Thursday about 2 o'clock p. in
Consequently the Ilcnd, Laidlaw

Should Plant Corn and Field Peas
Madras ISoum
Ircd McCallistcr of Prineville,
who owtis one of the finest alfalfa
ranches on Crooked river, was in
town on Tuesday evening. Mr
McCallistcr has been one of Un
successful farmers of this countrv
and he has many theories about
farming in this region which he hn'
put to practical test and found good
Among other practices which he
says arc wrong is that of letting the
laud lie idle during the summer
fallow He says that instead of
letting the laud lie idle, it should
be planted to corn or field peas,
which make excellent feed fbrhog,
and that the value of the summer
fallow for next year's wheat crop is
not impaired iu the slightest. This
idea of Mr. Mcallistcrs is well worth
the attention of the farmers of this
section who, owning small tracts,
can ill afford to lose the half of
their land each year while summer
fallowing. It is known that corn
yields heavily upon this soil, every
experiment crop in tuat cereal in
this section of country having
proved entirely satisfactory.
