Tests Hold Key
To Determining
Ohio Soil Needs

From 100000 soil samples we
get a pretty good idea of the
changing needs of Ohio's Soils" F.
j. Salter, associate professor of
agronomy, told Farm and Home
Week visitors.
Results of soil tests show us
nitrogen, phosphorus and potash
deficiencies and gives us basis
for making recommendations to
farmers" he said.
In 1920. Slater explained, farm
ers were urged to buy phosphate
fertilizers. AS a result, farmers
neglected nitrogen and potash
contents of their soil. Crops con-
tinued to use these elements, how
ever. and soil tests began to show
that plants were starved from
nitrogen and potash. Full-formula
fertilizers were recommended to
farmers. In 1949, all but 3 per-
cent Of farm fertilizers sold were
complete formulas.
Through soil testing, it also be-
came apparent that farmers were
Supplying lime too lightly. In 1920,
10000 tons of limestone were
used by farmers. AS a result of
the showing in tests and research
IN soil nutrition, farmers now ap-
ply lime heavily.
About 100000 tons of lime
stone were applied to Ohio's farms
I'm 1949. Even though this figure
equals the amount estimated to
maintain Ohio farms at favor
able PHI, much of the stone was of
q coarse meal grade. Tests show
Ohio needs still more lime than
was applied in 1949.
Latest findings from these soil
tests show our organic content of
the soil decreasing. In 1920, 8
percent of average Ohio soil was
organic matter. Now, only one
half to one percent can be called
organic matter. As a result of the
findings from the soil tests, farm
ers are recommended to plow un-
der much of the organic matter
formerly burned or removed from
the land.

Fellow Minister May Not Hold p
In Court

as DEFENDANT, this reporter, who
personally covered the conference
and was at the session mentioned,
can explain why the minister was
selected as "target."
Rev. Hildebrand, as a member
of the New York conference, was
the one who preferred charges
against Rev. Garrison on the
grounds of conduct unbecoming a
minister. This followed the re-
velation of Rev. Garrison's con-
duct toward the bishop and other
members of the conference.
Although more than 800 dele
gatse approved the dismissal Of
Rev. Garrison, it was Bishop Nj
chols who made a personal plea
to the assembly to review Rev.
Hildebrand's charges.
However, after the 1949 meet
ing, Rev. Garrison pulled away
from the conference and announce
ed he was an independent pastor.
