WALLOWA, Ore. (Special) Farm

farms have remained so wet that It

few days of the week past have dried

whlcn were so extremely wet for so

slble. Some seeding of alfalfa la be
ing done at a few of the farms In
the Irrigated parts of the community.
Gunner Carlson .who lives a few miles
east of town reports that he seeded
about eighteen acres of dry land
variety of alfalfa some two weeks ago
and that much of It Is up nicely at
thfca time. Frank Walker who Is farm
ing one of the Brock ranches In the
west part of Middle valley ta getting
a tract of forty acres of land ready
for seeding to alfalfa during the com
ing week.
Farmers who have the money with
which to purchase seed are finding
this spring an exceptionally good time
to seed alfalfa, not only because of
the good moisture conditions, but al
so because of a considerable reduc
tion In the price of seed when com
pared with prices which have been'year
years.
Apparently weather conditions dur
ing the past two or three weeUs have
been quit favorable for allowing a
good growth of 'alfalfa? crops. Many
of the alfalfa fields in the valley are
looking exceptionally good at this
time and with the next few weeks
being favorable for growth It seems
likely that heavy first cuttings of hay
will bo the ens.
Many reports are heard from farm-!
era regarding the stand of winter
wneat in various parts of the county.
Judging from reports It seems thai
practically no fields have what would
be called a first class stand, however.
On the other hand nearly aU fields
present good enough stands that
farmers feel that It Is better to let
them go and make what they will,
rather than to attempt very much
reseedlng. A few of the farmers state
tnat tney win do a little reseedlng on
some small spots where the deep
drifts cauwd some killing of the
wheat.
The thin stands of wheat In nearly
all fields appear to be on land which
last fall and many believe that late J
extremely dry at seeding time
fall rams were not sufficient to keep
the seed coming after It was sprouted
and started, causing a considerable
amount of the seed to be lost In this
.way.

The Pacific coast market, especially
the Portland market, does not have a

It is common knowledge that alt
feeds other than the legume hays,
such as alfalfa, clover, s-iet clover
and the like are lacking In lime. Un
der those conditions stockmen would
find It advisable to carry on a few
trials with their own herd to deter
mine If the feeding of lime would
help, . that Is, give better growth,
boost the percentage of calves raised
and the like. Lime serves several
Important functions in the animal
body. Bones contain 63 per cent cal
cium in one form or another. True,
such feeds as alfalfa and clover carry
enough lime in the plant to care for
the animals' needs. Native grass hays
may not have enough. Calcium serves
In another manner In the animal
body; it insures the proper function
ing of the nervous system.
Bone flour contains phosphorus,
and Is oftimes lound to help in these
feeding problems. When there is
bone chewing among the cattle. It Is
an indication of a craving for lime.
Under those conditions the supply
ing of a mixture made up of equal
parts of limestone (finely ground),
steam bone flour and Bait, equal parts
is worth trying.
Special investigations are neces
sary in order to know definitely
about these things. The mixture re
ferred to above Is not expensive and
could be tried out economically by
the grower who can also watch the
results. Maybe it will make no dif
ference in the way the cattle thrive.
In that event a fellow will know
that it is not lime or phosphate that
Is needed.
A mixture of ground limestone and
salt, say 40-60, might do the trick.
In selecting the limestone, select one
that has a high calcium carbonate
content of at least 06 per cent. It
should be as free as possible from
florine and magnesium, and needs to
bo ground as fine as flour.
Limestone Is not expensive. A very
satisfactory product quoted at Baker
recently contained 98 per cent cal
cium and was quoted at $20 a ton
about the same as salt or less.
