DRY LAND ALFALFA.
EASTERN Oregon Will Grow Tons
of 1t.

Professor Byron Hunter, United
Estates department OF agriculture. in

Investigations, has prepared the follow
ing article on the subject, "The Grow

"Although alfalfa gives it's largest re-
aturns under irrigation, often yielding six

and best paying hay plant that can be
grown on dry upland in eastern Wash
7Tngton and eastern Oregon. On such
land it does not reach it's highest de-
velopment until about the third year,
as it requires some time for the root
system to develop sufficiently to take
ZIP the required moisture for the plant.
Elherefore, little must be expected the
first year and only light returns the Sec
ond.
Preparation of the soil-The ground
selected should be as free a. possible
gtrom weeds, as these are the great en-
ssny of the young alfalfa plant. Land
,plowed deep carly in the spring and
a1horoughly cultivated during the sum
,'lner, makes an exec lent seed bed for
alfalfa. With land prepared in this
s-yay and with early fall rains, early fall
s=i-eding would probably give very sstis-
factory results. At this time, however,
we have very little data regarding fall
sseeding. If the land selected for the
4aifalfa field grew a crop tie previous
season, pow it deep in the fall or early
winter as soon az it is wet enough. Let
1t lie in this rough state until in good
working condition in the early spring,
Swhen it should be thoroughly pulveriz
ed and packed by narrowing, diskirg,
,-oiling. ETC., according TO circumstances
As soon as danger of killing frosts ie

that may have germinated and to break
@up any crusts that may have formed on
the surface OF the ground. Then SOW

Innoculation-If it is thought that
e.ue alfalfa bacteria is not already in the
soil, material for innoculating the seed
may be obtained from DR.. Geo. T.
Moore, bureau Of plant industry, Wash
sng.on, D. c., by writing to him and
:-stating the amount of seed to be sown,
ant approximately the date upon which
you expect to do the seeding. 1t is
necessary to give Dr.. Moore q little time
n order that the innoculating material
may reach you in due season. Innocu.

face coil from an old alfalfa field and
