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.
Although many farmers apply
sulfur in the spring it has been
found that fall application re
sults in an immediate increase in
yield the following summer.
