A nother pre-convention rally will be held at flfanfleld, Friday, March 14. H. J. Ott, president of the Uma tilla P roject Farm Bureau, acted as chairm an of the meeting held last S aturday n ig h t In the basement of the M. E. church a t which 50 people were present. Speakers on the program were Mrs. A. E. M cFarland of U m atilla, A. E, Bensel, Em il Zivney, H. K. Dean, M. E. K nickerbocker and Mr. Ott. Mr. Dean, su perintendent of the U m atilla Field Station, In speaking of soil fertilizers, explained th a t th e soil was a complex substance com posed of organic m atter, and In arid sections, such as Is fdund here, the soil contains less th an one percent organic m atter compared w ith ten percent in the best soils. Rye and vetch planted between row crops are plowed under and the bacteria works on the raw m aterial to make hum us in the soil. This, Mr. Dean stated, is one way to fertilize. He pointed out, however, th a t the best fertilizers, and those which aid In Increased production over a longer period of time, are the manures. F arm m anures are a real benefit to the soils as experim ents carried on a t th e farm have shown. P lats In which alfafla is planted, and which has developed w ithout adding m anure showed a 3.3 yield. O ther plats w here 8 tons of m anure had been applied produced 4.6 yield, and a plat where 32 tons of m anure had been applied produced 5.7 yield. M anure was applied six years out of fourteen in which the experim ent was carried on, the last application in the seventh year of the experi ment, and a t the end of the fo u r teen th year an increase in produc tion was still shown from the appli cation of manure. Each ton of m anure when applied a t the rate of 8 tons per acre, gave a retu rn of 832 pounds of hay. W hen applied a t th e ra te of 32 tons per acre it gave a re tu rn of 370 pounds of hay per ton of m anure applied, show ing th a t the 8 ton application was th e most economical. On the basis of w hat is known at results from application of commer cial fertilizer today. Mr. Dean states th a t it is not recommended th a t farm ers pay money for commercial fertilizer. When super-phosphate was applied, th ere was a little in crease in yield. W hen concentrated nitrogen fertilizer and potash were applied, there was no increase. Emil Zivney, assistan t at the s ta tion, spoke on weeds and weed con trol. He stated th a t one of the most effective and cheapest methods In weed control is to use clean seed; learn to Identify noxious weeds; practice a system of crop rotation; follow a com plete fallow combina tion w ith crops on large infested areas, but unless done system atic ally and completely the expense and labor Is wasted. He stated th a t when a complete fallow could not be carried o ut on the farm , a modified system of ta l low and sm other crops can be used to advantage. One of the best plans Is to fallow throughout the summ er and seed rye or w inter w heat In the fall. As soon as the rye Is harvested, plow the land and repeat for a t least one or more yeara.
