Crop Rotation Need.
W. A. Sawyer expressed the need
of crop rotation which was general
ly neglected where new lands were
available. A crop rotation plan was
the only way, he said, to prevent
the over use of one planting of al
falfa or pasture. In order to prevent
deteriation of the soil, the plowing
under of soil building crops is es
sential before the crop begins to
show a low yield.
A chart showing a crop rotation
plan over a period of seven years was
explained by Mr. Sawyer. This chart
showed a general plan and was sub
ject to change for each individual
farm.
In order to carry out crop rota
tion of a farm systematically Mr.
Sawyer recommended that a map be
made of the individual farm and a
chart made of the crops to be rota
ted.
Crop rotation must come, Mr.
Sawyer said, in order to prevent
deteriation of the soil, especially in
irrigated districts. Farmers who
have carried on a crop rotation pro
gram over a period of years have
found that all crop yields on their
farm are higher.
H. J. Ott, president of the orga
nization. presided at the meeting
which opened following a group sing
lead by A. E. Bensel. Music was fur
nished by Edna Ott. Deverde Elwood,
Archie Fry and Guy Jeppe. An en
tertainment film was shown through
the projector machine owned by the
organization.

Stanfield is a bee hive of activity.
The warm spring days have not only
accelerated work on the project but
interest in new educational and rec
reational activities are quite appa
rent.
The addition of Roy Wiekal of the
Biological Survey as rodent control
foreman has added a very necessary
and worth while service to the com
munity. Gopher poisoning work is
well under way. A crew of seven
men is at work every day systemati
cally destroying the pests.
The Gossage fill, four miles east
of Stanfield, is now ready for the
water and more than a hundred men
are busy concreting and building at
the Conley fill, seven miles north-
east of Stanfield.
Dr. G. R. Davidson, federal veter
inarian who has been making the
Bang's disease test in this district,
will complete his work soon and will
then go to Pendleton where he will
make the second test in herds there.
Farmers whose herds, have been
missed in this district on the second
test should get In touch with Assis
tant County Agent Sawyer’s office
immediately.
During Dr. Davidson’s stay, 114
herds have been tested, and a total
of 1284 cows tested. The percentage
of reactors among these cows was
S.7.
Dr. Davidson has been in this ter-
ritory since the first of February.

Improvements at Cannery.
Improvements being made at the
Hermiston Co-operative
Cannery
will insure more floor space and
greater canning capacity. A second
pressure cooker will be installed
and also a capping machine which
will enable the cannery to handle
both number two and number two
and one-half cans on the same day,
thus insuring greater speed and
handling capacity. The office has
been transferred from the main
canning room to space in the stor
age room, giving a much greater
floor space. O. L. Barlow, manager
of the cannery and laundry, states
that the cannery will now have a
capacity for 100,000 cans.
Brain Abscess Operation.
Katherine Guerin, nine year old
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. D.
Gurian of Umatilla, underwent an
emergency operation Tuesday at St.
Anthony's hospital for the removal
of an abscess of the brain, behind
the ear, the operation being per
formed by Dr. Guy Boyden, for
merly of Pendleton and now of
Portland, and Dr. H. S. McKenzie
of Pendleton. Reports from the hos
pital state that the child stood the
operation well, but that her condi
tion is critical. Dr. Boyden arrived
at midnight via United Air lines
and the operation was performed
immediately after his arrival.— STANFIELD ITEMS OF

Brings Success to Farmers.
♦ • • • • • • • • • • • •
Planting of hardy strains of al
falfa and crop rotation by farmers
in the irrigated districts such as
there is in the Hermiston territory
was discussed at the Umatilla Pro
ject Farm Bureau meeting held last
Friday by H. K. Dean, superinten
dent of the Umatilla Field Station,
and W. A. Sawyer, assistant county
agent. Walter G. Holt, county agent
of Pendleton, was a visitor at the
meeting.
Mr. Dean's information was giv
en in the form of a radio interview
with C. M. Jackson acting as the
interviewer. The interview brought
out the need of planting and main
taining hardier types of alfalfa by
proper application of fertilizer to
build the vitality of the plants. Ex
periments carried on at the field
station showed that the hardy plants
which were properly fertilized with
stood the cold winter, while the
tender types which had not been
fertilized suffered considerably.
Certain alfalfa strains have been
developed in which the tender
types have been killed off by con
tinuous exposure to northern cli
mates. The hardy strains, warned by
the cool nights of early autumn,
prepare for winter by a cessation of
the plant functions and the storing
of plant food to carry it through
the winter. Of course proper ferti
lization also builds up the vitality
of the plant, enabling it to better
stand the cold winters.
Tender strains are unused to cold
winters and make considerable
growth after the last crop is cut,
which weakens the plant and saps
the vitality. The tender strains fre
quently give a heavier yield in a
year than the hardy strains, but
there is more danger of a kill from
a cold winter.
During the four years between
1929 and 1932, a tender strain gave
the highest yield of gravities while
grimm ranked sixth of the nine
strains. The winter of 1932-33 was
a hard one for alfalfa registering
ten degrees below zero in December,
warming up considerably in Janu
ary and then dropping to fourteen
degrees below zero in February. As
a result an even 100 percent of the
tender strains was found dead the
following spring, while 77 percent
of the grimm was growing vigor
ously. Another 11 percent of the
plants had a chance of recovering
and only 12 percent were dead. The
grimm is still producing crops and
the tender varieties are gone.
The winter of 1924-25 was an
other cold one and there is no assur
ance that we will not have regular
seasons cold enough to destroy ten
der types of alfalfa in this section.
During the average life of a
stand of alfalfa, the hardy giving
a somewhat lower yield, will give
more hay in ten years than the ten
der strains.
Mr. Dean closed the interview by
urging that farmers study the re
sults of experiments carried on un
der local conditions of over 100 var
ieties of alfalfa at the experiment
station, before they plant.
