Tho program has been o - ' I given sufficient publicity that the Attend tho Economic Conference, events of tho various duys are ijuilo Farming Trend In Wallowa And Union Changing In keeping with predictions made j by agricultural authorities, ns well I as following pleas made by them, there la an Increasing tendency 'among farmers of this and Wallowa , counties to get away from the. ' straight grain farming, according I to G. V. Meek, of Wallowa, w ho ' also says that the straight grain farming has In tho majority of Instances not proved to be a paying proposition during the past num ber of years. Tho change to other classc of farming operations has been mark ed by the I nc reuse in the number of dairy cowa being kept on the farms and towurd production of more hogs, sheep and so on. . Along with this change In meth ods of farm management have come problems which make neces sary the planting of other crops In order that the proper, kinds of hay, pusturo etc may be had. This condition has caused various farm ers over the country to try some experiments with such crop oh sweet clover, dry laud alfalfa and other gruses which provide a bet ter class of summer pasture. Many of these experiments have proven highly satisfactory and according to a considerable number of farm ers, particularly In the dry farm ing areas of the county, there will ' be considerable sending of sweet clover and some dry laud alfalfa this spring. Truman Poulson of Promise, re ports that ho himself and other ' farmers In his Bectlon havtv been ' fairly successful in gotting good stands of Grimm alfalfa started on their farms and that hay yields from these plots have been very good, It being possibln to get one good cutting and a fairly good sec ond crop In even dry years. He snys they have found It better to cut the first crop just as soon as the first blossoms appear which Is usually about the 20 of June when the huy can bo taken orf the ground, giving the new growth a chance to benefit from tho heavy rains which nearly always come during the last of June or 1st of July. Sweet clover, where anything liko good stands could be secured, has proven a flno pasture crop on the dry lands of this county. Sev eral of tho dry land farmers In this community state that they ex pect to sow several acres of the clover, on their farms this spring. Among thoso who expect to seed a considerable acreage are George Tllton who Uvea In. the valley West of Routine. However, sweet clover Is not new to .Mr. Tllton us during the puat two yeurs he has had about lou acres of the crop on his farm, preferring It to alfalfa, Mr. Tllton sttys tliut he hus found by Tecdlng both alfalfa and sweet clover hay, slock will leave the al falfa and clean up the sweet clover first.
