S. FOX, Secretary PRINEVILLE, OREGON FERTILIZER INCREASES WHEAT PRODUCTION Traffic Manager Mlllor Soy Oro0on Doesn't Got Results From Its Great Wheat Area Traffic Manager Miller, of the O. W. R. & N. Company's lines, makes the point that Oregon has not begun to get results from its great area of wheat land in cul tivation speaking, of courses in a comparative sense. According to Mr. Miller's view, there is al together too much fallow farm ing. Mr. Miller says that the state of Kansas raises more wheat than is produced in the entire Pacific northwest with the state of California added. Wheth er this statement be correct or not, the particular point he makes is evidently well established, .which is that in this section of the country the acre yield is not well sustained. Fallow farming means idleness of land for purposes of recuper ation. The qualities which the wheat crop takes from the soil cannot in any sense be replaced, so the wheat farmer believes, without these years of rest or rejuvenation by plowing under the uncultivated growth. The philosophy of it is sound enough, so far as it goes, but it does not go far enough, and it never will so long as we maintain the era of bonanza wheat farms. In connection with Mr, Miller's statement, it is interesting to note that, appreciating failing production in wheat territory, the state of Illinois has been for some years conducting experi ments with a view of developing a cheap commercial fertilizer that will restore to the land what wheat cropping takes away. The result has been that one farm in McLean cojnty, the state ex periments have more than doubl ed the wheat yield by the use of phosphorous compounds manu factured on a commercial basis. In the course of the experiments, wheat plots were cultivated with and without this fertilizer. The average yield without was 24 bushels to the acre, while the average yield on the land where the phosphorus fertilizer was used ran close to 58 bushels to the acre. In a number of counties there has been quite generous use of this type of fertilizer, and by a report issued by the University of Illinois it appears that in Lee county the wheat average has been increased fully one-third over that of last year, while on individual 10 acre farms the yield has run as high 398 bushels by machine measure, giving GO pounds to the bushel. This was simply the scientific ascertain ment of what the soil needed to insure an increased wheat yield, and the condition of smaller and more intensive farming which made the discovery applicable in a general and valuable sense. The future high achievement in Oregon wheat lies in this di rection. We must go after the immigrant who will make the small farmer, and we must go after him for the purpose of put ting him on the farm and get ting him to till it, rather than to sell him the land at speculative values. If we get the right sort of immigrant, and the state agri cultural authorities co-operate with him to the more intensive and scientific cultivation of the land he procures, neither Kansas nor any other state will be able to hold a candle to Oregon in wheat production.
