Seed Testing
Farmers of Morrow County
can get an accurate test on the
germination and purity of their
seed by forwarding a sample to
the County Agent who will have
it tested free of charge at Cor
vallis. Two most important
items to be foand out are the
wirity, especially regarding the!
presence of noxious weed seeds,
and the percentage of germin
ation. t The kinds or impurity
are many times more important
than the amount Seed with
purity test of 99 percent may be
undesireable if 1 percent, is
noxious weed seeds. According
to Mr. E. N. Bressman, who has
charge of the seed testing labor'
atory at Corvallis, if 1 percent
impurity is seW of Buckhorn,
it may mean as many as 2,250
seeds in a pound. , Seeded at
the rate of 100 pounds to the
a re, this would mean distribut
ing 22,500 weed seeds to the
acre. In taking samples, seed
should be tsken from several
parts of a sack and from all
sacks. If seed in different seeks
is not uniform, separrte samples
should be sent in for thoie sacks
otherwise the samples from dif
ferent sacks can be mixed to
gether. For small seeds as
alfalfa and grass 2 ounces, or
one handful, or for large seeis
like wheat 4 ounces or tw. hand
fills, should be Bent-Morrow

, Crop Diversification
In Eastern Oregon
Will crop diversification pay on
Eastern Oregon dry lands?
The growing of a greater di
versity of crops, with less wheat,
has been repeatedly recommen
ded for the dry lands of the
Northwest by many students of
Hgricu'tural conditions in this
section. These recommendations
have not always been backed up
by authentic information in. re
gard to tke yields and probable
profits farmers might be reason
ably expected to obtain over a
period of years by growing such
drops as corn, peas, potatoes,
and alfalfa in rotation with small
grains.
The latest and by far the most
exhaustive contribution on this
subject has recently appeared
in an Oregon Experiment Sta
tion bulletin. No. 209, entitled
Dry Farm Crop Rotation Experi
ments at Moro, J Oregon. The
merits of the various crops that
have been tried at this station
for many years in rotations with
grain are fully discussed and
figures presented giving annual
an average yields, cost of pro
duction and profits obtained from
the various rotations tried, some
of which are claimed to be more
profitable than growing winter
wheat after summer fallow.
Copies of this bulletin may be
obtained free by writing the
Branch Experiment Station,
Moro. Oregon.
