. Experiments by Utiios county farm-
ters, noi.ao.iy, mat in w. k. l.eooetter.t
and the Eastern Oregon Experimenti
Station at Union, show that soil rus-j
tomarily summer fallowed can be
made to produce every year. It is
brought about in this way:
Fall wheat should be planted in the'
spring. As soon as it is well up, -l
should be pastured. It will maintain
a vigorous growth without heading,'
anil affords great pasture for either
hogs or cattle preferably the latter,
as the effects of the hoofs are not
so severe. After the stock has been
run on it all summer, the wheat will
show fine strength for the next win
ter and produce a record crop the
following Spring. It can then be put
to fall wheat in fall planting again
nnd thus be made to produce either!
wheat, meat or milk continuous! v.
Also it has reduced the cost of culti
vation. Mr. I.edbetter got full 41) bush
els off his field this year and at the
experiment station hogs are doing
very well on the forage this season.
The experiment when completed will
also show how the grain pasture com
pares with alfalfa, peas, and oats and
peas. Similar hogs sre pasturing on
equal-sized tracts and otherwise treat
