Land Plaster On Soils Boosts Alfalfa Yields Four ca.a of hndplaster applied to the alfalfa fields of Union county last yt-sr increased the jie.d on 1150 acres about one ton per acre, reports H. G. Avery, county agricultural Btfent. This m-. trial was used for its sulfur cjntent. Following U;e discovery in 1914 by the bouthern Oregon branch "experiment station at Talent at that sulpher increases alfalfa yields, the spread of this practice was accelerated by farmer-county agent demonstra tions until in tuch counties a Klamath, Wasco, Crook, Joseph ine, Deschutes; Lane and East ern Umatilla use of sulfur is extensive. More than a mill pounds of lhat material were used in those counties alone last year. The usual rate of application is 100 pounds an acre. One application is good for two years on the average. S. E. Miller, prominent Union county stockman, has had excel lent success in using sulfer ferti lizer on alfalfa. It gave him three crops of hay one year when half of the same field not ferti lized produced only two crops. Sulfur has practically made the alialfa industry in Wasco county, reports C W. Daigh, county agent, nnd has been worth a quarter of a miliion dollars to that county. Each year has seen an increase in the quantity ordered. Sixteen tons were used in 1921, and 60 tons in 1924,, Three tons of hay from tulfured alfalfa and one ton from unsulfured portions of the fie.d are reported by H. R. Christian stu who lives ic the Goose Lake valley. Lake county.
