Durham County FARM FORUMS YELVERTON FARM FORUM The first Farm Forum meeting for this season was held Oct. 30 at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Clark. The attendance was small with only 16 members out. There seemcd ta be too manv things ta do that night ta have a big crawd. The topic for the evening "Can We Farm on Shorter Haurs." Neediess ta say a lively discussion followed but the opinions of most were that the farmer had so much work ta do and could take his own time at it, ta a certain extent, but we didn't see how you could increase your income on shorte r hours. The election of officers foilow- ed:' President Murray Malcolm; Assistant Jin Gray; Sec'y, Mrs. Ralph Malcolmn; Assistant, Mrs. Jimy Gray. The remainder of tic eveniog xvas spent playing euchr,, after which lunch was served. HAMPTON FORUM Hampton Farm Forum met nt the home of Mr. and Mrs. Boyd Ayre with 15 present. The subject for discussion was "Who should pay for soul conser- vation?" The first question wýùs "Who should bear the expense of introducing the neccssary soil conservation measure ta correct the particular probiem in youir district? We think that the Mii- nicipal Council should be respon- sible as ta keeping the ditches dlean and free from brush. thils enabling the fariner ta do his own draining. How can support be gaîned farn the soil conservation projeots which the individual fariner alone cannat carry out? We suggest that a group of farmers get ta- gether such as a Farrn Forum graup. Next week thc Forum wil mcct at the haine of Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Broome. NEWCASTLE FORU7M Newcastle Forum was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Stan. Allin with 12 present. We hadi discussion before and also after the broadcast. The topie xvas "Who Should Pay for Soil Con- servation?" 1. Who should bear the ex- pense of introducing the neces- sary soil conservation measure to correct the partieular problemis in your district? 2. How can support be kained for the soul conservation projects which the individual alone cari- rlot carry out. Answers- (1) We feel that most meas- ures needed in this district coulci be done largely by the farmers themselves. We would like to see a ditcher, however, providcd by the County at cost. Low cost loans more easily available would be a help to farmers wishing ta do draining or other work. (2) This question secms a littie vague. It depends on the scale of the project what support is need - ed whether township, county, provincial or what. After discussion lunch was served and a social hour enjoyed. Next meeting at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Bill Allun. Dis- cussion will begin at 8:30 D.S.T. Note the time.

PROVIDENCE' FORUM Providence Forum met at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Clarenc~e Turner with 26 present. The topic was "Who Should Pay for Soul Conservation?" On farm land the farmer is the man most directly responsible for soul conservation. He is the man who will gain most from improv- ed farmi methods. On aur marg- inal and poorci' land, of whicii there is a great deal, the people as a whoie through the goverii- ment must take over and do what is best with the land. Such land is generaily put back into foi-est. Much of aur own Durhaai County was at anc time the best stand of pine and hardwood in this country. It would be almost impossible ta estimate the cif- ference in value of this land if it had been lett iin forest and tho value it has today.

It is the chief promoter of vegetable or leaf growth and fou' this reasan it is particularly important in tobacco. The yield of leaf depends ta a large extent on the amaunt of nitragen used.

An adequate supply of avail- able ntrogen throughout the sea- son praduces rapid growth, high yîeld and high quality of leaf. A deficient supply resuits in slow growth, premature ripening of sinal icaves and a low yield of iittle or no value. With an aver- supply of nitrogen, leaves grow too rapidly, are weak in structure, succulent and susceptible ta in- sert and disease attack.

The rate of fertilization should be three hundred ta four hundred pounds per acre. Tests conducted by the Domin- ion Experimental Station, Har- row, in 1949 -and 1950 showed that alfalfa gave bigger yields where the preceding grain crop was fertilized with 2-16.6 than where any other fertilizer i the test was used. All fertilizers contaîning fairly high percentag- es of phosphoraus gave better crops of alfaîf a than thase having lower levels of this element. The grain Crop responded as well toaa 2.112-10 as it did ta the 2-16-6 in- dicating that in addition ta phos- phorous, nitragen and potash are neeessary for grain. These results as a whole show that grain seed- ed alone can be fertilized satis- factorily with a 2-12-10 or possih- ly a 2-12-6 but when alfalfa is be- ing seeded in the grain, the 2-16-r) fertilizer should be used. These results refer ta the Brookston clay sails which coin- prisés almast two thirds *of Essex Cotinty as welI as a gaod Portion of other counties in southwestern Ontario. Certain ather craps do not show the same response ta phosphatie fertilizer, for example corn appears ta respond mare ta nitrogen than ta phosphate.
