BIG MONEY MADE IN HAY
A Farmer. Who Realizes $50 per
Acre on His Meadow Lands.

A hay farm in Rogue River. Valley
is quite equal to tho best gold mine of
Southern Oregon as q means Of bring
ing wealth to the owner and there are
plenty Of farmers who are able to give
the figures to prove this assertion.
Andrew Frakes is one such farmer.
Mr.. Frskes was in Grants Pass over
Saturday for a load of supplies and
to pay visit to his father, william
Frakes. Mr.. Frakes owns $50 acres
Of land on Deer Creek near Dryden,
the greater part of which is good
meadow land and which he is seeiing
down as fast as he can get it cleared
Of timber. He now has 45 acres to
grass and will seed % acres more this
fall He is raising alfalfa, red clover
and timothy, putting each on the
laud best adapted to it.
Ie irrigates his grass land and has
one ditch that carries 600 inches and
ia now building another that will
carry 30 inches. He has a good water
supply and will put in other bitches
as he increases his acreage to grass
Mr.. Frakes continues his irrigation
until the fall rains set in his
theory being that where a meadow has
had water all summer and then is
turned dry during the fall months
that the Crowns OF the grass are dried
up and injured by the sun and the
roots are parohed and lie dormant.
He finds he gets larger crops the fol
lowing season to keep the grass
grdwing during the fall months oil
rather to so fertilize II and stimulate
it with a constant supply of water
that it will grow during the entire
season. He thinks that fall watering
will add more than ton to an acre.
product.
As to the profit in hay. Mr. Frakel
stated that his alfalfa averaged II
tons to the acre this past season. be
sides Welding him pasturage for th'
fall months. But Mr.. Frakes is not /
believer in extensive pasturing o
meadow land. Fer his hay he is Sc
curing sl5 a ton at the barn. thus pay
ing him $3.50 an acre. AS the cost o
harvesting the crop is less than $50 al
acre, it leaves a clear profit Of $40
per acre, making hay land an invest
ment equaled by few other ventures
Mr.. Frakes was in the stock bust
ness but he has sold all his cattle bu
three registered Herefords. TIL
price OF cattle being low and that c
hay high left the margin the wron
side of the ledger to suit Mr.. Frakes
He though expects to again take n
cattle raising but it will be reg,stere
stock and not common range cattle h
; will breed.
: As to the prevalent belief that ha
cannot be proftably grown on the hill
land Of Southern Oregon, Mr.. Frakes
fident that 70 per cent of it can b
made to produce good crops Of grass
To accomplish this it is first neces
+ sary to study the soil and select tn
variety of grass best adapted and the
with deep plowing with a subsoile
] and irrigation the hill lands will b
o. as productive as the bottom land.
