m ousts" ARE STUDIED Polk County Farmers Con sider Cost Reduction, ' - Methods: . ' DALLAS, Feb. 24 Dairymen f Polk cour.tr are firing serious dunslderatio& to the cost of pro duction of butterfat la competi tion with the dairymen of the Ir rigated sections and the crass country of the ; coast ; counties. . Batterfat Is produced - several cents a pound cheaper ta these . sections according to the records from (51 dairy farms la these different sections. .- c i Alfalfa prorldes the : principal feed when batter fat Is produced the cheapest and local dairymen can cut off several cents a pound by a more complete use of alfalfa hay, and pasture. More than 2.-00-0 acres are now under cultiva tion la Polk county, aecof dins to , records la the office of the coun ty ajen. and Mr. Bees: states that this should bo Increased to' some place between six and-10 thou sand aeres,TTr three times the . present acreage. , Preliminary figures -on the cost of. producing a pound of putter fat havealready been released and a further, study Is under way to corer a three year period. Twenty-three Polk , county dairymen are included in the Hat- Figures released indicate that , the average production of these dairy farms is well above 250 pounds of butterfat. It also shows that the bulk of the feed bill for eastern Oregon dairymen Is tori alfalfa hay, and that th'elr - cows are producing almost as well as those of the Willamette valley that receive much- more grain. This point alone should be an incentive to greater use of al faifa. ...... . , Preparation for the seeding of alfalfa should start dov, - by plowing the ground at once, if it has not been plowed. Alfalfa should be sown on a fine, firm , seed bed during the first part of ... May with a few exceptions. - Mr. Beck has made a considerable study of alfalfa and la of the opinion that the acreage should double or treble Itself within the next year or two.
