■AST S » E PHARMACY
Neighbors shook their heads back
in 1942 when Gaylord Shively-
bought his 125-acre farm in the
Scappoose Drainage District. The
soil was depleted, much of the
land poorly drained, and the whole
place infected with weeds. The man
who moved off when Shively took
over had found it difficult to sus­
tain 16 cows on (he 125-acre tract.
Today Shively has 52 head of
cattle, including 35 producing
m ilk cows. The farm has become
so productive that this year the
Scappoose farmer has been able to
market 100 tons o f surplus hay.
Newspaper stories and radio
broadcasts have pointed to the
Shively farm operation as an out­
standing example in agricultural
development. In four years acres
o f wasteland hav e grown rich and
profitable.
Shively's success with land w hich
had been given up as useless is a
tribute to modern, scientific farm­
ing methods. The first year he
worked his newly acquired soil he
had to buy 100 tons o f hay and
50 tons o f grain to feed the 40
head o f cattle he had brought with
him to the Scappoose farm. Neigh­
bors urged him either to cut down
his herd or to give up entirely.
Shively did neither. Instead he
applied to the government agricul­
tural conservation program which
is set up to prov vide half the cost
in carrying out practices to con­
serve and improve soil and water
resources. The Columbia County
AAACommittee, headed by Chair­
man W . C. Johnson of Mist, ap­
proved a program of soil building
practices, drainage, pasture, and
irrigation improvement for the
farm and Shively went to work.
In 1943 he launched his pro­
gram. First he turned under 15
acres o f green manure crops and
gave his ailing pasture a two-ton
shot o f phosphate. The following
year he sweetened the sour soil
with 18 tons o f lime and tackled
the drainage problem by construct­
ing 1700 feet o f new drainage
ditch. He continued both projects
in 1945 by giving the soil .37 addi­
tional tons o f lime and digging an­
other 3200 feet o f drainage ditch.
That same year he reorganized
the farm's make-shift irrigation
system, moving 4020 yards of d irt
to construct a permanent lateral
and installing 143 feet of 24-inch
pipe. Irrigation was necessary be­
cause, though the land was watcr-
sogged in the Spring, it dried up
too rapidly when the hot summer
months came on. He rounded out
his 1945 program by seeding 20
acres o f pasture land to improved
grasses and by getting rid o f 55
acres o f bull thistles before they
had a chance to seed.
Last year Shively added another
40 tons o f lime to sweeten the soil,
seeded down another 20 acres of
pasture to better grasses and le­
gumes, and dug another 1400 feet
o f drainage ditch.
Although he has all ready trip ­
led production on his revitalized
acres, Shively feels that his de­
velopment program has just be­
gun. He had proved to himself
and the community that a farm,
properly worked, can grow richer
and more productive w ith the
passing years.
The First National believes that
there is a moral to be drawn from
the story of Gaylord Shively. . . a
moral that emphasizes the grass
root initiative, the imagination
and integrity which characterizes
the Oregon farmer.
The First National Bank of
Portland is interested vitally in
soil conservation and reclamation
and in all projects that advance
the interests of Oregon agricul­
ture. Whatever your needs in farm
financing, you w ill find friendly
co-operation at the First National.
