COUNTY AGENT'S REPORTS Spud Planting By Dark of Moon Held Of No Advantage WASHINGTON, Aug. 30. (API Pluutlug potatoes lu the drk of the moon Is no insur ance of a good crop, the Smith sonian Institution solemnly de clared today. . Many old beliefs that moon light lufluencee plant growth were anulyzed for the first time by an Institution scientist and (ound to be erroneous. Dr. Karl S. Johnston, plant physiologist, concerned himself principally in the experiments with the effect on plums of pol arized light, thu rnys of which vibrate in only one direction. Moonlight Is sunlight which pol arized in being' reflected from the moon's surface. Johnston found there was no difference between polarized and non polarized light in the way In which plums turned to ward it. T, L'DKVAM.IS, Auk. 30.

"Sec Us First We Can Save You Money" " Douglas County v i s- Farm Bureau Cooperative Exchange Roseburg, Oregon . . . CROP NEWS EARLY ATTENTION Plantings Should Precede Harvesting of Prunes, Agent Advises. Cover crops should not be over looked by Doujtlua county orchard tats, according to County Agent .1. Rolu ml Parker, and plantings should be inada as early as pos sible, preiorubly before prune bur vest and immediately following the harvesting nf pears. Planting of cover crops in orchards will bring two kinds of benefits to many orchurdists this year. Those who signed work sheets under the soil conservation program and did not plow under a green manure crop this year may earn a benefit of 2 per acre for the seeding of the green manure crop, providing the soil building allowance for the farm has not been used up by oth er soil building practices before the actual seeding of the cover crop. Cover crops In orchards assist hi maintaining the soil fertility by increasing tlie organic mutter, which In turn Increases the water holding capuclty. Cover crops al so prevent excessive loss of soil by erosion and the loss of available pluut food by leeching. Various Types Needed IMfforent soil type.4 will require different cover crops to secure a maximum growth of vegetation to be plowed In under. Oats and vetch or whiter pens and oats usually gives besl results on the more ferlilo hill and river bottom lands, while rye and must aril itHuully makes the best growth on the thinner and poorer soils on bench and hill lands. The following are recommenda tions of the rate of seeding for different kinds of cover crops : Common vetch, 4n (o 50 pounds per acre: winter oats, HO pounds. When winter or hairy vetch is used, it should be seeded ut the rate of 25 to ,1u pounds per acre, with 50 to til) pounds of rye. Aus trian winter peas seeded at 75 to HO pounds per ucro has given good results on the better soils. Where cover crops have not given a satis factory growth lu past years, win ter rye seeded at the rule or tit) pounds to 100 pounds per acre Is recommended, and on such lands a light seeding of hairy vetch with the rye Is also recommended. o "AD" CAMPAIGN TO PUSH APPLE TRADE WKNATCHKK.

J. Crawford farm at beady, A group of farmers visiting the pluntings on the Crawford farm last Wednesday were told that wheat sown on a field where sweet, clover was grown for two years produced 12a bushels of grain on approximately three acres, or more than double the yield of adjoining1 land upon which no legume bad been grown. Sweet clover in the fields view ed also showed that It wus a crop that would produce an abunduiice of green summer pasture. Mr. Crawford has been successful in seeding sweet clover on hill and black mud land when drilling ap proximately 1,000 pounds of agri cultural limestone with the sweet clover early in the spring. The lirst planting of sweet clover was made by Mr. Crawford In tho spring of 1935. In lU3t approxi mately two acres was seeded on laud on which alfulfa had been drowned out during the previous winter and now stands higher than a man's head. The field is being saved for seed, and Mr. Crawford states that he plans on Increasing bis acreage of sweet clover as fust as possible. Special equipment ia necessary to seed sweet clover, and lime stone, and it is expected that by early w later a local implement bott.se will have in stock a drill which will permit seeding increas ed acreages of sweet clover by farmers in the county, and which will enable seedings to be uitpie at a substantial saving. Drilling the sweet clover seed with limestone at a rato of not more than half the limestone required by broadcast ing is putidblo by improved meth ods. sum BUSY , Sl'THKUUN, Aug. 30.
