FROM
THE
GROUND
UP.
By BART BARTLETT
The subject at hand is that
of organic versus inorganic
gardening andor farming.
Last week an attempt was
made to introduce the sub
ject and present certain prob
lems that exist or will exist
if total organic farming is to
become widely fashionable.
This week it is dcsireable to
emphasize the fact that this
column is neither for nor
against the general Idea of
the production of mankinds
food and fiber by organic
means. However, the problem
becomes one of logic and logis
tics as well as one of quantity
and quality when the total
plant production needs of mil
lions of people arc concerned.
It is one thing to grow a
seleci, group of plants by a
certain method in relatively
small quantity and supply
their production to a small
group of people. It's some
thing else when this achieves
a measure of success to propa
gate the theme this is the one
and only method for the pro
duction of food for humans
The fanatic approach to propa
gating the theory of almost
any activity Is bad and cer
tainly is a slep In the wrong
direction in so far as gaining
widespread acceptance of such
practices are concerned.
The belief of this column
Is that both organic and inor
ganic farming methods will be
necessary and dcsireable if
the world's peoples are to be
adequately fed. We must uti
lize all of the resources at
hand to accomplish this task.
It is unfortunate at the mo
ment that distribution of foods
is o disturbed by world poli
tics that the surplus of many
countries cannot move freely
to those countries thnt ha'C
as their greatest problem, a
population that is starving.
Again is should be pointed
out that the surplus crop
countries are making use of
inorganic and organic chemi
cals in the production of agri
cultural crops while In most
cases the poorly fed peoples
of the world are feasting on
the products of an organic
agriculture.
It should be pointed out
that certain crops can be suc
cessfully grown under condi
tions of low nutrition if the
physical structure of the soil
is favorable. There are also
crops thai naturally have tew
or no insect and disease pests,
Such crops as parsnips, tur
nips, onions and carrots can
be included in this category.
They are not normally host
plants of mites or aphid and
do well in a deep soil of free
open structure. Hie applica
tion of plant or organic resi
dues to some tight, dense soils
will without doubt result in
the production of excellent
crops of these and certain oth
er agricultural plants.
It by no means indirates
that all economic plants that
are adaptable to a certain cli
mate will do equally well
from a production standpoint.
However, an application of
nitrogen, plus phnrosphorus,
plus potash fertilizer along
with an Insect and disease
control program often insures
that other crops such as corn,
beans, cucumbers, etc. can he
grown In great quantity. These
crops are often a failure with
out the fertilizer and pest con
trols regardless of the physical
constants of the soil such as
structure, depth and soil
moisture.
A combination of the or- ,
ganic and Inorganic in agri
culture Is deslroahlo. This will
be followed up in next week's
column.
The current crop of politi
co I n s is very quiet -wait un
til late September for the
prevalence of political weath
er. However, there may be
minor storms in the meantime.

being developed by OSU econ
omists in response to indus
try requests. Statements are
expected to be available in
July, Thomas said.
Currently, he points out, all
indications are that adminis
trative action under provi
sions of present farm legisla
tion will be needed if the
problem is to be relieved in
the coming season. Such ac
tion seems likely to hinge
largely on the continuing ef
forts of persons interested in
the economic development of
Oregon, the Pacific Northwest
and U. S-. he added.
Price Gaps Grow
The price gaps have grown
rapidly since 1958, reaching
new highs this spring. Con
tinued over time, they have
many economic implications,
Thomas states. Among the
more significant implications
to Oregon and the Pacific
Northwest, he believes, are:
Loss of present payrolls and
investments In producing and
marketing livestock and poul
try. Loss of opportunities for
efficltnl use of the region's re
sources to help supply the
present and prospective needs
of the meat-deficient, rapidly
growing west coast.
Thomas emphasizes that the
Northwest has the location
and resources to help supply
not only grains for export,
but also to make efficient use
of additional grains produced
here or in other parts of the
nation to help supply west
coast consumers.
Growth of the region's cattle-feeding
and hog-raising en
terprises, started in the mid-
1950s when the price gap was
narrow, has now been Inter
rupted, if not hnllcd. he be
lieves.
Likewise, unless "man
made" obstacles in the form
of federal grain programs are
adjusted, additional invest
ments will not be made and
job opportunities will be lost
as (he region's potentials for
livestock and poultry produc
tion are dwarfed.
At the moment, relatively
low feed grain prices in the
Midwest are enticing people
to make new investments in
livestock production and mar
keting facilities which could
be jeopardized when regional
grain prices readjust, he
warns.
The large grain price gaps
reflect many factors In which
federal programs now loom
large, he continues. Production-adjustment,
export assist
ance and domestic sales pro
grams have combined with
other economic forces to push
Midwest feed grain prices be
low price support levels,
while in the Northwest bar
ley prices have been pulled
above supports.
These conditions distort
market relationships, he
points out, and leave North
west poultry and livestock
feeders at a "serious disadvan
tage" because Midwest poul
try and livestock will ex
change for much more fee:'
grain at market prices than
in the Northwest. At 11)01
support prices, the amounts
would have been nearly equal.
During the past winter,
special sales of government

tially relieved the problem,
he said

Education Is Great Need,
Kenya Agriculturist Says
By JOE COWLEY
Mail Tribune Farm Editor
Education is the great need
in Kenya.
It's needed to fulfill the
great potential which is Afri
ca's future, said Mordccai Ka
tumba, a scientist with the
experiment station in Kenya,
an East African country.
This is particularly true for
agriculture, he pointed out
while visiting the Southern
Oregon Branch Experiment
station here. African agricul
tural production has in
creased by over half in the
last 20 years which Is well
above the world's average in
crease. But, the people have
to be taught proper fertiliza
tion practices. They must be
taught how to use modern
hand implements as a step to
ward using tractors and farm
implements.
Enter Professions
"Right now the people of
my country who receive an
education usually go into the
professions. They are discour
aged on returning to their vil
lages to find they have to
chop a farm out of the Afri
can bush with simple imple
ments," the short, scholarly
African explained. "You can't
blame them. It's a discourag
ing thing to spend a month
clearing bush."
John Yungen, experiment
station agronomist, has been
host to Mr. Katumba. He said
the agricultural scientist plans
to buy at least one hand corn
planter. This is the type of
tool which the Africans can
use to advantage. Now they
use a pointed stick to make a
hole in the soil, drop in the
seed and kick the dirt over it.
For some reason British
companies and other Euro
pean manufacturers haven't
used the tremendous market
for hand farm implements in
Kenya, Yungen noted. The
Europeans who farm much
larger acreages, of course,
use mechanized equipment.
' Part of the great African
agricultural potential is the
undeveloped water-power. It
is estimated that African has
40 per cent of the world's
water power, but only A per
cent is developed, authorities
have noted. A dam at Owen
Falls has been completed for
10 years but is being added
to now, Katumba said. This is
the southern terminus of the
Nile river flowing from
Egypt.
Kenya faces the same type
of international problem on
using waters from the Nile
as the United States and Can
ada do with the Columbia
river. The agricultural scien
tist said an agreement is being
considered with Egypt over
use of Nile water for irriga
tion and other purposes.
Studied Administration
While vistiing the experi
ment station, the agricultural
scientist has been studying the
station administration. "The
people here know what they
are doing and do ill" Katum
ba said. "We have a problem
in Kenya."
DDT, an insecticide used by
the experiment station, in
cludes a product from Africa
-the pyrethrum base which
comes from chrysanthemums.
A Kenya agricultural report
in I960 states that the United
States could absorb 15 per
cent more pyrethrum.
Kenya produces coffee, cot
ton and peanuts as its other
leading exports. Its coffee is
the highland Arabic type. Ap
proximately 32,000 tons arc
shipped into the world mar
ket each year. Cotton is of
the long staple variety which
the world market imports for
fine cotton clothing. Kenya is
also the fourth largest pro
ducer of sisal fiber for rope.
Kenya is not, however, a
leading stock producer. Ka
tumba noted his country is
behind in animal husbandry.
Thus was one of the subjects
he studied during his recently
completed year at Oregon
State university. Chief native
cattle is the Zebu which re
sembles the Brahma. It is a
modification of the Tibetan
Yak bull and is used for both
meat and milk.
Use Jersey
Jersey is another main
breed. The British brought
this animal to Kenya about
50 years ago, Katumba said.
It seems somewhat smaller
than the Guernsey raised in
the United States. He indi
cated there is considerable
crossbreeding through arti
ficial insemination in some
parts of the country since the
Zebu rrosses easily with Euro
pean stock.
Kenya is a British-control
led territory so is orientated
toward England. When the
people of Kenya seek over-
seas education now they ml- t
grate to the U. S and
land. However. Kenva does !
have Its own schools Most
of these are operated co
operatively by the govern
ment and missionaries

Kampole (Malavere) teaches
agriculture, medicine and edu
cation. Since adequate education
for the masses of people in
Africa is the great need, it
seems only natural that the
Kenya agricultural scientist
is impressed with the U. S.
school system. He would like
to establish vocational agri
culture classes in Kenya. But,
this would be difficult be
cause Africa docs not have
vocational training, in its high
schools, he said.
Another thing which im
presses the man from Kenya
is the U. S. food distribution
system. A resident of Kenya
cannot go Into a store or res
taurant in Kenya and be sure
he will receive what he ord
ers. It might not be available
until the next day or the next
few days, he pointed out.
Has Transport Problem
This is due to Africa's
transportation problem and
sometimes food shortages.
The "dark continent" has
fewer miles of railroad than
any other continent. In fact,
Africans like many Medford
residents are more familiar
with the airplane than the
passenger train. Katumba
traced a network of roads
through Kenya. These, he in
dicated, may be more import
ant to the future of his coun
try than railroads. Public
work departments and labora
tories in various African ter
ritories are studying road ma
terials and soil mechanics to

Kenya is not yet independ
ent but will be soon, Katum
ba said. The revolution there
was a giant step forward,
some people think, referring
to the "Mau Mau" rebellion
in 1952-53. The White High
lands have been opened to
non-Europeans and Africans
now have a greater partici
pation in government through
the new constitution made in
1960 and widened early this
year.
However, Kenya is not yet
ready for participation in the
European Common Market.
Katumba feels. It still has to
ship its goods to England for
which it receives English
money so the Common Mar
ket would not open up great
er trade for Kenya, he said.
The British Commonwealth's
participation in the Common
Market is one of the main
problems involved In British
participation. Possibility of
bringing in British African
territories which would com
pete with the former French
African territories already
pert of the ECM, is another
big problem.
