The annual Chrismas lull
has begun when activity on so
many fronts ceases until after
the holiday. Christmas is on
every mind, on that of the boy
who wants a pair of skates, the
child who will be overjoyed with
a tractor, the girl with some
thing to decorate herself, and
the older ones with expectancy
of some remembrance from
others long accustomed to ob
serve the time.
To ffee business stop/ for a
week or two would be cause for
alarm at any other time while
at Christmas it seems appropri
ate that all should pause in the
usual attachment to affairs of
profit for a week or so and pay
attention to more noble things.
Christmas is a celebration of
the birth of Christ to whom we
look for the spiritual guidance
that lifts us out of wordly mat
ters and makes us not mere'
physical beings who tample out
the corn but men and women
with ideals to uphold and res
ponsibilities to carry on toward
ourselves and our Creator.

MOKE WHEAT IN EERM TIME
The Portland’ Oregonian and
the Farm Journal have both had
articles recently which give the
general opinion that by the use of
enough nitrogen wheat growers
of the Pacific northwest and
especially the Columbia basin
can produce a crop every year.
The summer fallow -system may
be doomed, is the general tenor
of the stories.
*
It is true that the summer-
fallow system does not save all
the moisture that falls on the
land in the „two year period.
Poor summerf allow saves very
little of it, in fact. For that por
tion of the Columbia river basin
that lies close enough to the Blue
mountains to get up to 20 inches
of rainfall per year it is probable
hatNvith applications of fertilizer
a crop could be grown every
year.
In the pea district around Ath
ena farmers can now take a
crop of peas, one of wheat before
fallowing, making a three year
1 rotation. *■ i
Success of these tests In year
ly cropping has been found be
cause moisture conditions in re
cent years have been better than
average in this area.
Not all
years have been wet ones, but
the moisture in the soil in the
fifth and sixth foot ha‘s been
above average and that is often
the test of a successful crop.
In much of Umatilla county
nitrogen has been the limiting
factor in the production of wheat.
That is true when the rainfall
is in excess of 15 inches or an
amount near that figure.
• In the greater part of the
Columbia basin the rainfall is be
tween 10 and 12 inches and un
der such conditions rainfall is
the limiting factor and all the
nitrogen in Muscle Shoals will
not grow a crop of wheat with
out moisture. SYearly cropping
would surely rq^liiN the deep soil
moisture so much that no satis
factory crop would grow’.
It is true that one of the bene
ficial results of ’fallowing is to
keep some moisture. Fallow in
the fall should have moisture
within two to four inches from
the top of the ground. Cropped
land should be dry for two or
three feet unless rains ha\e been
very plentiful There should also
be more moisture in the fifth
and sixth foot in fallow'.
It is very nice of reporters to
come in and tell us how to farm
and some of them, may have
some good ideas to . contribute.
Yet, as a long range program
