, city record
er, reported that 50 or 60
questionnaires concerning the
city's proposed water project
have been returned by resi
dents. A majority of those re
sponding favor the improve
ment project but are not cer
tain about how it should be
financed, she said.
A letter was sent to all wa
ter customers in the city ex
plaining the reasons behind
the city's proposal and asking
if they favored the improve
ment and if so whether they
favored Increasing taxes or
water rates or both to pay
for it.
The city council proposes
to construct facilities at an
approximate cost of $185,000
to take water from Wagner
creek for the city's supply.
Currently, the city gets its
water from wells.
