Parkin, Jr., r. has i been conducting an experiment in crop culture on the i!alrjr ranch owned by Durbin & Son two miles from Salem, the results of which are or vital Interest to the agricultur ist of this valley. The crop 'is alfalfa. ': , v . ' , . . J.; . Two acres on the low Vrver flat of the ranch which wotr; lowed for a short 'time in spring was sowed to alfalfa the latter part of May, just three months ago. The flat was inspected by" a party of interested persons yesterday, and all were .enthused with the result. Crying for Water The soil is a sandy loam, in some places gravelly and far from being the fcest" soil on the ranch. -No fertilizer was used. No at tention was given the crop after sowing. - After the first two hot spells of the season, and just at the be ginning of the last hot spell, Frank went to look at his alfalfa, and it seemingly was withered and dying.

Also he is nursing on the effect on the balance sheet witb a forage crop double the tonnage per acre, and a better feed for dairy stock than clover and vetch now being fed. It might be of general interest, in this connection, to speculate on the general effect it willhave on the prosperity of the valley as a whole, when alfalfa is a crop of general culture and our forage yield is increased a hundred per cent :or .better.
