WASHINGTON, D. C.. Dec 30.
Thousands of ncroa of Innd lying Idle
ns Buminor fallow each year In Bast
cm Oregon ore well adapted to
tho growing of beans, Btntes Farmer's
Mulletln No. 661, Issued by tho Do
partment of Agriculture. Fifteen
years' experience shows thnt as good
cereal crops can bo grown following
benns as after an ordinary summer
fallow. Tho cultivation of tho beau
crop roplnces tho work necessary to
caro for tho fallow, and leaves tho
eoII In excellent condition for seeding
'winter wheat. Tho crop Is also har
vested In amplo tlmo to permit early
fall seeding.
Deans do not seriously competo
with wheat for labor, and tho two
crops can be grown with practically
tho samo equipment. Approximate
ly 150 worth of extra machinery Is
needed to plant, harvest, and culti
vate from 70 to SO acres of beana In
stead of cultivating tho land as sum
mer fallow. With tho present wage
for man and horse labor It requires
about J 6 more per aero to grow, har
dest, and market a crop of beans than
It docs to summer-fallow an equal
area. Slnco beans yield on tho ar
erago about 800 pounds per acre and
Bell for 3 cents per pound, the gross
returns per acre Is approximately
$24. In districts adapted, to bean
culture, beans aro therefore approxi
mately $18 per acre more profitable
than Bummer fallow.
Generally speaking, the soils of the
bean-growtng districts are rich In
all the mineral elements necessary
for plant growth. Under such con
ditions tho maintenance of soil fer
tility will depend almost entirely on
keeping up the organic matter of the
soil. This Is not easily accomplished
when beans and cereal crops are
grown exclusively. Stubblo should
always be plowed under Instead of
being burned. The plowing under
of partially decayed bean and wheat
straw will also do much toward keep
ing the soil in a productive condition.
Tho decayed straw should be scatter
ed rather thinly over tho grain stub
ble In tho fall. It should be thor
oughly worked Into the surfaco of the
soil with a shnrp disc harrow and
plowed under as soon as polble af
ter the first autumn rains. The disk
ing causes the straw to mix thorough
ly with the soil at the time of plowing
instead of forming a layer in the bot
tom of the furrow.
The arabl land of Eastern Oregon
has been devoted almcwt exclusively
to the nroductlon of wheat, oats and
barley for moro than 30 years. He
causo of the introduction of serious
weed posts soon after tho land was
brought Into cultivation It was found
unprofitable to grow a crop of grain
each year. Many of the new settlers
had come from the Willamette valley
where wheat and oats were grown by
summer-fallowing the land every sec
ond or third year. Hence, they nat
urally turned to this system of farm
ing as a solution of their weed prob
lem, and the growing of small grain
bjr tho summer-fallow method Is still
the general practice among tho far
mers of this region. Under this sys
tem of farming from one-third to one
half of the land lies Idle each season.
