agent of Polk tounty, describing
; certain features of airlcultnral
development during the past five
yesrs. It relates . to . successful
growing of alfalfa and the, re
markable Increase, from 70, to
1,5 acres In a period of tiro
years with a - return of 125,000
to the county each year.) .

Polk county. little alfalfa was
grown, one of the earlier fields
.being that of Robert Pence. on
the former' Nesmith farm nesjr
Rlckreall,' which has produced as
much as fire tons per aere and Is
still in as good production.
, Where five acres was considered
a sUable field, there are many
now of 20 and SO acres and that
of Byron Ruddell of Oak Point
has one field of SO acres.
; Through cooperation with the
county 'agent, livestock Hi en and
poultry 'men have been finding
. new uses for alfalfa and replacing
other hay crops. From three to
i fire tons Is anaverage yield, pro
viding pasture In the early spring
and in the dry weeks before fall
rains.- Alfalfa hay v brings two
dollars, on the market above other
- hays' so on this basis' It means
' six -to ten dollars per acre In the
. farmers pocket.

. Byrd Walling of the Lincoln
district was the first to take up
' the practice of pasturing sheep on
alfalfa In the early spring. Other
. prominent sheep men to follow
' this are James Riddell, J. B.

Homer Link, Wm. Riddell and
Sons and others. W. O. Morrow
pastured 23 pigs or 3-5 of an aere
from April to August and added
1,000 pounds of grain. The In
creased weight of the hogs less

turn of 2I5 for less than an

Manure Most Valuable J Spread
While Fresh; Usual Handling Loss
i .
Mid to tcun as
A large part of the value of
farm manures Is lost under or
dinary methods of handling. In
some Instances the loss runs as
high -as SO per, cent. However,
with proper care the loss may be
cut down to 20. per cent.
The best method of handling
manure is to spread It. on the
fields as soon as it Is made, point
out soils specialists at the State
college. But If this practice Is
not possible or desirable, . the
manure may be protected from
leaching by putting It under shel
ter during the rainy season. The
liquid manure, which la relative
ly high In nitrogen, and there
fore valuable, is readily washed
out of exposed manure piles.
There Is also a loss of nitrogen In
the form of smmonla . resulting
from fermentation of piled man
ure.
W. L. Powers, soil scientist In
charge, and C. V. Ruxek, soil sci
entist, suggest the use of gypsum
or superphosphate to prevent the
loss due to fermentation. The ad
dition of these chemicals not only
seres the escaping ammonia but

MT. ANGEL, Nov. T If any
school boy in Canada Or the mid-

Angel Is located, the answer
undoubtedly would be, f the home
ot the ML Angel College Stock
farm herd In Oregon. Little
known four months ago. when It
left on the Canadlan-Middlewest
ahow circuit, the College Stock
farm herd of Holstelna returned
to ML Angel the first of this week
recognised as one of the leading
herds In the country.
, The cattle were exhibited at IS
shows and brought home 02 first
prises and 33 championships.
During the time they were on the
circuit they traveled the longest
distance of any . western show
herd, having covered over 10,000
miles.
Oregon people have had . the
self-known satisfaction that some
ot the prise eattle of the world
were owned by dairymen of this
state, but this was the first herd
from Oregon to ever make such
an extensive - circuit. - Lawrence
Thomas, - herdsman, . ' estimated
mat over z.ueo.ooo people . saw
the eattle. Through news stories,
Oregon and ML Angel has gained
much favorable publicity.
According to John Roetclsoen
der, and his assIstanL Albert
Schmlts, who were In charge of
the cattle. th farthest north the
herd went was Prince Albert.
Sask., Canada, and the farthest
south was Oklahoma City. Okla

The herd was exhibited at the
following places: Calgary, Ed

At the Livestock Exposition at
Portland the ML Angel herd won
the banner of Premier exhibitor.
It was the only herd exhibiting
that placed two cows above eight

On the way to Portland from
the International Dairy Show at

local herd was attached to a spe

at Harvey, Minn., Dickinson, N.

cattle were exhibited and talks
were made on the different
