Austrian field teas hare been
an excellent paying crop on the
E. E. Bradtl farm, located on tbe
hlehwar a abort distance of. Au-

T. Last year be harvested six tons

he first catting this year the
Alfalfa. in r1 lhr tnna and
be expects to get about the same,
three tons, to tbe acre in the sec
ond catting which has Just been
made.. I .
Bradtl devotes bis 266 acres,
not' all of which is cleared, to gen
eral farming, and in recent years
the commercial crops hare been
clover,-wheat, peas and flax. He
raises some goats, using them
larzelv for clearing natsure. and
some, sheep. A tractor and three
horses handle tbe farm work,
Rotation la Secret
With three tons of alfalfa to
the acre an excellent yield, even
In tbe Willamette valley. Bradtl
. .
baa no means to improve me sou
excent croo rotation.
Good croos are tbe role on this
farm, In spite of the fact that.no
commercial - fertilizers, lime nor
Irrigation have been utillied. Part
of the soil build-up came in the
years when he grew "a lot of po
tatoes, this serving as a cover
crop. His practice in that period
was to nlant vetch in the fall and
to plow It up in the spring and
put in potatoes. However, general
conditions developed against po
tato nrodnctlon. and he quit this
crop four years ago. Plover and
peas chiefly furnish the soil build
ing values now.
i Worm i Infects Flax
. Bradtl. a flax grower for the
. past eight years, will start cutting
" the IS 27 croD this week. Last
year his flax went No. 1 all
through, but this year because he
got it in early, on March 1. the
mA lae rains helped work havoc
and; as a result his crop , wilt not
malte the 20-lnch height required

went in considerably later In the
Aurora and Canby areas will Dar
kest an excellent yield with some
producing flat 40 inches or better
In holjrht. I
His flax goes to the Canby co
rporative nlant. and in his rota
tion scheme he tries to place it
on the clovef sod each year but
this year this was not possible as
clover was dried out Dy aroum
fiar th nlantiuK time last year.
He reports that for the first
Hm amallicreen worm showed
up In the flax just before blos

A similar experience with flax

were to have corn follow legume

Develops Pasture
One word about Bradtl's prac
tice In developing new pasture
On the 20 acres he is bringing in
to nasture now. he slasnes ana
burns and then sows the land to
grass seed.
The herd of goats. 125 in num
ber, of course help keen the un
dergrowth down before clearing
Is complete, which leads Bradtl to
declare that he keeps the goats
to clear pasture for the sheep
for when all Is well with the new
land, he will go in again more
heavily for sheep.
