Field Station Benefits.
The U m atilla Field station located
south of H erm iston has carried on
a consistent program for the past 30
years developing pasture grasses ad
aptable to lig h t soils in irrigated
sections, w flt-resistan t varieties of
alfa lfa, curly top resistan t bean and
squash, and proper food rations for
dairy cows producing from feeds
grow n on irrig atio n projects. At
present there are 34 tria l com bina
tions in pasture grasses on which
reports are nearly completed, which
will mean thousands of dollars to
farm ers on irrig ated lands through
th e Pacific northw est.
H undreds of varieties of plants,
shrubs and trees are now grow ing
on the farm to test hardiness.
T urkey grow ers have benefitted
from th e experim ent results d eter
mined a t the sta tio n and at present
a five year breeding program is u n
derw ay. The turkey industry brings
thousands of dollars in income to
farm ers in th e sta te ea-h ¡year, and
station experim ents definitely assist
in prom oting th e industry/
Not only these benefi/s b u t the
