Garden Club Exhibit Creates Interest At Show During the recent garden and flower show in the Asheville city auditorium the Black Mountain Garden club had entered an ex hibit entitled “Organic Gardening Project.” This exhibit in an 8 x 10 foot booth, consisted of samples of the native soil, shredded forest leaves, compost made of these leaves, and the native soil treated with this compost, in one half of the booth. The other half con sisted of vegetables actually grown in this organic mixture. Because of the variety and qual ity of the fruit displayed attending members of the club for the two days of the show were kept busy discussing this method of garden ing with interested visitors. Offi cers of the organization which sponsored the show directed many visitors to this exhibit with the statement that this was the out standing educational exhibit in the entire show. The organic method is a theory and practice of growing plants. It produces fertility and resistance to disease and insect attack en tirely by the use of natural pro ducts—without any chemical ferti lizers or poison sprays. Compost (weeds, leaves, lawn clippings, etc.) which has been acted upon by beneficial soil bacteria, molds and earthworms, is the primary element of fertility in the organic method. Ground rocks of certain types are used occasionally as min eral supplements in deficient soils. Through the ages, until the middle of the 19th century, nature fared quite well in maintaining fertility for growing food crops. Plant disease and insect attack were of minor significance. There was a balance between the de structive forces of nature and the defensive mechanism of the plants. About the year 1840 a German scientist, Baron Von Liebig, con ceived the idea and instituted the use of chemical fertilizers. From that time both the increase in the use of artificial fertilizers and the concurrence of plant disease and insect attack has been rapid. We consider this a clear-cut case of cause and effect. Plans growing under natural conditions, in soil of high fertility, have natural defences against di sease and insects. Plants growing under artificial conditions, in soil which has been treated with chem ical fertilizers, are not entirely normal in structure; such plants may have an imbalance of the various carbohydrates, proteins, minerals and vitamins, and are thereby more attractive to insects. Observation and experiments have revealed this fact. In one re cent experiment two rows of ordi nary bush beans were planted side by side. The soil in one row re ceived an application of standard chemical fertilizer and the other his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Vance Shope of Bee Tree road. Wilma Brank, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Brank, has en tered school this year after being absent for a year. Miss Ann Burnette, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Leslie Burnette of Pine Grove, left Saturday by car for Florida where she is attending school this year. Well, it looks as if winter is not far off. Wild flowers, the golden rod and asters are bloom ing and cricketts are chirping on every hand, and it makes one know winter’s dreary days are not far off. The watch knob of Bee Tree has smoked for years at this time of year as far back as this reporter can remember and it really gave out large columns of smoke Sun day morning around 11 o’clock. Little Herbert Howie, son of Mr. and Mrs. Doyle Howie, has been ill the past week end. Mr. and Mrs. Grad Banks of Riceville visited Mrs. Banks’ par ents at their home on Long Branch Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. Memford Kilby and children visited Mr. Kilby’s par ents, the J. S. Kilbys, Sunday af ternoon at their home on Long Branch. Mr. and Mrs. Grady Morgan also visited Grady’s parents Sunday, the H. G. Morgans. fjiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiimiiiiimiiiiimiiiiitimiiimiiiiiiimiiiii row was dressed with compost. Plants in the first row were ser iously attacked by beetles while plants in the second row (compost) were scarcely bothered. Laboratory analysis has shown that crops grown in fertile organic soil contain more essential vita mins and minerals than crops grown on adjacent plots which were chemically fertilized. This fact is important to your health for if you eat foods grown by the organic method you are assured of nutritional balance, you are also protected against the hazards of poison sprays, some types of which tend to accumulate in the human body. Only a trace of these poisons consumed with each meal can build up to a dangerous level in your system. In addition to fostering human health and producing higher qual ity fruits, vegetables and flowers, the organic method is an instru ment of conservation. Soil which contains a high percentage of organic matter is more friable— does not turn to mud with the first rain or to dust with the first dry spell. It has the ability to absorb and hold much more water, reducing run-off to an absolute minimum. This is a vitally im portant consideration in prevent ing catastrophic floods and eros ion. Organiculture, although not known by that name, was practiced by our ancestors in America, Europe and Asia for centuries. In the last decade, since so many serious questions have been raised about the increasing prevalance of plant diseases, insects and other pests, and the probable effect on human health of poisonous dusts and sprays, this old natural method of enriching the soil has received serious, scientific consideration. As a result many thousands of gardeners and farmers are now organiculturists. Scores of plants are already producing on a com mercial basis purely organic soil builders. Human health and pros perity will come by helping nature to restore the proper balance in the soil once more instead of de pleting it. BROAD RIVER By Mrs. M. M.
