MesuUs of Practical Experiments
On Clackamas County Soil by
Actual Farmers. "
J. S. Risley, of Milwaukie, who is one
of the successful farmers of Clackamas
county, was in town Monday. Mr. Ris-
ley says that his hops and other crops
look well. He sowed a lot of blue stem
wheat, that brings two cents more per
bushel than any other wheat raised in
Eastern Oregon, but it is growing so rap
idly that he is afraid the stalks will fall
over before it matures. Mr. Risley be
lieves in producing timothy and rye
hay mixed. He starts his mixed hay
crop by sowing the timothy in the fall,
and along in February scatters the clo
ver seed broadcast over the ground. This
makes a hay mixture that proves an ad
mirable feed for horses and other stock,
making the animals sleek and healthy
and giving it a great advantage over
timothy alone. Besides the clover roots
prove to be of advantage to the soil,
making tending to make it more mel
low and possesses more enriching quali
ties to the soil than timothy. He pro.
'duces four tons of hay to the acre, mak
ing the extra ton by the addition of land
plaster. After the ground is planted to
hay for three years, it is plowed up and
cultivated in corn or potatoes.
J. L. Mattocks, of New Era, who does
mixed farming, is a great advocate of
raising ryefor stock feed, and cons iJers
chopped rye the greatest thing out as a
feed for horses. It produces about 25
bushels to the acre, and is always a sure
crop.
Some Marion county hop growers are
making efforts this year to improve the
crop. Many of the growers are only
training two vines instead of three as 1
formerly. This gives opportunity for
plenty of sunshine, which tends to keep
away lice and mold, thus producing a
better quality of hop.
