There is a great deal of milk in the ground that was not spilled and cried over, but it is there nevertheless. At certain seasons of the year the Thousand-Headed kale pulls the milk out of mother earth and the cow pulls it out of the kale and puts it in the bucket There is a period, however, during the summer when the cows go hungry and the milk languishes in the ground be cause there is no green th rig to pull it out and coax the cow to fill the milk bucket Western Oregon is one of the best dairy sections of the union. With mild open winters in which kale flourishes and furnishes green succulent food, the dairy business thrives all the year around with the exception of a short period during the summer. During this period the land is out of commis sion, the cows barely subsist on the pasture fields and there is no profit to the farmer. Forty-cent butter and a scarcity of good fresh milk is the evi dence of a lack of green food. What is needed in the valley is a for age crop that will utilize the soil and furnish green food and pasture during the dry season. Will alfalfa fill the bill? If alfalfa could be raised exten sively and successfully it would change the face of nature and add immensely to the value of the farms in the Wil lamette valley. It would increase the dairy products and the poultry pro ducts ; it would cheapen the production of pork and beef and mutton. Alfalfa has been grown for two thousands years in the Mediterranean region. It has been grown successful ly in arid parts of America for half a century. A gentleman traveling over what was then regarded as a land unfit for settlement in Western Nebraska by reason of its aridity discovered a thrif ty green alfalfa plant growing where no other green thing could be found for miles around. That was a demonstra tion that satisfied the gentleman and he purchased a large tract of land for a trifle. On the same land he has since fed fifty thousand sheep in one season on alfalfa. Alfalfa goes down into the depths of the soil for moisture and through wireless communication' with the atmosphere brings down from above food which feeds the plant and enriches the soil. Since 1891 the acreage of alfalfa in Kansas has increased from 84,888 to 615,000 in 1906. A recent bulletin from that state says of alfalfa: "The steer feeders and mutton feeders of Kansas, Colorado and Nebraska would be lost without it." At the Kansas station it is stated : "A gain of 800 pounds of pork was made from a ton of alfalfa, and a little less than that amount of gam was made from an acre of alfalfa pasture, Again, "We found that 100 pounds of alfalfa hay saved 96 pounds of corn. iguring on tne basis of these experi ments it is stated that "with green al falfa producing ten tons per acre (20, 000 pounds) it would produce 2,000 pounds of pork, which, at 4 cents per pound would be worth $80 per acre." Director Burkett, of the Kansas sta tion, says: "By promoting the suc cessful production of alfalfa the sta tion has not only extended the domin ion of an imperial forage crop, but in so doing hss discharged its own entire expense, and in addition has added mil lions of dollars to the wealth of the state." At the Ontario agricultural college in ten years 30 cuttings, yielding over 6 tons an acre, were made. An exper iment showed this great soil enrich ing qualities. Wheat grown after al falfa yielded 61.5 bushels per acre and after timothy sod 42.1 bushels. In the two succeeding years the alfalfa sod produced 30.2 bushels of barley and 24 bushels of corn, while the timothy sod produced 19.7 bushels barley and 17.9 bushels corn. The three crops on the alfalfa sod were worth about (90 while those on the timothy sod were worth about $59. , At the Oregon Agricultural college alfalfa has been growing successfully for several years, and tests are being made by the agronomists with different varieties to determine v.hich will suit the conditions best in this state. The station men are glad at all times to answer questions in regard to its culti vation. A few miles from Corvallis Mr. W. H. Hamlin cut this year 200 tons of al falfa hay. It yielded about 2 - tons to the acre in two cuttings. Before seeding to alfalfa the land had been "cropped out" In fourteen years fourteen grain crops had been taken from the land, and Mr. Hamlin ex plains that on richer land the yield is much heavier. He further explains that the oldest stand yields the best, showing that it takes several years on certain classes of soil for the alfalfa to make a good growth. It looks as though an alfalfa cam paign would be worth millions to this state. Q. What is meant by "50 per cent," "40 per cent," and so on, dynamite! A.
