The Aloha House Story: Serving the Community Through Agricultural Extension

A Small Farm Resource Center (SFRC) is a research-extension tool that coordinates trials at a central site, as well on the fields of individual farmers, with the purpose of evaluating, within the community, ideas that have been proven elsewhere. Dr. Martin Price

Workfare is for adults

Children should never miss out on

an education

WSU Puyallup Research and Extension Center launches the Master Gardener Program on September 2, 1972.

On September 2, 1972, Washington State University's cooperative extension agents unveil a Master Gardener Program at Tacoma Mall and seed an international urban-

horticulture institution. The program will grow into a high-visibility phenomenon. As of 2007, there were more than 4,000 Master Gardeners in Washington state and the model has been adopted in almost all U.S. states and several Canadian provinces,

with one chapter in England. Master Gardeners, under the aegis of WSU’s

The MBRLC was conceptualized in the mid-1960s but then implemented and

officially opened on September 8, 1971. The originator and founder, Mr. Harold Ray Watson, along with his wife (Elizabeth Joyce) and three sons, lived at the center in Kinuskusan, Bansalan,

Davao del Sur. Initial money for establishment was given by the

Foreign Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention (USA)

We are grateful to God for His faithfulness in His ministry. He is using us more to reach His people in rural areas with our new ministry (True Vine Organic Ministries - John 15:1-5.)

We are beginning our organic agriculture training with rural church leaders and farmers. We had a three days seminar of sustainable organic farming with rural church leaders and farmers. It was very much fruitful. About three hundred persons attended the seminar. All the participants appealed to us to establish intensive training centers in their areas. We had the seminar from Wednesday, April 10 - Friday, April 12, 2013. We need your prayers for there is a need to training them.

Attached is a praise letter.

We love you,

Hog feed

1. High levels of phytic acid in soy reduce assimilation of calcium, magnesium, copper, iron and zinc. Phytic acid in soy is not neutralized by ordinary preparation methods such as soaking, sprouting and long, slow cooking. High phytate diets have caused growth problems in children.

2. Trypsin inhibitors in soy interfere with protein digestion and may cause pancreatic disorders. In test animals soy containing trypsin inhibitors caused stunted growth.

3. Soy phytoestrogens disrupt endocrine function and have the potential to cause infertility and to promote breast cancer in adult women.

4. Soy phytoestrogens are potent antithyroid agents that cause hypothyroidism and may cause thyroid cancer. In infants, consumption of soy formula has been linked to autoimmune thyroid disease.

5. Vitamin B12 analogs in soy are not absorbed and actually increase the body’s requirement for B12.

Soy Alert!

• Soy foods increase the body’s requirement for vitamin D. Toxic synthetic vitamin D2 is added to soy milk.

• Fragile proteins are over-denatured during high temperature processing to make soy protein isolate and textured vegetable protein.

• Processing of soy protein results in the formation of toxic lysinoalanine and highly carcinogenic nitrosamines.

• Free glutamic acid or MSG, a potent neurotoxin, is formed during soy food processing and additional amounts are added to many soy foods to mask soy’s unpleasant taste.

• Soy foods contain high levels of aluminum, which is toxic to the nervous system and the kidneys.

Why Grass-Fed is Best

More Fat-Soluble Vitamins – A, D, E, K - in the fat.

More CLA - anti-cancer & weight loss compound - in the fat.

More minerals - mostly in the fat.

To get the benefits of grass feeding... you must eat the fat!

And I will send grass in thy fields for thy cattle, that thou mayest eat and be satisfied.

Turtleponics

Water hyacinth utilize the nutrient load from the turtles and grow

rapidly. The turtles will consume the plant so growth rate and quantity of plants need to be balanced. This is

an appropriate companion system if quantities of water hyacinth out

grow the consumption rate of the turtles.

Duckponics

Duckweed utilizes the nutrient load from the fish and ducks and grow rapidly. As ducks mature addition grow ponds are available to grow

more duckweed.
