Hugh, I'm one of the susceptible ones that does follow up on rumors, kind of
like some people chase fire engines and others chase UFO sightings. Big
difference, though. Usually when there's smoke there's a fire. If you could
produce a bonafide research trial of radionics and BD prep dust and some of
that other stuff actually working, please let us know and we'll flock on it
like a goose on a June bug. To blame the universities for not doing research
because there's no money from the big boys is a cop out. Thousands of
farmers across America do on-farm trials every year, and I'll wager that 90%
of them at one time or another has tried one or more of the things
advertised in Acres USA. Last year a salesman bragged that I could double my
potato yields by applying a certain mineral powder at the rate of 500# per
acre, with absolutely no other fertilizer required. So I tried it on a few
rows. I planted 150 pounds of potato seeds, and harvested 50 pounds of
potatoes. In another trial, a fellow claimed all sorts of things if I
blasted a certain sound over my garden and sprayed some secret, very
expensive potion. The sound emits from a little black box. My dog peed on
it. I guess my energy vibes are all wrong.
