Farm Wanted -Wanted to hear from owner of farm or good land for sale, for fall delivery, L. Jones, Box 177, Olney, 111. Farmers Find Station Has Increased Work Different Crops and Improved Var ieties Inspected for L'se on Their Own Farms New crops to replace some of the old that have failed to make good on Oregon farms, anu new varieties of the old standbys were Inspected by fanners from Rainier to Rot-.eburg on the annual field days at the ex periment station, Corvallis. Better treatment of soils to get more profit able yields and still keep up fertil ity, and new facts on feeding and handling farm livestock, cows and poultry, were other things picked up. Getting bigger yields by changing the crops in regular cycles, was one thing. The farmers say fields that had grown beans every year for 14 years and the average was low, only about 9 bushels an acre. Alongside other fields were seen growing beans every third year with barley and clover between times, and the aver age yield for the 14 years was 18 bushels of beans. The profit was more than twice as great in the ro tation, and the soil U still good, while the all-bean fields are so run down as to produce five or six bushels in the later years. How to increase cherry yields 3000 to 10,000 pounds an acre was seen in the orchard work. The big sweet cherries best of their kind In the United States are shy bearers and late, unless pollenized by a suitable variety. Trees planted before this fact was found by the station may be top-worked with varieties named to the farmers and thus get the big crops. If you want 15 bushels more pota toes an acre, everything else the same cut and plant only the blossom ends for seed, was one lesson. Prune your trees right and help them grow, bear, or two of the other 11 best suited to or sell, 62 of the 63 kinds of wheat grown in the state and grow the one or two of hte ohter 11 best suited to your lands for bigger profits, was still a third.
