By ULUE L. MADSEN ; Farm Editor, The Statesman The products of the forest are a "natural" for Oregon soils, ac cording to tests made at Oregon Forest Products Laboratory at Corvallis. From the beginning of Willam ette Valley1 time, laboratory sci entists point out forests grew in the valley. These trees gave something back each year from decayed limbs, foliage, and fre quently a tree that died and was left to rot Lumbering has taken this out of the soil. Experiments show that large-volume use of sawdust for a mulch on various crops may result in increased yields. Such experiments in field tests have been carried out by the laboratory -for the past six years. The tests have been companson tests with straw, leaf mold and hay, as well as tests in cultivating the sawdust into soil where straw berries, blue berries, cane fruits and annuals, such as corn, toma toes, beans and cabbage have been grown. Crop Increase The laboratory scientists report that ft is a well-known fact that mulching can increase crop yields, but is essential that mulches be low-cost readily available ma terials. In addition, it is desirable that materials used should not re quire costly applications of nitro genous , fertilizers during the process of -decomposition. The- laboratory suggests that wood residues should be utilized for humus maintenance (Valley soils are notably short on hu mus) wherever it is economically feasible to lo so. Although the emphasis is on sawdust, this ma terial reacts much as do shavings and bark, except that decompos- tion is more rapid in the more finely divided material. Improves Soils , The tests prove that sawdust actually improves structure and aeration of heavy soils; increases water absorption and penetration, conserves moisture through weed control and reduces evaporation, maintains more uniform soil tem peratures, improves the granula tion of surface soil, reduces soil erosion and increases organic matter and humus in the soil. Since wood contains only a small amount of nitrogen, decom posing sawdust competes for this element with the , crops grown. Potatoes and tomatoes grown with four inches of sawdust cultivated into the soil may require as much as 400 pounds of actual nitrogen to the acre the first year. Lesser amounts are needed as the saw dust decays. Lesser amounts are also needed when the sawdust is used as a mulch rather than be ing cultivated in. And even when the nitrogen is used, it is not lost, but becomes available to crops after the sawdust is de composed, "j Yield Grows Douglas fir sawdust, used as 1 mulch on blueberries, has given a six-times greater yield than similar plots where clean cultiva tion was practiced; and three times ' the yield, over plots mulched with straw. The sawdust mulched blueberries even doubled tbe yield over plots mulched with oak leaf mold. i In the strawberry test plots it was found that sawdust should be incorporated into the soil,' since mulching favored increase in red stele disease. - Six inches of sawdust mulch will prevent growth of most weeds other than vigorously grow-, mg species such as Canadian thistle. Before 1955 closes, the Forest Laboratory hopes to have a pub lished report on its six-year find ings i nsawdust tests. The ex periments have been carried on in conjunction with the Department 01 Sous and Horticulture at Ore gon State College.
