More Water Boosts Alfalfa Yield, Told Use of liberal quantities of irriga tion water in production of alfalfa hay will usually give corresponding ly liberal yields and result in effi cient use of water, according to the results of a long series of tests at the Umatilla branch experiment sta tion, just reported on by S. H. Has tings, federal agronomist, and H. K. Dean, superintendent of the station. The results showed that where alfalfa is grown on productive soils of a relatively high water-holding capacity, water may be applied co piously and with safety as far as losses from seepage are concerned. In actual measured tests with alfalfa grown in containers where all wa ter applied was measured, applica tion of 118 inches of irrigation wa ter more than doubled the yield ob tained from 60 inches. This rather technical station bul letin No. 404 is entitled "Percola tion and Water Requirement Studies with Alfalfa by Means of Lysimeters in Oregon."
