Tillamook county is tamed as one
of the leading dairying sections on
the Pacific coast. Conditions there
are so much similar to those of Coos
county that whatever is of interest
to oue should also appeal to the oth
er. Under the caption "Acreage for
One Cow," Roy C. Jones in the Ore
gon Farmer, figures out this import
ant dairy problem in a very compre
hensive manner in the following:
"Most of the farmers of Tillamook
county grow on their own farms prac
tically all the feed consumed by their
cows.
"Two-thirds of the cows freshen in
or near early spring, are fed hay and
roots or kale until grass is abundant,
about the middle of April, and then
aro pastured uutil the first of No
vember. when they are again put on
to hay and roots, turned by in early
winter and maintained on hay or
hay and roots until they freshen
again.
"Feeding in this manner the aver
age man on the bottom farm uses
about two acres of land per cow. Of
this two acre« one-tenth of an acre
will be required for the root or kale
crop and the balance used for pasture
with the exception of one-half to
three-fourths acre, which will grow
the hay crop from May 20 to July 10.
The man on the prairie requires
about twice the land for this pur
pose, but as this is valued at about

half the price of the bottom land the
investment is the same.
"If a bottom land fanner has all
hit; land in condition to plow there
is no reason why lie cannot suiqily
ail the roughage required by purchas
ing about one-half ton of concen
trates per cow a balanced ration can
be supplied.
"To <lo tliis requires a five year ro
tation as follows: The old pasture
is broken up. well manured and put
into corn or corn aud roots, Twelve
or 15 tons of corn or 35 tons or roots
can safely be relied on for a yield,
The corn Is put into the silo and the
ground seeded to oats and vetch or
possibly to wheat anil vetch on ac
count of the oat rust.
"By actual weight we have obtain
ed 25 tons of green feed per acre
from this crop. This will be put in
to the silo about June 1. The ground
will be disked at once and seeded to
bald barley, with red clover seeded
with it. This will last for about 3
years, the last two years to furnish
pasture and the first to be used for
green feed and hay.
"This will enable one to fill the
silo in the spring and use the silage
to supplement the pasture in late
summer, then in the fall to refill with
corn to use through the winter and
spring. I believe that under this
system there might easily be kept as
high as two cows to the acre.”
