ALfALfA EXPERIMENTS.
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

start the process over again. Use

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. The next Fall plow
