Results of Practical Experiments
On Clackamas County Sou by
Actual Farmers.
Beniamin Wolier, of Needy, says that
taking one year with another, oats is the
most profitable crop that can be raiBea
by a Clackamas county farmer.
L. H. Andrews, of Mount Pleasant,
believes that bay is the best average
crop, in point of profit, that can be pro
duced, provided that it does not have to
be hauled too far to a shipping 'point.
Mr. Andrews claims that while timothy
is an excellent hay to raise for the mar
ket, it impoverishes the soil. He has
demonstrated within the past two or
three years that vetches, a species of
English pea is the most desirable thing
for hay in this section. It grows very
high and is nutricious, Mr. Andrews
keeoinghis horses in prime condition
on vAlr.hes all the vear through. It sells
well in the market, as it makes excel
lent feed for any kind of stock. How
ever, vetches are not a desirable crop
on the same farm where wheat is raised,
as the grains being about the same size,
mix with the wheat grains and are dif
ficult to spnarate. With oats this does
not matter so much.
Postmaster G. A. Schuebel, of Shubel,
who raises mixed crops, says that wheat
is the most profitable crop for the rea'
son that it can be marketed, and turned
into money at any time. At times
other products on the farm are difficult
to dispose of, but the farmer can al
wavs haul a load of wheat to market
and get the money for it.
Robert L. Ringo, of Highland, Be
lieves that wheat is the most profitable
crop that a farmer can raise for market.
He says any kind of fall wheat is good,
and when sown in the autumn is a sure
crop. He is partial to fall wheat.
,F. G. Newkirchner, of Mulino, be
lieves in hay, and timothy hay at that
He says that it should be plowed under
every two years and alternated with
some other crop. In this way the soil
is kept fertHe, and always produces
good crop. He considers hay the most
profitable crop for the reason that it re
quires less labor to handle it than any.
thing else produced. Mr. Newkirchner
says that potatoes are a sure and profit
able crop to raise every year, but re
quires considerable painstaking labor.
8. H. Graham, of Beaver Creek, who
specially makes butter for the market
says that Jersey cows are by all means
the best for farmers, who engage in but
ter-making. For general purposes,
that is cows, that would be good milk
producers, and at the same time that
could be turned over to the butcher
with a profit, Mr. Graham believes that
cross between the Shorthorn and Jer
sey would be the desiratura.
Louis Toedtemeir, of Stafford, who is
one of the most successful potato grow1
ers in Clackamas county, says there is
$2 in raising potatoes, where there is $1
wheat'. This is conditioned how
ever, on the fact ot the grower living
near shipping facilities, as potatoes
should be marketed when a fair price
can be secured, and oftentimes cannot
be hauled off in the fall when roads are
good, while wheat can be taken over the
roads and stored in Warehouses. Mr,
Toedtemeir says that he has made
money in potatoes for the past four
years, but always sells , when potatoes
reach a profitable figure, and does not
hold them too long. He is partial to the
Burbank variety, although In some to
calities Garnet Chiles are favorites. Mr,
Toedtemeir claims that potatoes should
not be planted on the same ground con
tinually. year alter year, but should be
alternated with wheat or other. crops,
