FARMI
County Agent Declares Ap
, proximately 50 Per Cent
of Farm Land Planted to
Soil Conserving Crops
Use of diversified fuming, being
urged by the federal government
for agriculture throughout the na
tion, la found In almost Ideal pro
portion In Jackson county, accord
ing to R. G. Fowler, county agent.
Diversified farming, Fowler ex
' plained, means principally the plant
ing of soil-conserving cropa, aucb aa
alfalfa, hay and other legumes In
conjunction with aoll-depletlng cropa
auch aa grains, rather than allowing
the land to become exhausted
through years of supporting soU
deetroyers. Approximately 60 of the farm
land In tbla section la now planted
to legumous, or soil-conserving crops.
Fowler said, which Is considered an
Ideal condition. Many orchardlsts. he
pointed out, are now diversifying
their land by planting legumous
grasses between orchard rows and
other farmers in the valley are utilis
ing various mesne of Increasing soil
restoring crops.
Stock Rise Helps,
The character of agriculture In
southern Oregon, Fowler aald, has
always been fairly well diversified
but has reached it present , ideal
proportion through an Increase of
crop variety during the past several
years. Part of this Increase, he added.
Is due to the marked rise In live
stock production which has necessi
tated larger pasturage, the pastur
age being largely composed of grasses
and other legumes.
A 100 per cent Increase In dslry
cattle has been noted In the county
within the past 8 years while beef
production has Increased as per cent
In five years. Fowler considers the
increased livestock yield very bene
ficial and believes that present trends
Indicate a continued Increase, par
ticularly In the dairy field.
Farmer In the valley formerly
raised more grain than now, Fowler
aald, but only as to acreage. Diversi
fied farming methoda have resulted
In bigger yields on less acreage.
1300 Co-operating,
Twelve hundred farmers In the
county have signed for co-operation
with the agricultural adjustment
act, Fowler reported, representing 65
per cent of crop lsnd and 45 per
cent of farmers In the county.
Lack of the use of soil-conserving
crops was cited by Fowler as the
principal cause of the present condl-
, tlons existing In the mid-west dust
bowl. Legumes, he explained, horn
the soil together, fscllltate the re
tention of moisture, aid bacterial and
chemical action In the soil and pro
duce humous, all necessary adjuncts
to continued soil fertility and tllla
blllty. Federal Act Benefits.
Fowler believes the federal soil
conservation act has been of great
aid to fsrmers throughout the na
tion. Reports from the Antelope dis
trict show diversified farming meth
ods to be popular and profitable
there. Mr. and Mrs. Carl von der
Hellen are raising grain, alfalfa
bay, sheep, corn, truck and conduct
a dairy. Other farmers In the dis
trict experimenting with the plan
are Bill Blgham. Elbert Blghanv
Harve Stanley and Tom Hatlett.
who has been successful In raising
Ladlno clover seed for the past
three years.
VsJley conditions are favorable to
farming thia year. Fowler aald. Heavy
spring rains dispelled the lesr oi
water ahortage from a prolonged
drouth last fall and although the
growing season Is later than normal,
good yields are expected.

Full Extent of Blight Dam
age Not Yet Known
Trees Unusually Clean
for This Time of Year
PORTLAND, July 16. (AP) Mid-
June rains ruined a vast proportion
of the early cherry crop and de
veloped a serious blight in the pear
producing areas of southern Oregon,
the federal bureau of agricultural
economics said In Its July report
today.
The blight resulted In some heavy
individual losses, the bureau said.
but the full extent of the damage
cannot be determined over the en
tire area. Although the June drop
ha been heavy, considerable thin
ning waa necessary In the pear or
chards. Worm damage la negligible,
the survey continued, and the trees
are "unusually clean" for this time
of the season. Despite the blight and
late setting of fruit, prospects are
favorable for a crop of "very fine
quality."
Prune Crop Small.
June rains aided In sizing the
prune crop, but the general crop
outlook in western Oregon is below
the average.
Late spring frosts harmed peach
buds and conditions were unfavor
able for pollination. Several sections
reported heavy drops and the gen
eral prospects are below normal.
The off-bearing year in the Hood
River valley sent the apple crop
outlook below the 10-year average.
Cool weather left the fruit small
but the crop will be of good qual
ity. Much depends, however, on -the
ability of farmers to replace spray
washed off by rain.
Later maturing cherries escaped
the mid-June storms and a good
crop will be harvested.
Grapes Damaged.
Winter damage hit the less hardy
grapes and the season is so late the
crop was not set by July I. Some
mildew resulted in southern Oregon
Spotted walnut prospects left the
general outlook "fair to good." Blight
occurred In some districts because
of cool weather Damaging effects
of the 1935 freeze Is apparent in all
sections. Pollination was unsatisfac
tory, and the June drop will run
heavier than average.
Because of the late season, the
bureau said it Is too early to estl
mate the filbert crop. The nuts have
set and the trees are In healthy con'
dltlon. The survey reported the crop
" will be heavy."
