Experincat Station is County Asset New crops to replace some of the olà ones that have failed to make good on Oregon farms, and new varieties of th* old standby* can be viewed by Sherman county farmers on a v isit to Moro expur meat station on the annual field days, or any other day that they can take the time off thuir farm work. Better treatment of seeds and of soils to grow more profitable yields and still keep up the high grade of Sherman county farm fertility, and naw facts on feeding and handling farm live stock, cows and poultry, are other things to be picked dp. X Getting bigger yields by changing the crops in regular cycles ia another thing. The fasmer« who have visited the Moro expariment station this year saw fields that bad grown wheat crops every year for many years, and the average was low. Alongside, other fields were seen growing crops every two out of three years, and the average yield is good. The profit was higher than summer fallow and crop ro ta tio n and the soil is still good, while the all crop fields ate run down. If you want a h gh yield of pota toes, every thing else the same, cut and plant onl* the blossom ends for seed, is another lesson. Discard fifty-two of the aixty-three kinds of wheat grown in the state and grow the one or two of the eleven best suited to Sherman county, for bigger profits. Is yet another hint worth considering The new Carleton oat developed at the Moro experiment station has proved to be. immune to covered smut as well as the most prolific bearer. The average yield for nine years at the Moro branch station was 49.8 bushels a n . acre—better than sixty-day and Swedish select, the varieties commonly grown and here tofore the best yielderB. Ten important advantages of crop rotation are listed by the 0 . A. C. experiment station soils department in a new bulletin, “ Crop Rotation and Soil F e r tility .’’ As practiced at the station it doubled the average yield over a 14-year period and great ly simplified the problems of best use of labor and water.
