Plant Nutrient Status Of P. E. I. Soils Shown

Many requests for information regarding the level of fertility of individual fields and of the soils of the province generally are received at the Soil Laboratory, experimental Station. Charlotte- ltown. Those requests are primar-

Iily concerned with the plant untri- ent status of the soils in so far

as it indicates the kind end e- jmount of fertilizer required for the crops grown, and also with Ithe acidity of the soil or soil re- .lCLl0.Il.

Owing to the nature of the par- .-nt materials upon which Prince Edward island soils have been armed. as well as to the effects of the soil forming yiocesses which have been responsible for their development. the soils of the province are not naturally rich in plant nutrients.

The total amoun of plant nutri- ents naturally present in a soil IS not as important for crop pro- motion as the supply of A ailable

of plant nutrients is determined umheref I I o

is , I. For instance. the organic matter content at a soil and the soil reaction or degree of acidity have an important influence on the availability of both the nutri- ent elements in the soil and of those applied in fertilizers.

STRONGLY ACID

Prince Edward Island soils are naturally strongly acid in reaction and the active organic matter tends to be depleted rapidly when the sons are brought under cul- tivation.

The results of laboratory deter- minations made on soil samples sent in by farmers in different sections of the province may serve to indicate in a general way the level of available plant nutrients of cultivated soils under prevail- ing cropping and soil management

plant nutrients. The availablity

practices.

PER CENT OF SAMPLES IN DIFFERENT LEVELS

Readily Available Low Medium High Nitrogen 42.0 38.0 HLO Phosphorous 47.0 34.0 19.0 Potash 56.0 ND 14.0 Calcium 17.0 37.0 24.0 Magnesium s1.o 44.0 25.0

These results indicate that. al- .iough relatively high amounts of liemical fertilizers are used in the province, the soil manage- ment practices followed are not such as to maintain a high level of available plant nutrients in the soils.

Laboratory tests have also shown that 67.0 per cent of the soils sampled were extremely to strongly acid in reaction, PH 4.2 to 5.6; no per cent medium acid. PH 5.7 to 6.2 and l0.0 per cent slightly acid or better, pH 6.3 to 7.6. It is generally recog- nized that soils which are strong- ly acid in reaction are not in a suitable condition for the best growth of most crop plants. This is in part due to the fact that strongly acid soils are not in the best condition for maintaining a hgh level of available plant nutri- ents.

The organic matter of 72.0 per cent of the soils tested was not high, ranging from 2.5 to 3.5 per ”cent. Soil organic matter not only plays an important role in keep- ing plant nutrients in a form available for plant use. it also is the primary source of soil nitrogen and of a large part of other mineral elements- There. ore. every effort should be made to maintain the organic matter content of the soil at as high a level as possible.

MONTAGUE UNITED W. M. S.

..'The regular meeting of the Women's Missionary Society of Trinity United Church, Montague, was held at the home of Mrs. Arnold Wigbtman Tuesday with

twenty.gwo Jnemhers and six guests present. Devotion was led by Mrs. A:

Minutes were read and approv- ed. In answer "to Trlnldad's need, Mrs. Reynolds, a friend of the so- clety. offered to make up into books any greeting cards donated by members: roll call next meet- ing to he answered with cards. Mrs. J. M. Fraser reported that the C.G.I.T. would be ready to affiliate at the next meeting. Spring thank offering service was discussed. Mrs. Louis Johnston was placed in charge of music and Mrs. J. M. Fraser and Mrs. Ethan Stewart in charge of guest speak- er.

An interesting chapter of the study book was given by Mrs. Ethan Stewart. Next meeting will be held at the home of Mrs. Leon Johnston, with Mrs. Lester Mac- Lead as devotional leader and Mrs. J. M. Fraser. study book; lunch committee. Mrs. Horace Fraser and Mrs. Bert Haneveld.

Bedeque Notes-

-Rev. Theo. Ross, Lot 16, was a visitor to Bedeque, Central Bede ue and North Bedeque on Marc 22nd.

Mrs. Thorne Affleck, Lower Bedeque, is a patient in the Prince County Hospital where she under- went an operation. Her many friends and relatives hope for her an early recovery.

Dr. Frank MacFarlane left on Monday. March 23th, for England where he expects to spend about two months. The Doctor is a hat- ive of Lower Bedeque. but most of his practice was in the United States. He has been retired for several years and' spends part of his time with relatives in this com- munity.

Mrs. '1'. J. Inmnn, Central Bedeque, has been a patient in the Prince County Hospital suffer- ing from an attack of virus pneu- monia. Her condition has so im- proved that she expects to be home by the end of the month.

Mr. and Mrs. Walter Bowness left on March 26th. by motor for a two weeks visit in the United States where they will be guests of relatives and friends.

The condition of Mrs. Judson Blackmore. who has been a patient in the P. C. Hospital for the past several weeks, is slowly improv- ing.

Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Murray spent the week-end with relatives in Summerside.

-B. Q.

Onlyloses 52 Cents

OTTAWA, (CP) -- Railway pas- sengers who stagger at the sight of dining car price tabs may be interested to know that the CNR says it loses 52 cents on each meal it serves.

Up until last year. president Donald Gordon said Tuesday. the CNR lost an average of 59 cents on every train meal. It cut that by seven cents during 1954.

"We hope to accelerate this trend,” Mr. Gordon told the Com- mons railway committee, explain- lng that the reduction was.brought about partly by a dinette car service and by eliminating some frills in the regular dining cars.

Mr. and Mrs. Gsaghuta, who spent the winter h rlottetown, have returned to their borne h Wood Islands East. I

The local hockey team has play- ed several gsmes this season, but have not met with as much suc- cess as last year. Guess the boys miss three of their players who are absent namely: Sandy Blue OSS of the R. C. N., who is now stationed at Cornwallis, N. S., Les- ter Whlte OSS of the Queen Char- lotte; and Robert White, a patient in the Provincial Sanatorium.

The many friends of Sandy Blue of Little Sands, who is now sta- tioned at Cornwallis, N. S., regret to hear that he is a patient in the hospital there. All wish Sandy a speedy return to good health.

On St. Patrick's Day, a flock of wild geese (21 by count) was seen flying almost over the buildings here. Flocks were reported prev- ious to that and since. So there

well at thia Job.

A box of clothing is being packed in the district for the needy in Korea. sponsored by the High Bank and Little Sands Women's Institute. Let us give freely as God ioveth a cheerful giver.

Our mailman, Mr. Leon Mac- Phee of Hopefield, has delivered the mail by truck nearly every night all winter, except a very few nights (possibly two or three). This is wonderful service and now that Spring is here we wonder if he will be able to keep this record up. it will of course depend on the roads.

Tom Gosbee and sons of Murray Harbour, who were operating a saw mill in Hopefield for nearly two months have completed their work there for this season. and no doubt by now have returned to their home in Murray Harbour.

seem to be lots of wild geese on the move. Wonder if they'll find nesting places and begin to lay as early as the domestic geese here- First goose egg reported here March 17.

' Several farmers were getting their wood sawed up in stove lengths on Friday, Saturday and M o n d a y. They were taking advantage of the cold, frosty, dry weather, which prevailed the last few days, which is very suitable weather for sawing wood.

St. Patrick's Day was blustering with several heavy showers of snow which melted as soon as it touched the ground. The next day was frosty and sunny. We are very fortunate in the South Eastern part of the Island as to the amount of snow fall this winter. Although the snow plough came through here several times. there was no need of it. Only about once as far as the amount of snow was concerned, even then cars were getting through. The snow plough scraped and levelled the road here a few times; although a wonderful win- ter. now that its Spring is officially here, we can look forward to Spring weather. The snow that greeted us this morning March 21. was all gone again at noon; scarce- ly any ice on this side of the Strait.
