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.

OE RAPE AT T H E DALLES
The Dalles Chronicle. Oct. 14

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.
