Alfalfa Raising Proving Success ful at Experiment Farm Oat at the Experiment Station Dr. With) combe, the director, is carrying on some experiments in farming- that will be ot great value to ine peopie 01 wregon. Four years ago an experi ment in growing alfalfa was be gun, and the results,' which at this time can be ' asserted as proven facts, are that alfalfa can be raised in Western Oregon as easily and successfully as clover. In California and other states whera alfalfa is. grown it requires considerable irrigation, but i the plat ot alfalfa on the Experi ment farm has received no irri gat ion, and is , now in its fourth year, which recommends, alfalfa very highly for a forage 1 crop. During the past three years there has been ten crops of hay harvest ed from this plat -Last year it yielded an average of eighteen tons of green feed to the acre or a little over seven tons of dry hay to the acre. Where alfalfa is properly sstarted and the land well drained there- is no doubt about it being raised successfully, and it is thought by many : that in a few years there will be as much of it raised in Willamette Valley as there is clover. Dr. Withvcombe is in favor of rotation in crops for the general farmer and has made several ex Deriments along these lines. One of the svstems that he rec ommends is as follows: Raise a crop of corn for the silo. Then in the Fall, after the corn crop is off. disc the ground once and drill in wheat. in a normal season this will yield fortv bwshels to the acre. The First of March sow on the ground six pounds of red and two pounds of alskie clover and fifty to seventy-five pounds of land plaster to the acre. With that treat ment the land, the next year after the wheat crop is harvested, will c.it from three to .'four tons of The association cup for the ten; clover nay to me acre, ana yie.o htehest-scorim? birds was a lie oe-ia C,UF iU1 sccu vt K"- t-.....n Tit- M,.iwri T fr,-.r ami T VI ! 1 1C the French, how brought about and the results.

Use land plaster each spring on the clover. There are two principal ob jects in this rotation, as lollows; First, it reduces the labor to a minimum; second, by this rota tion the grouud is kept in good physical condition, and the culti vation can go on for generations without any serious loss of plant food. Another method of, rotation, which has been successfully tried at the Station is to sow the ground with any kind of spring grain, then in the fall go on the stubble with a disc harrow, be fore the rains, and sow to vetch with winter wheat or oats, and cut for hay.
