FARMERS FIND STATION
HAS LEARNED NEW FACTS
Different Crops ami Improved Va
rieties Inspected lor Use on Theh
I Own harms.
fcOCALUAPPEMNGS
Now crops to replace some of the
old that have failed to make good
on some of the farms in Oregon, and
new varieties of the old standby,
were inspected by farmers from
Rainier to lioseburg on the annual
field days at the experiment station,
Corvallis. Better treatment of soils
to get more profitable yields and
still keep up fertility, and new facts
on fnedftlig handling farm live
stock, cows and poultry, were other
tilings picked up.
(letting bigger yields by chang
ing crops in n gular cycles, was one
thing. The farmers saw fields that
had grown beans every year for 1 4
; :irs and the avera was low,
only about nine bushels an acre.
Alongside other fields wore seen
growing beana every third year with
barley and clover between times, and
the average yield for the fourteen
veers was 1 8 bushels of beans. The
rofit was more than twice as great
n the rota'ion, and the soil is still
-nod, While the all-bean fields are
o run down as to produce five or
i bushels In th? later years.
ITow to increase cherry yields
!000 to 10,000 pounds an acre was
en in the orchard work. The big
weet cherries the best in the
'"nited States are shy baarers and
.to. unlers pollenized by a suitable
variety. Trees planted before this
act was found by the station may
ie top-worked with varieties named
o the farmers and thus get the big
rops.
If yon want l,ri pushels more po
atoes an acre, everything else the
ame, cut and plant only the blos
01,1 ends for seed, was one lesson,
''rune your trees right and help
them grow, bear, or both, was an
ither. Throw away, or sell, 52 of
he 63 kinds of wheat grown in the
tae and grow the one or two of
he other 11 best suited to your
tnds for bigger profits, was still a
third.

from the dairy. This Is one reason I
why hogs are used on such a large
proportion of our farms. But the
