ALFALFA FOR OREGON.
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.

Miss Sophia Kittlcson, Evanston,

"I have been troubled with catarrh
for nearly twenty-five years and have
tried many cures for It, but obtained
very little help.
"Then my brother advised me to try

"My health was very poor at tho
time I began taking Peruna. My
throat was very sore and I had a bad
cough.
"Pcruna has cured me. The chronic
catarrh is gone and my health is very
much Improved."
I recommend Peruna to all my
friends who aro troubled as I was."
