Regional Roundup By Cleve Twitchell Regional Editor Our column of last Wednes day concerlng John Telford, the organic farmer in Grants Pass, has been drawing some interesting comment. First, we'd like to thank R. E. Nea lon for his complimentary re marks about the subject in his "Tablets" column of last Fri day. Mr. Nealon hinted that he has a few farming secrets of his own. I'll have to go out and look in on him. We also have a letter from Tom Graff of Medford, who calls Telford's statements about chemical fertilizers de pleting the soil "a very good, extraordinarily true report." Telford, for those who did not see Wednesday's column, told us how, as a farmer in California a decade ago, he found that the use of chemi cal fertilizers seemed to de plete the soil of its fertility and at the same time attract ed more and more pests, mak ing it necessary for him to use more and more insecti cides. He said he had turned to organic farming, using fer tilizers only of plant and ani mal origin and building com post heaps to replenish the soil, as a result. "The things of which the farmer complains wreak greater vengeance upon hu mans who consume food grown under those conditions (le. wiih chemical fertilizers and insecticides)" Graff says. He adds it would come as no surprise to him if the in creased incidence of cancer In modern times were in some way connected with chemical farming, and he also wonders if such farming melhods have "a bearing on the Rogue Val ley pear crop decline." (Graff reports that an arti cle of his. written under his pen name Baron Von Graf and entitled "Youth and Vir ility" is slated to appear in the August Issue of Popular Medi cine magazine. It has to do with the effect of chemical fertilizers and insecticides on humans who eat the food grown in that manner.) Your editor doesn't know a great deal ahoul this subject. so all we're doing is reporting statements and experiences of other people. I can say that my vegetable gardens at Tnl ent and Merlin both are do ing fine, and I don't use chem lral fertilizers or sprays of any sort. The bugs don't seem to be showing much interest in my plants. I'll also have to admit that I've found organically grown strawberries c o n s 1 d e rably sweeter and belter flavored than most of the berries I've tasted that were grown with the aid of chemicals. Somt of the latter variety were so bland they were unpleasant to eat.
