An afternoon's visit at the Cromley brothers ranch: -For many -years Cromley broth ers were. Hvestockmjen in the big open spaces of Montana v, Eighteen years ago homesteaders- eegau to cut In on the!r range,, and as a result' they t sold out and -came in toHhe Salem iicinlty anjrbought 500 acres from Thomas Brunk In Polk county, seven miles, west of Salem; Oregon. The Cromleys 'were successful stock men in Montana. When they came to Oregon' they brought with them the progressive way of doing things which had brought success there. Their style of farming was changed from llve stoUt to the growing of crops. In making the change they saw, Jn the-beginning, that it 'costs as much, to cultivate a thin acre as a fertile acre, ' while aj fertile acre produces at half the! cost per bushel. They soon proved to their own satisfaction that sheep and clover are one of the most success ful ways to build up and maintain the. fertility of the iaoil, conse quently their system; of farming has" heen based upon the keeping of. at 'least one-third of the farm ing, land in clover, the raising of about 250 sheep each year, and then, to devote the balance of the clover." sod farming . land, to the raising of wheat, oats and barley. Xdt Straight brain In referring to their farming system, Mr. W. J. Crdwley stated. "The people who hink we are straight grain farmers are mistaken,-because we regard clover seed as our principal crop, and this year we will thresh over 100 acres of clover for seed. We sell no clover hay, because there is so much 'more to be mad by utilizing the clover for the sheep, and such a practice builds up the fertility of our soil." . Reducing Production Costs . Life in the big open spaces-of Montana taught the Cromley' boys resourcefulness, nine years ago when they, like other farmers, were so hard pressed jto get Satis factory v labor : to carry on with their 400 acres of farming land, they turned to the small combine harvester as solution of their greatest, difficulties.4:' They have harvested, their . own grain .and clover seed rops, as wellas, some of their neighbors' crops, for nine years. J!

Jn searching for these! economical methods it im pcessed me trem'endrj ously to hear 4ha Cffomley boys say that from;the rery f irstf the combine has. been a .success with them and. hat they are now using their secopd iJachin'George R.. who .'operates the combine; men tioned that they, were 'mightily well pleased with the machine they purchased last year, and that any faults which the ' first machine had, which they, purchased in 1918, were evercome in the new model. Speaking . of economical harvesting he stated,' 'I have yet to find the first man who has gone back to the . binder-separator method after using a combine, and certainly I wouldn't! ; Whe I first operated a machine some one told me that I would soon get tired of It. Well, I haven't ot tired yet, and this will be the tenth year. Tbe trouble with so many of our. Oregon farmers is that they are always trying to find some reason why a new machine won't work," We have cut our clover each year with the combine and hare 'gotten as much if not more seed than under the old method of cutting and then hull ing; it. Thur yearr I .have made some changes-andimprerrementa in the clover hiiller attachment, and I am looking forward to doing a splendid Job of cutting our 100 acres of clover aeed." Profitable Short Cuts ' W. J. is the oldest brother. He has -reached ,tbe station, in life where he ; is Interested in short cuts, and possibly that is why the combine has -meant so much to him. In referring to It he stated, "I would 'not think of harvesting any other way, because It" is so much : cheaper and quicker,' and we are through harvesting while we 'would bej binding the other way. And besides we do not have a crew of men around for my sister Emily R. to cook for all summer. We have never had any trouble with the grain uut ripening evenly and we have cut all kinds of crops. Once ina while spring oats will nojt; ripen upjjke wheat or barley, and in . that ' case always stand the-saeka up on end,-sewed, end dbwri; and then after .few days aTBrtthd-tf d -TafiL' a " f fw iiu open inem ai yet we have never lort aaaack of oats.

Last year Bruce Cunningham had a 100 acre field of barley' that . was' too ' short to bind. He begged us to cut it for him, and we did it as a matter of accomodation and it picked up every head. In clover hulling we found that the pods will' dry out much : faster when they are left standing than when they are. cut and piled up, and for that reason the .combine is an ideal machine for harvesting the clover seed. The harvesting at clover seed means more than anything else to us, because it Is our best paying crop. The scattering' of the grain as well as the clover straw is fine for the stand of clover, and we have found that, the grain straw will prevent a new seeding of clover from drying out so badly; "V"art Such Hard.Vork - Ordinarily in the " Willamette 'valley we think of grain farmers as being . hog men, but on the Cromley brothers . farm thereare no hogs and no corn and just enough dairy cows fOr" home use. "We know that hogs and corn and cows are the backbone of farming in. this section, but Vlth us boys we like machinery, . we want to freep out of labor, and anyhow we don't have to - work so hard as we used to. If we were struggling to get a hold we would have cows and hogs and corn. '.. Intensify -With Turkeys Our sister Emily R., is the in tensive farmer. She wanted some thing which would give her out door exercise so a number of years ago she took up turkey raising. This 'year she has about 300 tur keys, and-she gets lots of pleasure and satisfaction out of, her turkeys and, I might add, lota of profit, too." , ; ' . ."A person' cannot spend an after noon on the : Cromley. brothers' ranch without being impressed by their methodsr because they are making - a success, and they are making "fntfttey" r.o&tof r general farming on-high priced land close to Salem. The years that are just ahead will test farmers as they have never been, tested before. Everything points out that the inefficient high cost producer, the man who has not learned to econo mize, will be forced out of busi ness. Ten years from now. the farmer of the Willamette valley wiy be owned by men like the Cromley brothers, " who , . have learned how to produce efficiently and at low cost.
