MKMHKK .... OF , t i i n .i l l l l l STATE K IH TO K IA I V S S tH SWEET CLOVER IN THIS SEED SELECTION FOR COUNTY SEASON 1915 Early thia spring sweet clover was recommended by me to the farmers for dry land, alkali land and the poorer soils under irrigation. Esti mates as to the value of the crop for this section were made and farmers advised to try out small plots plant ed to the White Blooming Sweet Clo ver. About 100 acres of sweet clo ver were planted in Crook county last spring. Blanks for reports upon this crop were sent to all those who had planted it and reports have been received from nearly all of the men In the majority of cases an entirely satisfactory stand was not obtained, but men sending reports to this ef fect have usually blamed the time of planting or the method used rather than the crop itself for the unsatis factory stand obtained. In practical ly every instance those who planted the crop this season will plant a larger acreage next year. As a pasture crop farmers have found that stock will eat the sweet clover -eadily. No losses from bloat have been reported except In one case where one man reports the loss of three sheep from bloat on the clo ver. This comes as a surprise, but it w ill be well for those handling the crop in the future to remember this report and watch carefully for Indi cation of bloat when pasturing sweet clover, until we have a larger experience with this crop as pasture As a hay crop It has been found as acceptable to the stock as is alfalfa after they have learned to like it. and very little trouble has been ex perienced in getting the animals to eat the sweet clover hay. The failures in obtaining a stand of sweet clover have been caused by planting too late on dry land, having the seed bed too loose, and a blow ing out of the crop on very sandy land. On irrigated land the crop was this year planted as late as April 16th. and a good stand and crop ob tained. On dry land seed planted af ter April 1st in no instance gave good returns. The opinion of the men who have tried the crop this year on dry land is that the seed should be planted very early in the season, probably any time after De cember 1st, and not later than the first of March, if the seed Is sprout ed and growth of the plant started, the crop will usually live and pros per throughout the season. Sweet clover is not a “cure-all'' or "the only crop" for Crook county. We have, however, this year proven that it may be made a profitable crop for pasture and hay on our farms in this section. The better the land and the more ideal the moisture conditions, the better will be the crop of sweet clover. But the crop will grow and pay on the poor est land, on rocky land and alkali soils, and in places where other crops will not grow. This will prob ably prove to be its greatest value. If the land Is properly prepared and the seed planted early, it will prove a paying crop on dry lands. Howev er. the greatest value to be obtained from this crop in the next few years in Crook county w ill be the improve ment of the soil by adding plant food and humus to the soils where the crop is grown, even though the crop be pastured or raised for hay. This value is obtained because of the large, thick root growth characteris tic of the plant, and because of its being one of the legumes which ob tain the nitrogen necessary for their growth from the air. Those looking for a crop to im prove their soil for larger produc tion will do well to consider sweet clover. Where other crops already grow luxuriantly, or where a rea sonable profit is being obtained from the lands In growing other crops, sweet clover might turn a less profit, and as stated in the beginning, sweet clover is not recommended for all lands and under all condi tions above other crops; but when other crops will not pay. or it is de sired to improve the soil physically and chemically, sweet clover will prove at least one of the crops that should be planted. A. E. LO VETT. Crook Co. Agriculturist. DR. NORRIS F O I ND G U IL T Y OE RAPE AT T H E DALLES The Dalles Chronicle. Oct. 14 ! The Jury In the case of Dr. E. Rea Norris of Bend, returned a verdict of guilty at 8:30 last night, after being out since yesterday noon Nor ris was charged with criminally as saulting 15 year old Adell Bell of Crook county. Norris, who also re sided in Crook county, brought the girl to this city last July when he committed the crime for which he was convicted. The law provides for a sentence of from three to 20 years for this crime. ( Dr. Norris was convicted at the laat term of the circuit court in this county of contributing to the delin quency of a minor with the same girl. He appealed the case. APPLES I V T IG X lu the selection of seed for practi cally all farm crops beat result» can be obtained by uaing aeed from the best producing plant or plant» If thia be true with crops whose seed la used for planting, how much more true must it be with a crop like po tatoes where the tuber is used for a reproduction of the crop. In selecting potatoes for the mar ket it ia only necessary io have po tatoes of marketable sli;> and condi tion. and it makes no difference whether one or 20 potatoes have been obtained from each hill In the held as far as the price to be obtain ed is concerned. When choosing potatoes for seed, this seed must be sold on the market. We have not yet come to the point where the buy er will Insist that the seed has been obtained from hilla yielding any certain number of potatoes, but the man who is raising his own seed and selecting the same for planting, may increase his profit» many times by selecting seed from those hills hav ing the larger number of potatoes of uniform slxe and type An increase In yield of one potato weighing 8 ounces to each hill on an acre of land will mean an In crease of approximately 2100 pounds of potatoes per acre This amount of potatoes will bring a fair Increase even with potatoes at one- half rent per pound. There will be a large acreage of potatoes harvested In Crook county during the next two weeks It will pay every man who expects to plant potatoes next year to go over his patch of potatoes this year before harvesting and select his seed from the best hills of his field. As shown above, an Increase of one potato per hill per acre means at least 812.00 per acre increase in profits. A man can select his seed in one or two days' time, and figuring from this standpoint alone, he will be well re paid for the time spent in choosing his seed potatoes for next year's crop. In selecting seed potatoes great Importance should be attached to the selection of disease-free pota toes. I have been unable to discov er or learn of any of the more seri ous potato diseases in the potatoes in Crook county If we can keep our potatoes disease-free, we can absolutely depend upon best prices for our potatoes for seed because there are very few sections indeed where potatoes can be found which have as little disease among them as have those of Crook county. If there are any farmers raising potatoes who are not Informed as to the best types of different varieties of potatoes, they may learn these things at the fairs in the county, and more especially at the Redmond Potato Show, where a large number of each variety w ill be shown. I shall be glad to assist any of the farmers Interested In the selection of their potatoes for seed Save only the best, and only the best from the best yielding hills. A. E. LOVETT. Crook Co.
