SOIL APOSTLE HERE Professor Holden Interested in Garden Movement. EXPERT TO VISIT SCHOOLS Director of Campaign for Agricul tural Extension In 'Inland! Em pire Will Speak to Pupils on Use of I-and. Professor P. O. Holden Is director of the agricultural extension department of the International Harvester Com pany. His present campaign tn the Inland Empire under the auspices of the commercial, civic and agricultural organisations, which successfully planned the campaign, has been one of the most remarkable agricultural cam paigns ever undertaken. He is assisted by a competent staff or 12 lecturers in his latest plan of putting alfalfa upon every farm. While popularly talked of as the "Holden campaign." it is dis tinctly a campaign for the people. Professor Holden was the originator of agricultural demonstration trains, of agricultural short courses, of the idea of counties employing an agricultural expert, and of many other effective plans, through the agency of which millions of dollars have been added to the agricultural wealth of this county. By his invitation, 6000 minsters preached a corn sermon for the pur pose of "saving souls." As manager of the Funk Farms of 25,000 acres Jn' Illinois, where he oonducted experi ments in seeds and food values for live stock, he was given opportunities for storing a fund of valuable informa tion. Speaking of soils. Professor Holden says: "The fertility of any soil is measured by the amount of plant food that it contains. Continuous cropping, without returning to the soli these vital elements, thus removed, reduce in time to the dai ger point its power to pro duce in quantities which make farming profitable. Experience has shown that the lack of proper crop rotation takes out the supply of nitrogen more easily than any other elements of fertility. Alfalfa greatly Improves the fertility and me chanical condition of the soil. Numer ous experiments conducted by the col leges, as well as the experiences of the farmers themselves, prove the adapt ability of this great crop to the soils and climate of the Northwest. "The yields that have been reported are from four to k tons per acre per year. It is the opinion of the exnerts that continuous cropping of .wheat from year to year will ultimately ex haust the soil of its fertility and it is necessary that-some leguminous cron De piacea in rotation witn wheat. "Alfalfa will, in turn, stimulate liva stock and dairying Interest and. of ne cessity, bring about a diversified sys tem of farming." "In regions where alfalfa has not been grown it is found to be necessary to innoculate the ground or seed." STUDENT ENGINEERS ELECT a Henry Odeen, of Portland, Heads Body at Corvallis.
