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.
Examinations have been
announced by the U.S. Civil
service commission for the po
sitions ci third and fourth
mates on t hopper dredge.
Application forms may be
obtained from L. B. Nelson,
examiner. U.S. post office
