Is Proving Good Forngo Crop for tho miiK uoWi Dy Jameii Diydon, Oretron Agricultural CoIIckb Corvallln, There Is n groat deal of milk In tho ground that wbh not npillod and cried over, out it io there nevertheless. At corinm Bcnsono or tho year tho Thous-and-Hcndcd kalo pulls tho milk out of mother earth and the cow pulln It out oi mo Kaio and puts It In tho bucket There is a period, however, durlntr thr summer when tho cows go hungry nnd tho milk languishes in tjio ground be cause thoro in no green th ng to pull it oui nna coax mo cow to fill tho mil buckut. vvestern Oregon is one of tho boat dairy Bectlons of tho union. With mild open winters In which kale flourishes and furnishes green succulent food, tho dairy business thrives all tho year around with tho exception of a short porlod during tho cummer. During mis poriou mo land ts out of commie Blon, tho cows bnrcly subsist on tho pasture fields and thero is no profit to tho fnrmor. Forty-cent butter and scarcity of good fresh milk is tho evi denco of a lack of crecn food. What is needed in tho valley is a for age crop that will utilize tho soil nnd furnish green food and pasture during tno ary season, will alfalfa fill the bill7 If alfalfa could bo raised extcn Bivoly nnd successfully it would chnngi tho face of nature and add immensely io mo vniuo or tho farms in tho Wil Jametto valley. It would increase th umry prouucui anu mo poultry pro- uucw; tt would cheapen tho production or pork nnd beef and mutton. Alfalfa hns been grown for two thousands ycarB in tho Mediterranean region. It has been grown successful ly In arid parts of America for half century. A gentleman traveling over what was then regarded as a land unfit for settlement in Western Nebraska bv reason of its aridity discovered a thrif ty green alfalfa plant growing where no other green thing could bo found for miles around. That was a demonstra tion that satisfied the gentleman and he purchased a largo tract of land for n trifle. On tho same land ho has since fed fifty thousand sheep in one season on alfalfa. Alfalfa goes down into th depths of tho soil for moisture and through wireless communication with the atmosphere brings down from above food which feeds the plant and enriches the soil. Since 1801 the acreage of alfalfa in Kansas has increased from 34,388 to 015,000 in 1006. A recent bulletin from that state snye of alfalfa: "Tho steer feeders and mutton feeders of Kansas, Colorado and Nebraska would bo lost without it." At the Kansas station it is stated A gain or ouu pounds or pork was made from a ton of alfalfa, and a little less than that amount of gain was mado from an acre of alfalfa pasture Again, "We found that 100 pounds of alfalfa hay saved 90 pounds of corn Figuring on the basis of these experi mcnts it is stated that "with green al falfa producing ten tons per acre (20, 000 pounds) it would produce 2,000 pounds of pork, which, at 4 cents per pound would bo worth $80 per acre." Director Durkctt, of tho Kansas sta Hon, savo: "uy promoting the sue cessful production of alfalfa the sta tion has not only extended the domin ion of an imperial forage crop, but in so doing has discharged its own entire expense, and in addition hits added mil lions of dollars to the wealth of the state." At tho Ontario agricultural college in ten years 30 cuttings, yielding over 5 tons an acre, were made. An expor imcnt Bhowcd this great soil enrich ing qualities. Wheat grown after al falfa yielded 01. 5 bushcls-per acre and after timothy sod 42.1 bushels. In tho two succeeding years tho alfalfa sod produced 30.2 bushels of barley nnd 24 bushels of corn, while tho timothy sod produced 10.7 bushels barley and 17.9 buHhels corn. Tho thrco crops on the alfalfa sod were worth about $90 while those on tho timothy Bod wore worth about $69. At tho Oregon Agricultural college alfalfa hus been crowing successfully for several years, and tests nro boing made by tho agronomists with different varieties to determine which will suit tho conditions best in this state. Tho station men nro triad at all times to answer questions in regard to its culti vation. A few miles from Corvnllls Mr. W. II. Hamlin cut this year 200 tons of nl falfa hay. It yielded about 2K tons to tho ncro in two cuttiners. Before seeding to alfalfa tho land had been "cropped out." In fourteen years fniirt.o,n erain crons hud been taken from tho land, nnd Mr. Hamlin ex plains that on richer land tho yield is much henvlor. no iurmor uxpuiniH that tho oldest stand yields tho best, showintr that it takes Boveral yenrs on certain classes of soil for tho alfalfa to mako a good growth. Tt nnkn na thoucrh an aitaua cam paign would bo worth millions to this state. o Wlmt in lnonnt bv "50 per cont," .. . ' ... -1 . !4 M0 per cent," mm so on, upnimim A.
