Two men stood upon a prominent

They were dlscusolng politics nnd

Their talk drifted from the pleas

Blanchard Reports On
Demonstration Plots
illy County Agent It. A lUanohnrd.)
l.nst week the Crook county agrl
cultuilst carefully Inspected the
demonstration plots on the dr laud
plateaus southwest of llend. These
plots were In tho nature of a co
operative test of various varieties of
the hardiest plantH that it Is thought
will grow In this altitude The seed
wub furnished by the agriculturist,
the rahhit-prnof who by tho county,
and the work performed by the co-
operator. Mr. nianchard visited the
Mtlllcan countrj, where P. O. John
son conducted flvo acres of demon
stration bordering tho Ilend-Uurns
road. The outstanding feature of
Mr. Johnson's plot Is the excellent
stand of alfalfa, sweet clover nnd
bromc grass procured. All of these
plants stood up welt against the frost
nnd, being pre-eminently dry land
crops, make very encouraging pros
pects for the farmers of this section.
Itoth the Grimm nud Haltlc varieties
of alfalfn were at least 12 Inches
high, having been sown this spring
In cultUntcd rows at tho rate of one
pound per acre, after tho suggestion
of the agricultural college. The
field pens made n growth, but were
nipped by tho frost Just before be
coming mature. Tho Cnrleton and
Cossack varieties stood up best and
Mr. Johnson Is confident that peas
will make him a good ciop to 'hog
off."
Frost l,lmlt.
A. S. Fogg, who runs tho demon
stration plot at Hampton, deserves
credit for the effort put forth this
season. Mr. Fogg ns he likes to
cooperate with the agriculturist nnd
Is u big-hearted man, anxious to
help the country to develop and as
sist new farmers. On account of
tho early frost In August most of the
cropB were caught. Mr. Fogg planted
winter and spring Kminer, llaart and
Kharkov wheat, Sixty-Day oats,
Carleton ami CosBack peas, Swan
neck barley. Haltlc alfalfa and sweet
clover. On account of unusual heavy
and hard winds, most of this stuff
wns cut off before gaining much
growth. However, tho wheat and
oats showed uniiBiial signs of prom
ise, tho llaart wheat being well filled.
Mr. McKay, the demonstrator at
Itlvcrs, left the county, leaving no
records.
Farming' Possibilities.
The region known locally nB tho
"High Desert" In Crook county offers
some hard problems to the fnrmers
there. This country Ib a high plateau
lying around 4,000 feet above sea
level, visited by late spring and early
fall frosts, with frosts almost every
month of tho year. The other dif
ficulty which limits farm efforts Is
tho rabbits and sage rats. These ro
dents prove to be a serious factor
which hampers the farming of the
region around Mllllcan, Hampton
nnd Hlvers. It- has been estimated
by experts that tills plateau land Is
supplied with a stratn of moisture
averaging 20 feet below the surface.
Hy proper methods of moisture con
servation It Is believed no hard
strata separating the surface moist
ure from that below can be dissolved
In time and the moisture below made
available. Rye, Is a sure crop,
which, together with some of the
dry land forage crops of the hardy
varieties, ought to make this country
an attraction to settlers. The frost
cannot be controlled, but the variety
of crops that will withstand the frost
can. Proper methods of dry land
farming will Insure good crops. The
only serious obstacle Is the four
footed pest which must be extermi
nated. The county agriculturist, to
gether with the United States Dio
loglcal Survey, will give every pos
sible assistance to the farmer.
