(Continued from page one.)
er means must be resorted to. The
farmer In this district must cease
squandering the virginity of his soils
and turn to cropping systems that
have long proved successful In sim
ilar areas in restoring fertility and in
creasing production.
Forcing a Change,
The rapid rise of land varaes
In the vicinity of Pendleton Is fore'
lng the dry farmer to take the first
step towards higher production per
acre. This step Is the gradual aban
donment of the summer fallow. Land
lying idle every other year will not
give the necessary return to make it
a good Investment if land prices keep
on rising. In addition to this where
the average annual rainfall Is 14 1-2
Inches as It is at Pendleton, summer
fallowing may largely be dispensed
with.
Tho Remedy.
At various points throughout the
wheat belt It has been amply demon
strated that such crops ns field peas,
alfalfa, corn, mtlo maize, etc., may be
substituted for summer fallow with
profit. These crops either use less
moisture or use such moisture as
would otherwise be lost through
evaporation and thus permit a profit
producing crop every year. Where al
ternated with wheat these crops re
store fertility though Increasing the
nitrogen and humus supply In the
soli and thus assure tho permanency
of agricultural production.
AVhere these substitute crops nre
grown, however, It is imperative that
certain methods of culture be ob
served. Field peas must be seeded
Just as early as It Is possible to get
upon the ground. They will endure
much cold but not much heat. Plant
ed the first of March, If the weather
will permit, they will mature in 90
to 100 days or be ready to pasture
off with sheep or hogs at 70 days
and be out of the way by hot weath
er. The Canada field pea should bo
used, 1 1-2 to 2 bushels per acre,
drilled 3 Inches, harvested with hogs
or lambs or the mower or threshed
for seed. Stock should be turned on
the field peas when the seed begins
to harden in the pod, but the vines
still green. Mixed with barley or oats
and cut for hay, field peas will yield
here 1 1-2 to 2 tons per acre of fine
quality for cows and sheep. Seed
yields run from 300 to 500 pounds per
acre, making a very profitable money
crop for the dry farmer. To get rid
of the volunteer peas, the field may
be disked and seeded to wheat or
barley and pastured early the follow
ing spring or cut early for grain hay.
As soon as the pea crop Is off the
ground the land should be double
disced, plowed and mulched In prep
aration for the next year's wheat
crop if wheat is to be raised. Where
good methods are used the returns
from this fallow substitute crop add
ed to that from the wheat crop fol
lowing It will In the two years grve
nearly double the profits per acre as
may bo obtained under the summer
fallow system. Yet the soil fertility
will be maintained or Increased.
Field Corn.
Corn, provided a hardy and eariy
maturing variety is secured, and
thorough cultivation is given, will al
so give excellent returns In place of
the summer fallow. The Minnesota
No. 23, a dent corn Introduced by
the Oregon experiment station two
years ago, gave yields of 30 to 35
bushels of matured grain last year
on wheat lands. Fed to hogs the
profits can easily be figured. But un
less this hardy variety is used ana
thorough cultivation given, success
cannot bo expected.
Dry Ijind Alfalfa.
Alfalfa grown as n seed crop is
probably one of the best of the dry
land farmers' future prospects. Grown
in double rows IS to 24 Inches apart,
eight pounds of seed per acre, sown
In thoroughly cultivated summer wit
low In April, will givo yields of 300
to 400 pounds of seed of the high
est quality commanding the top price
on the market. Where grown in rows
cultivation should be given and where
the stand Is too thick It should be
cross harrowed. The first crop Is
cut for seed.
Milo Mulze.
While milo maize, smooth brome
grass, meadow flscue. artichokes,
cow kale and grain hay and pasture,
are all crops that will furnish the
necessary forage for feeding livestock
on wheat land, the field peas, corn
and barley will be the chief feeds for
fattening stock and should be given
first attention. Alfalfa, on the other
hand, raised for seed will furnish a
direct cash crop year in and year
out.
Will Take Time.
This diversified system of farming
cannot be adopted at once to the 1000
acre wheat farm. There are not
enough hogs In the state of Oregon
to consume the first crop of peas
that might be raised In this county
alone.
Let this system once be started,
however, and the large farmers and
the single crop system will soon be
forced to the wall. Field peas, al
falfa, corn, milo maize, drouth re
slstent forage crops of all kinds, rais
ed upon the wheat lands and fed to
pigs, lambs, chickens and cows, will
bring such profits per acre that the
summer fallow will go out with the
wheat baron. One hundred sixty
acre farms with comfortable homes
and prosperous owners will no long
er be conusldered an impossibility,
and eggs and butter and pork raised
In the home county will no longer be
thought an unheard of curiosity on
your markets. ' Better than this,
growth In population -and production
and prosperity will be the final as
surance of the permanence of your
agriculture and of all the institutions
of mankind dependent upon it.
