QKsniracIhi IKainmlbfliiirags Recent sales of purebred llve-j stock include five registered Shorthorn cows bought by Bob Seaman -from Ed Reid of Clarks. Seaman farms in the Marquam district and has since he can re remember, taking time out only for high school at Silverton and college at Oregon StaU. He has been doing some ex perimenting with lotus cornicu latus as pasture. He planted from a lot of seed obtained from New York state through the county agent's office in 1942. This failed to make stand and the field was plowed up and eventually planted to ryegrass and sub-clover after which lotus plants began to appear in every portion of the field. These plants have had vigorous competition but spread has been general and Seaman, a former Oregon Stater, thinks that corni culatuS is the finest legume he has ever seen. He expects to plant at least five additional . acres next spring if seed of a recommended variety can be had. Despite agreage increases, it now appears that alta fescue seed will be greatly in demand again this fall. Prices are starting somewhat lower than last year but members of Oregon Seed Growers, headed by Walter Hardy of Molalla point out that prices which are out of line, serve to encourage seed pro duction in other states where we now find a market for pasture purposes only. Hardy announces that the association will start re tailing two grades 98 per cent pur ity sub-clover and alta fescue at 60 cents.
