I can't help you with that, although I will say that He most likely had nothing whatsoever to do with HWA/WCG, and the huge letdown that results from that realization is what has caused much of the disbelief.<br /><br />As for the unbarbed part of your question, there was a farmer or horticulturalist named Klepfer in WCG, who did develop a type of natural fertilizer that someone in the authority structure of the college or church named after him.<br /><br />The church was quite taken with the potential of KMP, and sermons were given about how now the church was able to foreshadow to the world the blessings everyone was going to enjoy in the millennium through farming God's way. Obviously, the stuff never got its wings, as a google search produces no pertinent results.<br /><br />As a side note, John Trechak documented the failure, bankruptcy, and loss of land huge numbers of WCG farmers suffered as a result of being coerced to follow the church-taught farming methods, and much of the blame was laid on Dale Shurter. You have to wonder about the sanity and discernment capabilities of someone attempting to revive such a debacle. <br /><br />BBByker Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15602697337552385535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-18439444816376209152013-06-24T11:26:10.991-07:002013-06-24T11:26:10.991-07:00"Remember Klepfer Miracle Powder?

Remember Klepfer Miracle Powder? I think HWA had actually shared that with the Egytians and Israelis! <br /><br />In or about 1967-68 the head honchos of the gardening department on the Pasadena campus were all excited. Just in from Texas was the information that the ag people there had isolated three primary types of bacteria from a cow's digestive system, and had developed a way to disseminate it over fields. In a special shed, they set up what appeared to be a brewery tank from one of the beer factories, and began concocting what became known as "the experiment".<br /><br />Fast forward a couple of months. Suddenly, it was ready for spreading, and grounds staff filled a special tanker and pump and began broadcasting it all over the dichondra lawns and shrubs. Problem was, the "isolated" cow bacteria shared one notable characteristic with the real thing. As the ever humorous Monte Wolverton was heard to quip after getting a whif, "That stuff smells like somebody's colon!" Another student renamed AC's special grass, calling it diahchondra.<br /><br />Of course, I had been there the year before, and really didn't notice any substantive difference between the results of the experiment, and feeding the plants with ammonium nitrate. The ammonium nitrate didn't produce any bad odors at the alleged center of cultural enrichment, there in Pasadena, but this was apparently lost on the power structure of the day. Chemical = bad, natural = good, even if the chemicals are simply purified and concentrated substances found in nature.<br /><br />BB<br /><br />Byker Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15602697337552385535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-28047005521978469232013-06-24T09:22:49.092-07:002013-06-24T09:22:49.092-07:00I'm pretty sure the College of Agriculture at ...I'm pretty sure the College of Agriculture at Clemson University here in SC and scores of other high end AG schools just might take exception to Dave Pack and Dal Schurter's views and ideas about agriculture. <br /><br />As I told you privately, I believe if Dave attached the old Big Sandy Digester, designed to process trash into soil, to either end of his food tube, Dave and Dale could keep the Digester busy for years. <br /><br />In reality, the Digester seemed never quite to work as advertised and fell into disuse. It looked like a Saturn 5 rocket casing with no engines or capsule. It's gotta be somewhere so maybe Dave can have it shipped to Ohio. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />DennisCDiehlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10417850852638492246noreply@blogger.com
