!i 'Soils '
The soils best suited to alfalfa
are those that are mellow, warm,
well drained, 'fertile, sweet and
deep. Alfalfa grows on heavier
soil types that are well drained
and .sweet but . in the. past many
failures have been recorded with
the crop on sour soils that are un
limed and ion heavy, run-down
and poorly drained soils. On soils
that are at all soar an applica
tion of ground lime stone at from
one to four! tons an acre .is prob
ably necessary to make the crop
successful. J s j ,
For some conditions, as where
heavy lime. 'applications are need
ed' and where the crop serves no
special purpose, this may be too
expensive; For poultrymen or
dairymen j who . need green feed
badly during the dry season, the
expense of even a heavy applica
tion of the ground lime stone may
be justified. !
There will probablybe less dis
ease If the alfalfa can follow a
cultivated! :rop or : a grain rop
rather than clover or vetch, espe
cially if th4re has been any stem
rot in eltheir of those crops.' Stem
rot has been present in a $oo&
deal of the jelover and some ofj the
vetch during recent years andj oc
casionally: it may do some damage
to the alfalfa, although usually
not killing lout the Grlmmal(alfa
as extensively as it injured cldver.

ly, i The land should be plowed
early; Any disking or deep .work
Ing should . be made as early ai
possible.' If the land needs levell

with a float. If the floatings are
made between workings and while

pretty successful in scraping off

low places. Subsequent rains set
tle it and show if re-floating Is

, .Amount to Sow : .
Alfalfa seed often contains
some seeds that have an impervi
ous seed coat that does not take
up water, sometimes for many
weeks, and so such seeds do not
sprout. The seeds are small, be
cause of the hard seed and the
fact that the alfalfa seed is small,
it Is usually necessary to use rath
er a liberal amount of seed to be
sure of getting a good stand.
Some folks get a good stand with
as little as 8 to 10 pounds of seed
an acre; but after many years of
experience in western Oregon! we
believe that beginners - sowing on
land that has not been in alfalfa
before should use not less than 15
pounds of seed an acre. I k
How to Sow ' , " ! j
If a good clover or alfalfa seed
drill is available that will sow the
seed at a depth of about one inchf
very good stands may be had
with 10 to 12 pounds of seed per
acre. It is especially Important
that the seed bed be firm under
those conditions. Usually the seed
is broadcasted ' by hand or with a
broadcast sower and covered by
either harrowing lightly, j if the
ground is firm, or rolling with, a
corrugated roller if the ground
is loose. The. important thing is
to get the seed evenly distributed
and not covered too deep, j
Shall a Nurse Crop be Used?
No. Under no conditions where
the crop is grown without irriga
tion should a nurse crop be used.
Even under irrigation, if the
nurse crop Is made . use'ofl the
nurse crop should be sowed rath
er thin. ! - 7 . .
"When to" Sow
The alfalfa should be sowed as
early as possible after the "weath
er Is warm enough for i
prompt germination. If the
fairly
seed
bed Is weedy it may be better to
harrow the land a few more times
and sow, a little later. Seeding
should take place preferably from
about April 15 to May j 15 al
though successful stands have
been- secured with later sowing,
even as late as June 15 Fall
sowing is unsafe. Early sowing is
preferable on clean land in good
tilth.- ji, 1 ' .: .
Fertilizers I.
Usually it is a good plan to put
on 50 to 75 pounds of land plas
ter per i acre previous to sowing
the alfalfa seed. This may be
done any time during March or
early April. It appears to give the
alfala plants a better start.
Care of Young Alfalfa
Simply let It grow. Do not .mow
It unless weeds begin to crowd it
out. Let it grow to a good bloom
stage, It It will without weed in
jury and then cut it and make
hay of it. Too early cutting tends
to weaken the plants. ' j
f -' Summary ji.
Use only good Grimm seed. Sow
plenty of seed on a fine, irm,
well-prepared seed bed, alone and
rather early. 1 I '

to Put Oregon on the Map
delayed rpostly by lack of capital.
The mineral resources of the
Pacific fforth west and the Inter
niountaiiv region are so vast that
their development has been largely
localized I In a few places as the
Coeur d'Alene of Idaho, the cop
per mines of Utah and those about :
Butte. These are the most con
spicuous examples of mineral
development, but they areby no
means the. only places where val
uable mfnes are being dperated,
or where) valuable ore deposits are
known tp exist which have as yet
not been exploited or developed.
In the Cascade.
The upper reaches of all the
streams draining the west slope
of the Cascades are loate4 fnf
mineralized sections. ' Those ont
the upper Santiam nave been'
developed to'the extent of show
ing the extent and value of the
mines being operated. L T
A rcent report of the Elkhorn
mining district, by Professor J. 11.
Batcheller, of tlte Oregon State-
uureau.pi iuinvsfii9 it lair sampio
of what many other sections of
the Cascades carry ' in- store for
the future. .
His report deals more parti
cularly Iwith what is known as
the : Lotz-Larson mines in the?
Elkhornj district. He recites that
this property is admirably situated
as to iiccessibility and powert
having opportunity for good roads
and the; company owns water
rights which guarantee It plenty
of power and water. Already this
company has installed a power
plant which supplies its mines and
camp with power for their mill;
A report by the Tacoma smelter,
Octoberj 12, 1923, on a car load
of ore from this mine shows a
net value per ton ot .$19.41. A
total fof the car of $57ril0. An
other cajr shipped September, 1924
assayed! at the Tacoma smeltet
shows a value of $7.4 2 pr ton
and the net value of the car a(
$195.98. - ' j , . ' , ,
Tests taken every C feet in the
mine show a general average as
say of gold. $1.63; silver, $2.37;
copper, 4.28, per ton. A total of

The .mineral wealth ot Oregon
Is untouched. It constitutes a
