Reesor OUT OF THE WEALTH OF OUR ? SOILS By: G. N. Ruhnke, F.C.I.C., Head of the Department of Chemistry and Di- rector of Soil Surveys, Ontario Agricultural. College (NOTE--This is the second in a serles of comments by well-known authorities, written expressly for the Weekly Press of Ontario) Ontario farmers have done a splen- did job of food production during these war years, in spite of the short- ages of labour and equipment which had to be met. They have shown a high degree of efficiency in the use of land and a noteworthy resourcefulness in adapting their farm operations to meet the changing wartime needs for the various agricultural products. For the present, the demand for in- tensive production on our farms is still upon us, Food is still a weapon of war in the Pacific and, although the war in Europe is over, the great needs of the liberated countries there must be met until their own production can be made sufficient. How long this may be is not too certain, but one authority has estimated that the 1944 level of Canadian farm production will be required for at least the next two years, After the war is over, the changed position with respect to world supplies and world markets for farm products may necessitate profound ad- justments in our agricultural pro- gram. As a result of the experiences fol- lowing the last war, farmers are look- ing ahead with more concern for the future. Among other things they re- cognize that greater efficiency in the use of land, labor and machinery will be necessary. A low cost of produc- tion will be an important factor in meeting postwar competition. In general, the lowest cost of pro- duction is obtained with high yield levels, and high yields can be main- tained only on fertile and productive soils, Food is fabricated soil fertility. It is out of the wealth of our soils that we have produced the food to fight the war, and it is out of the wealth of our soils that we must con- tinue to produce the food to win the peace, ; It is timely then, in.our post-war planning, to ask ourselves what mea- sures are we taking to insure that soil fertility on our farms is being main- tained in the interest of efficient use of land, and a oar oi and enduring agriculture, During the past ten years, the total tonnage of fertilizers used in Ontario has approximately trehled, yet in spite of this, and the introduction of improved varieties of crops, improved drainage, and the wider use of more efficient tillage, seeding and harvesting machinery; the crops have failed to show a correspond. ing improvement, PLANNING for ~~ ===== TOMORROW'S FARMINGHA average yields of the common farm|. d bd It is true, however, that on many farms crop yields havé been increased far above the average where good soil management is being practised. Thus we -are forced to conclude that on a much larger proportion of our Ontario farms the yields are consider- ably lower than the average, and we are taking more out of the soil than is being put back. There are other striking indications that point to the need for a vigorous | program of soil improvement and soil conservation in Ontario. The increas- ing difficulty in growing alfalfa and clover, on soils which formerly pro- duced them in apundance, is but another reflection of failing fertility in the soil. The depletion of the humus, or organic matter, in our in- tensively cultivated, heavy- textured soils has made them harder to work, more difficult-to drain, and less pro- ductive. The lack of humus in our sandy soils is making them more sub- ject to leaching of plantfood in wet seasons and less retentive of moisture in dry seasons. The decline in fer- tility; the failure to balance adequate- ly the soil-depleting (clean-cultivated) crops with soil-congerving pasture) crops in the rotation; the lack of manure; and inadequate use of commercial fertilizers under intensive cropping have contributed also to our soil erosion problems, We do not need to look far to see unmistakable evi- dences of the need for a province- wide program for soil conservation. During these times of higher farm incomes, far-sighted farmers are in- vesting surplus earnings in Victory Bonds, to create reserve capital for postwar adjustments and farm im- provements. Money invested in Viec- tory Bonds now will insure ready funds for future financing of indivi- dual soil-building programs, and will contribute greatly to the stability and security of the farming industry.

Phair gave a talk on The Crusade for Christ, which had been held in the Maple Leaf Gardens, To- ronto, describing the gathering of the twenty thousand present and those taking part in the parade. She ex- plained that The Crusade for Christ meant a forward movement in evan- gelism under the name "The Crusade for Christ and His Kingdom". She also said the fact was emphasized by Miss Dorothy Young at the Cambray Convention that our lives should be dedicated and consecrated to Christ, and the church should be spiritually rebuilt with better literature and lea- dership; there is too much inconstancy in the world today and more attention should be given to prayer. After 'singing hymn "Soldiers of the Cross", Mrs. E.
