Oregon Alfalfa and Corn Alex 8mith, who live nix miles west of Ontario has taken one hun dred iind twenty-live Backs of alfalfa H'd from twenty-five acre field. Mr. Smith received fifteen hundred dollars In cash for bis seed crop O. W. ninnton, who Is one of the oldest residents of the Ontario dis trict, threshed one thousand pounds of cleaned alfalfa seed from forty acres, for which he received fourteen cents a pound, or sixty-eight dollars and fifty cents per acre for the seed alone; he also secured a floe first cutting of hay. L. A. Walker, the king of alfalfa seed growers, harvested another bumper crop of airalfa seed this yemr. He never falls to secure a good crop of seed. Last season he took eighty dollars per acre from his alfalfa field, and this season from less than 100 acres he has thirty-five thousand pounds of first class seed. The price he received this year was thirteen cents per pound. Many of our ten and twenty acre farmers are raising alfalfa seed between the rows of young applo trees, and are Retting as high as sixty-five dollars per acre. After the orchards come Into hearing the alfalfa Is turned under for fertilizer. They aro also finding that red clover can be grown very successfully, both for hay and scil in the young or chards. A. Oram .'. whose alfalfa farm Is within one mile of the city of On tario, took 133 sacks from forty acres of second cutting alfalfa, which sold for 11!. .'(00, as well as a large crop of first cutting hav For the past four years Mr. tJramse has marketed1 big crops of alfalfa seed and Inst year also shlpited eight cars of fancy ap ples from his eight acre orchard. Here is the proof of the statement, that al falfa and apples are two leaders and a great combination for the Ontario farmer. (lend lorn Country. Our farmers are beginning lo real ize that this Is a first class corn country. The reason that there has leen hut little corn raised here be fore Is because we have not tried. It was much easier to raise feed In the shape of alfalfa, which has to be seeded only otrce In about twenty years, than to ralso corn that must be planted every year nnd hnreully cultivated several times during the season. There seems to be too much work to gfow corn where alfalfa yields from six to nine tons to the acre, and the only work required Is Irrigating nnd harvesting the crop Oeorge Itouth got a yield this year of nlt.ety bushels of corn to the acre, while his tipluhbor. Mi' Mdrlch.' got about the same yield State liinwn whose farm Is a mile southwest of town has been raising corn on a sin ill patch for several years, always get- i ting a yield or from so u no but I hair, tn tlir acre. 1913 Will be the Big Year For Ontario It is self evident that the Railroads this year will have to operate trains from Ontario on several branch lines and in order to do this they must build lots of side tracks at Ontario and also put in Shops and Round bouses here without any more delay.
