WAY TO SAVE SOIL
Rotation of Crops Is Recom
mended to Farmers.
PLAN OFAGRICULTURALCQLLEGE
Dr. Witnycoxnbc Telia How to In
crease the Yield of Wheat by
Planting Clover on Same Land
Other Advantages.
CORVAJLLIS, Or., Aug. 18. (Special
correspondence.) Rotation of crops rather
than diversified farming Is -what the Ore
gon Agricultural Experiment Station au
thorltles recommend for the farmers of
this state. Rotation necessarily involves
some diversification, but not the variety
In products that is usually implied by the
latter term. In diversified farming the
producer gives his attention to a number
of crops, each of -which, he Intends to
place upon the market. In rotation of
crops, strictly speaking, the farmer still
has one principal crop to which he gives
his chief attention and upon which he de
pends for his greatest profits, but he al
ternates this crop with others with a
view to preserving the productive quail- i
ties of the solL Abandonment of wheat
growing Is not the purpose of the changes
recommended by the Agricultural College
people In the methods of farming In Ore
gon. The aim is rather to make wheat- j
growing one of the state's permanent and !
profitable industries, and to this end the
farmers are advised to keep their land In !
the best condition for heavier yields of
this staple product. The raising of clover, !
vetches and rape to be fed to cattle, sheep
and swine is only an Incident of wheat- j
growing Intended to keep in the soil those
qualities which are essential to continued
fertility.
Economy in the cost of production Is the
secret 'of tsuccess in farming, as In almost
every other industry. This does not nec
essarily mean a reduction of the total ex
pense of farming a given area, but a pro
duction of the greatest amount of mark
etable material at the lowest relative cost
The cost of growing an acre of wheat
yielding 30 bushels Is little more than is
involved In the production of 15 bushels i
on the same area. To plow land while
lying idle, in the case of Summer fallow,
is a waste of labor, if the same results
in renewed productiveness can be accom
plished by the growing of a crop of clo
ver which can be made to yield a profit
in itself. It Is because clover has been
found profitable, and Is also one of the
best crops to restore worn-out soli, that
It is recommended as an alternate with
grain.
Befit Plan of Crop Rotation.
The routine that Is recommended by Dr.
Janaes Withycombe, director of the Ag
ricultural Experiment Station, is a simple
one Clover should bo sown in the Spring
on t field upon which Fall wheat is grow
ing, Between the middle of February and
the, middle of March six pounds of red
closer and two of alslke to the acre should
-be town broadcast over the wheat. On
heavy soil the proportion! alsike should
be increased a little. About April 1 there
should be scattered over the land about
0 pounds of land plaster to the acre.
This Is not a fertilizer, but is put upon
the land for the purpose of rendering the
potash in the soil more soluble. The plas
ter will cost 60 cents per 10D pounds, or
SO cents per acre, and about 20 acres can
be covered In a day. The results will
not always show an Increased yield of
clover on account of the use of land
plaster, but rery frequently an Increase
of 50 to 100 per cent will be had.
In the Fall the crop of wheat should be
taken off the land as usual, and the grain
stubble, containing the clover, should be
pastured. In this, as In any other kind
of pasture, care should 'be taken not to
feed down too close. If the first crop of
clover Is to be used for hay, the land
may be pastured lightly In the. Spring
until May 1. Pasturing makes the crop
mature late,' so that the hay harvest Is
more likely -to miss the rains, which often
Injure clover. The clover should be ready
to cut between June 15 and July 1. If the
first crop is to be used for silage, it
should not be pastured Jn the Spring.
In this case the clover will be ready for
the silo early in June. The yield should
be about 12 tons of green clover per acre.
The advantage in using the first crop
for the silo is that there is no danger of
injury by rain.
The second crop of clover may be cut
The land can be pastured until the mid
dle of the month the green feed will be
plentiful enough to furnish pasturage.
The land canbe puastured until the mid
dle of December, and from March 1 to
the middle of April the next season. A
crop of hay or silage can then be taken
off In June, and the land pastured freely
until time for plowing in the Fall. The
field should be sown to Fall wheat, which
will be the only crop the following sea
eon. ' The growing wheat can be pastured
In both Fall and Spring with sheep, swine
or calves, but the stock should not be
kept on the land when It Is too wet.
When the wheat crop has been harvested.
Fall' oats should be sown, together with
two or three pounds of rape seed to the
acre. The rape will make good Fall and
Winter pasture, and the following Spring
the land should be plowed for corn. The
corn should be planted and cultivated in
the usual manner. In the Fall the corn
ground should be gone over with a disk
harrow: Fall wheat should be put In with
a drill, and In the Spring red clover and
alslke sown again in the commencement
of another routine of crops.
Sonic -Advantages of Rotation.
In this rotation of crops there is a
minimum of plowing, which cuts dow
the expense. The plan contemplates that
as much as possible of the clover, wheth
er as silage or hay. shall be fed to stock
on the farm, so that the salable crop
shall go off in the form of milk or meat,
while the refuse is returned as a fer
tilizer to the soli. Besides Increasing the
producing qualities of the soil, the clo
ver smothers out some of the weeds, while
others are destroyed when the crop of
hay or silage Is cut. Weeds not thus ex
terminated should be killed when the corn
crop Is cultivated, and In the course of
one rotation the land should be compara
tively free from the foul seed that is be-
coming such a curse to Willamette Val
ley farms.
Vetches for Red Soils.
Red soils are not suitable for clo-er.
Owners of such land are advised to use
vetches instead, sowing 1 bushels of the
seed to one bushel of wheat to the acre in
the FalL The crop may be pastured all
the next year, or converted Into silage or
hay and pasture during the remainder, of
the season. If no vetch seed has matured.
the ground may be used the following
season for wheat. The great difficulty
with vetches is that when the seed, once
gets Into wheat it can scarcely be gotten
out. If vetch seed has matured, it should
be allowed to take root lti the Fall, and
then the ground should be plowed in the
Spring for Spring wheat. In this way the
vetches wlX be killed out. Vetches help
to renovate the soil, but do not make as
good a crop for .this purpose as clover.
All leguminous plants Increase the sup
ply of available nitrogen In the soil, but
on account of its long roots, clover Is the
best crop to restore the soli to Its natural
state.
To Get Rid of Vetch Seed.
At "McMInnvHIe, a few days ago, H. M.
Daniels, of the Star Milling Company, told
The Oregonlan correspondent of two de
vices he. has invented for the purpose of
removing vetch seed from wheat, and It
will not be inappropriate to describe the
process in this connection. The first con
trivance consists of two smooth steel roll
ers -placed on an incline and turning down
ward toward each other. The rollers are
placed Just close enough together to crush
a grain of wheat. The vetch seed, being
hard and smooth, slips from the smooth
surfaces and rolls down the incline to the
lower end of the rollers. By this method
the wheat is destroyed for seed purposes.
The other contrivance consists of a long.
broad canvas belt running upon a slight
incline. The wheat containing vetch seed
is fed slowly upon this canvas while mov
ing upward. The incline is Just great
enough so that the vetch seed, being
round, will roll downward, but the wheat,
being flat, will He on the canvas and be
carried upward. Neither of these ma
chines is patented. The roller system Is
In use by several flouring mills.
Rape as a Rotation Crop.
Rape Is another crop that may be grown
in rotation with wheat for the purpose of
renovating the soil. Following a crop of
oats harvested In the usual manner, the
rape seed Is put in In drills 2 feet apart.
It is then cultivated all Summer the same
as corn, and Is pastured continuously
with sheep or hogs. In the Fall the land
may be seeded to wheat. The value of
this crop lies principally in the opportu
nity for cultivation at the same time that
crop is eaten by stock, by means of
which the land is fertilized.
Clover Seed Plowed Under.
Several farmers have adopted a novel
plan of seeding clover at the same time
that they turn under a. good mellowing
crop. They lot the last crop of clover
stand until It has gono to seed, and then
they plow It under a deep furrow. The
seed will He dormant indefinitely. Wheat
is sown on the land and harvested the
next FalL Iatc in the season the land
Is plowed, thus turning the clover seed up
ugaln, and Fall oats are put In. The oats
and clover grow together. The oat crop
Is taken oft In the Fall, and the next
two seasons clover Is produced.
No arbitrary rule can be laid down gov
erning the number of head of stock that
may bo pastured on wheat or clover at
any season of th year. The farmer
should take care .-not to overstock his
farm, but there Is little danger from this
source. In the form of silage and hay
clover may be preserved until needed for
feed at seasons when pasturage is not
available. When thus fed, the manure
should be carefully preserved and returned
to the land before the next plowing begins.

PANAMA. Colombia, Aug. 18. Com
mander William P. Potter, of the United
States special service steamer Ranger;
United States Consul Gudger, and Port
Captain Beers, of the railroad terminal,
sailed yesterday on the etcamer Bolivia
to make a tour of Inspection along the
coast They went as far as San Carlos
and returned here tpday. Mr. Gudger
said the party found no traces of revolu
tionists, and without doubt they are
concentrated at the siege of Agua Duke.
According to the last reports, the soldiers
of General Herrera, the revolutionary
leader, had lntrenchments about 500 yards
from the town, whore they remained all
day because the sharpshooters of General
Berti, the commander of the government
forces, picked off every man who dared
to leave the trenches. The men are ex
posed to the rain and sun, and in govern
ment circles It la believed the position of
Generals Berti and Morales Is not des
perate. The British cruiser Phaeton left here
hurriedly Sunday. It is believed she
sailed for Bucna Ventura.
Concul-General Gudger will leave here
tomorrow for Colon. General Salazor,
Governor -of Panama, today sent Mr.
Gudger a very complimentary letter
thanking him for his services to the
Colombian Government, which. General
