The program must continue until days ago Fred Mollenhour, Chap the weed becomes scarce and man, brought in a small tansy ragwort plant in his area. This is the first ragwort that has been found south of Deer Island. How did this one plant get way up in Chapman? What is a good hay crop to plant this fall? This is already becoming a common question as farmers are planning their fall seeding. Many folks report that red clover stands are poor be cause of the dry summer. Some of these stands will be so poor that it may not pay to leave them for hay. However, the stand can look very poor now and still REMEMBER produce a fair hay crop.

Some Insufficient insurance folks seed in clover or clover and isn’t any better than an ryegrass in the fall.

Vetch or vetch and oats can also be seeded into a stand of VERNONIA clover either by drilling or broad INSURANCE casting followed with a light harrowing. Bill J.

It is not a soil building crop and continuous zhzhzhzhzhzh crops of vetch and oats are hard Signs of the times for small woodlot owners were pointed out this week by an Oregon State college extension farm forestry specialist. Charles R. Ross says Oregon is now witnessing its lumber in dustry heyday. During the war years, for example, the state’s average lumber production was about six billion board feet per year. In 1950, production hit 10 bil lion board feet, and it’s going higher this year, Ross says. Meantime where is the timber coming from. The specialist says publicly owned land, about 60 per cent of our commercial for est, now supplies about 2 billion board feet per year. Privately owned land, the remaining 40 per cent of the total commercial forest, is furnishing eight billion board feet or more. • What about the future? Ore gon’s public forests have an an nual sustained cut of about two and one-half billion board feet. Sustained yield of private forests —more difficult to figure—is set around three billion board feet per year. Intensified manage ment, Ross says, will raise all yields, but time as well as new wood outlets are required to see ful fillment of that. In a nutshell, then, Oregon forests are being cut faster than they are being replaced. The same is true nationally. The an nual rate for the country is about 54 billion; present replacement rate is 35 billion board feet. With a current state replace ment deficit of approximately four billion board feet annually, this spells just one thing to Ross: timber demand will increase. So will opportunities for farm wood lot owners. Ross suggests that it is to the advantage of small woodlot own ers to replant poorly stocked woods, and obtain a management plan in order to get a maximum return from an expanding mar ket. on the soil. However, if you need a hay crop to harvest next year and have no stand of red clover, alfalfa or other perennial crop, a fall seeding of vetch and oats is the best bet. How much vetch and oats do you seed for a hay crop. The recommendation is 40 pounds of common vetch and 60 pounds of grey oats. Some folks say that is too much vetch. True, it makes the hay heavy to vetch but this increases the protein in the hay and the yield per acre. It also makes th:: hay harder to handle but certainly yield and quality are what we want in a hay crop. Vetch does not grow well on some hill soils and vetch and oats seedings will end up almost straight oats. Generally this soil needs lime to grow vetch. An ap plication of 300 pounds super phosphate at seeding time will also help the growth of vetch. +------------- ----------------------- : JALOP CHAMPIONSHIP for today...
