County Agent’s Report

(Continued from first page)
2. Eighteen thousand seven hun
dred pounds of super phosphate was

ton which was >6.00 under any price
quoted in small lot orders from deal
ers in the county.
4. A saving of 157.00 was effected
on nine and one-half tons of fertilized
by the work involved in pooling this
order and making the distribution.
5. Results in increased yield on the
82 acres where this fertiliser was ap
plied has stimulated intereat in tM
use of more phosphate fertilizer and
orders have been taken far an amount
equal to more than a carload of super
phosphate for fall distribution.
E. Manure Conservation
1. More than 60 per cent of the
value of farm manure is lost to Coos
county farmers through leaching and
poor management.
{.'Active work has been done in all

ure.
CROP PRODUCTION AND IM
PROVEMENT
Because of the importance of the
crop production program in increas
ing production per acre in the county
it has been selected as the major pro
ject for the county agent. Dairying,
which ia the most important farming
enterprise of the county, can be ex
panded through two sources. One, tho
increasing production per cow; tho
other an increase in the production of
the land.
A. Seed Crops Work
1. Fifty thousand four hundred and
fifty-five pounds of bent grass seed
were certified for 23 farmers at a
cost of one-half cent per pound.
2. This amount
represents only
sbout one-half of the 1930 crop, the
other 50 per cent having been certi
fied during 1930.
3. Thia service is considered to be
very valuable by the producers and
waa estimated to be worth many times
the coat of certification.
4. In connection with
the bent
grass seed certification program for
1931, 1416 acres have been inspected
for 21 farmers in tho county by a
representative from the State College
and the county agent
5. Assistance was given in organ
izing the Coos Seed Growers Associa
tion, a general educational organisa
tion for seed producers, which was a
stepping stone for tho organisation of
the Coos District Bent Seed Growers,
u co-operative marketing association.
6. Ben beardless barley waa tested
out on the Ben Moomaw farm at Ara
go In comparison with O. A. C. No. 7.
Results were encouraging and th*
seed will be saved for additional
plantings.
B. Forage Crops
1. A field meeting waa conducted at
one of the three grass nurseries main
tained in the county in co-operation
with farmers.
2. Seventeen different grasses and
clovers were seeded in these nurseries
in an effort to determine the most de
sirable ones for hill land seeding un
der local condition«.
3. Definite recommendation«
for
hill land seeding in this section have
been made to farmers based on the
results of these nurseries.
4. The county agent waa instru
mental in securing Austrian winter
field pea seed for seven farmers who
planted 36 acre« thia year.
5. Farmers of thp county have been
encouraged to plant more ladino clov
er on land which is adapted to thia
crop. This crop has proved its worth
in numerous demonstration plantings
established during previous years and
on many farms where it is now being
grown.
6. Alfalfa is another forage crop
recommended in parts of the county.
Acreage of this crop is constantly in
creasing, due in a measure to demon
strations previously established in co
operation with the office.
7. The first demonstration of al
falfa in the section north of the Bay
was established this year in co-opera
tion with A. Groaaen.
8. Seventy-four bottles of inocula
