AN ANALYSIS OF SOIL
DAIRY SHOW NOV. 18-23
Do you know absolutely what
the soil ot your farm or orchard
contains ? If not. how do you know
except by guesswork, what fertili­
ser it needs, and what crops will
grow best there ?
The man who does not know
these things is unlikely to make the
maximum success ot his farming
His only excuse is that he does not
know how to find out these things.
For this reason the department of
agronomy has prepared printed in
structioi-s for -aoil sampling at the
Oregon Agricultural college, and
any farmer who will send samples,
taken according to these directions
to Professor H. D. Scudder, soils
specialist of the experiment station,
will receive a report containing in­
formation of vital importance to his
farm.
"Take samples from an open
field and avoid paths, gopher holes,
etc., from which modified and not
typical samples are likely to be ob­
tained,” says Professor Scudder.
"Select an average spot, pull up the
plants growing on it, brush aside
half decayed vegetable matter and
bore or dig a vertical hole to where
the soil changes tint, or, if no change
is seen, to the depth of cultivation.
Get a sample of the soil to this depth
from several places in the field, mix
well on cloth or coarse paper (avoid
jute bagging). Then dry it, put a
quart in a clean canvas bag or box
and laltel. This represents the sur­
face soil.
‘‘In the same manner get an aver­
age sample of the subsoil, taken
below the surface sample to the
depth of approximately two feet.
Put it iu a separate bag and label
that also. Dig or bore to a depth
of three or four feet, and if hard pan
or any other peculiarity in struc­
ture is noted, send a properly la­
beled sample. If solid rock is
found, state at what average depth
it occurs and send a small sample
"Send a letter by mail with as
complete a history of the field as
possible, the name of the nearest
town, the probable selling price of
the land, the elevation above the
nearest river, the direction and
grade of slopes. Tell how long it
has* been cropped and what has
been raised on the land, what the
yields were aud whether fertilizers
have been applied.
If there are
any peculiat ities which may have a
bearing on the agricultural qualities
of the soil they should be mention­
ed in the letter. The samples should
be sent by express, prepaid, to the
experiment station soils depart­
ment.”
Portland, Nov. 3 (Special)—The
largest showing of dairy cattle ever
gathered west of St. Louis may be
seen at the Pacific International
Dairy Show to be held in Portland
November 18 23. Prize stock is
being entered from many sectious
ol the United States aud many o
the leading dairy herds of the coun
try will be represented.
L. S. Tichenor, a well known
Guernsey breeder of Oconomowoc,
Wis., will bring two carloads of
prize cattle There are probably
no better Guernseys anywhere than
in the Pacific Northwest, and the
Wisconsin man will find sharp com­
petition. D. N. Looner of Inde­
pendence, Ore., has a fine herd of
this breed which he will exhibit.
Utah will send a carload of Jer­
seys; W. O. Morrow ot Indepen­
dence, D. B. Stump, of Monmouth.
Harry West of Scappoose and
Thomas Withycombe & Son of
Farmington, all Oregon breeders,
will furnish plenty of competition
for the Jersey section. Wm. Ladd
of Portland is considering showing
some of his Jerseys, which have a
national reputatation.
It is not yet known what breeds
will be represented in the ship­
ment of cattle from the National
Livestock show at Chicago, but it
is felt that the northwest will be
able to hold its own iu any ot the
strictly dairy classes.
P. A. PTckes of Scappoose, Ore.,
Wm, Bishop of Chimacum, Wash ,
and O. E- Mills of Perry, Wash.,
will come to the show with some
splendid Holstein animals.
The famous herd of Ayershires,
with Peter Pan at their head, own­
ed by J W. Clise of Seattle will
furnish keen competition for fine
stock in this class from California,
as well as for Ayershires to be
shown by A. P. Stockwell of Aber­
deen, Wash.
