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. This seed will be tested for
germination and purity after fiar
vest to determine whether it can
be sold as Registered and blue
tag seed.
