Oregon Adds
Ponds to Her
Stock Farms
By Llllls L. Madaen
Farm Editor. The Statesman
More than 5.000 dami and
ponds for erosion control and
livestock water have been con
structed on Oregon farm and
ranches in the past 10 yeart with
AAA practice program assistance,
records show.
But the construction of pond
was begun before the AAA prac
tices were here in the Willam
ette valley.
One of the pretty sight on the
R. L. Andrews ranch east of
Prat urn on Garden road 1 the
quarter acre pond built there 23
years ago. The pond has, since
It beginning, been enlarged and
deepened, but it was started fully
a quarter of a century ago.
p The pond Is fed by spring
and seasonal rains. It Is bujllt on
a natural slope and dammed by
native rock, making a rustic pic
ture in its barnyard setting. The
water is used for irrigating gar
dens and watering stock.
Mr. Andrews report that It ha
alway had sufficient water In It
up to August 1 but after that
time "you couldn't really say It
had much more than a trickle."
Pond was Deepened
Last autumn a bulldozer wii
brought in and the pond deepened
In hores it would hold water
throughout the dry season. A fall,
more than six feet high, form
the spillway and here the only
cement in the pond ha been used.
Mr. and Mrs. Andrews came to
the Waldo Hills place 10 year
afo and since have been busy re
pairing and improving the 100
acre ranch first owned by Squire
Dunbar. The house ltaelf wa
built in 1852 and much of the
orig.r.al building still is In use.
Wooden pegs were used, In mak
ing the doors and the woodwork
about the fireplace and these
were left unmolested by the An
drews. Mrs. , Andrew, who
toiches school eight months out
of the year, has kept her furnish
ings in line with the pioneer home.
Change Farming Practice
Like many other Waldo Hill
farmers. Andrews has found that
In earlier yeara the soil wa
:r-nn-fsrrr.ed too much. Little by
it'le the Andrews farm will be
turned to grass. Already 12 acre
of chew ir.gs (escue have been
planted, and hopes are to double
thit this year. Some alta fescue
Will also be added.
With the inrrease In. grin
plin'mg. the sheep flock, now
numbering only 20, will be in
cr'M'sed. said Andrews. Eventual
ly he hopes most of the farm will
be grass and sheep.
At present a few head of cat
tle are also kept and their num
ber will be increased too a pas
turage is increased.
One nice thing about the pond,
Andrews point out, 1 that it
Is loca'ed in a spot which would
be damp and more or less wampy
II winter long. The pond, which
holds the water most of the dry
season, takes care of the heavy
Spring run-offs, with the spillway
directing the overflow water Into
a natural creek.

Treat Pastures
This Year, Says
Linn County Agent
The backward growing season
and the high price of grain and
hay make a pasture fertilization
program practical this year if
materials can be obtained, re
ports O. E. MlkeselL Linn county
a?ent.
Farmer following a regular
pasture fertilization program re
port a doubling of forage produc
tion and a two week advance
in the pasture season. This is par
ticularly true where some of the
fertilizer on grasses seems to give
the best results while s combins
ti on of nitrogen and phosphate Is
recommended for grass and le
frume mixture pastures.
The rates of application will
vary with the vigor of the pas
ture and the soil types, but gen
erally 30 pounds of actual nitro
gen per acre is needed on straight
grass pastures. The addition of
40 pounds of actual phosphate
per acre on grass pastures con
taining legumes Is beneficial. An
annual application of 300 pounds
of superphosphate per acre Is rec
ommended for Irrigated ladino
clover pastures. Where superphos
phate csnnot be obtained, sn ap
plication of landplaster la rec
ommended. Mill City Residents
