VOLUME XXVIII NUMBER 22 FORAGE CROPS AND APPROVED CULTURAL METHODS DISCUSSED t ____ ALFALFA HAY SAID TO BE MAIN PROJECT CROP. Crop Rotation Practice Urged; Har dier Varieties of Alfalfa > Seed Recommended. At a Umatilla Project Farm Bu- reau meeting held in the Methodist church Saturday night, January 20, H. K. Dean, superintendent of the Umatilla Experiment Station, led a discussion of forage crops and ap- 1 roved cultural methods. The discussion, which was parti cipated in by several prominent farmers, brought out the fact that alfalfa must be the basis of any type of farming on the project. The aitalta hay yield on the project in . 912 was 39,000 tons, and in 1932 it was 11,000 tons. The hardier va- tieties for spring planting, Mr. Dean said, are Grimm, South Dakota 12, and LaDak. These should be plant ed at a shallow depth in a well cul tivated soil, with a slightly rough surface to prevent blowing. J. Jendrzejewski urged crop rota- tion practices by farmers on . the I roject and sighted an example of a neighbor who followed this practice and succeeded on a farm that had previously been considered no good. A. E. Bensel, a successful project : inner, contends that the hardiest seed may be obtained from an old stand of alfalfa here on the project. After the seed has been selected, Mr. Eensel says. It is necessary to study the type of soil, and seed carefully. 7 hen follow the growing period and battle against the three major dan- gers, a wash out, a blow out, and a dry out. . During the course of Mr. Dean's discussion he told how H. J. ‘ president of the Umatilla Pro; Farm Bureau, stored squash under a straw stack where it kept warm and dry during the winter month*. It was brought out further in the discussion that any of the various emergency crops as planted last year are only emergency crops to be used to furnish feed when no legume hay was available, and that one ton of alfalfa is worth nearly four tons of such forage from the standpoint of feeding value, besides costing less per ton to put up. * S Store Proposal Postponed. A plan for a cooperative grocery store was offered and discussed at the meeting but no definite action 1 as taiten and the proposal was tabled. Other matters of importance to the farmers were discussed. Program Offered. . Musical numbers were offered in the form of a duet by Mary Jane Hammer and Nellie Hooker, who were accompanied by Lois Hutchi son; Guy Jeppe entertained with a number of accordion solos; and Mrs. J. T. Clark gave a clever reading. Named Vice President. F. B.
