Page 6 Heppner Gazette Times, Thursday, July 3, 1952 From The County Agent's Office By N. C. Anderson Nitrogen fertilizer plots and fields lieintf annual cropped through use of nitrigen in the Columbia Basin were visited by eount y ajent.s and farm crops s pecia lists from Oregon State ColleRe this week. Counties visit ed were: Wasco, Sherman, Gil liam, Morrow and Umatilla. Fertilizer applications in the trial plots when compared showed that rates of GO to 100 pounds of nitioRen would yield the highest. The i;7Vi pound rate of ammon ium nitrate and calcium nitrate appeared to be the most economi cal. Yield data from the plots when harvested will be made available to farmers. Fields being recropped looked good at the majority of the stops made by the group. Some fields were estimated to yield as high as '10 bushels in Umatilla county with an average of about 30 bus hel"; for the Columbia Basin ex pected. Spring seeded fields will yield double, at leasl, those seed ed in the fall. Average nitrogen applications were about GO pounds actual N. While many fields were in spected, recropping at the Dick Yocum ranch in Sherman County near Ruf us, has been accomplish ing dual purposes. Mr. Yocum is using high rates of nitrogen on land subiect to blow. The nitro gen produces a heavy straw cover that protects the sou from Diow ing at the some time increasing the grain yield considerably. On this farm, 300 pounds of ammon ium nitrate were used, which fur nished 100 pounds of actual nitro gen. Where this application was used the yield in 1951 was 52 bushels per acre. On unfertilized ground within the same field, not subject to blowing, a yield of 30 bushels per acre was harvested. In this field, one can see the bor der of the area fertilized by the increased stubble left on the sur face in trashy fallow tillage. It appears from this year's ob servations that recropping will be continued at an increased rate in 1953. Fields inspected for seed certi fication were made in Morrow County on June 30. All fields in spected passed certification. Those having fields inspected were Benward Bergevin, lone, 158 acres Elmar; Oscar Peterson, lone, 100 acres Elmar; Kenneth Smouse lone, 20 acres Brevor, 475 acres Rex M-l;' Ralph Taylor, Cecil, 6 acres Pubescent wheatgrass, 16 acres Intermediate . wheatgrass and 6 acres Whitmar Beardless wheatgress, and McDole Bros., Ordnance, 80 acres Orestan al falfa.
