sessment Of Cost Of Paving on
Boone Street.

The city council met in regular
session at the city hall last evening,
their last meeting for 1912 This
was the time set for the reading of
objections to the paving on Boone
street and two property owners reg
istered objections. They were w. H.
France and A. H. Maxon. They both
objected to the rate of assessment,
claiming that it was altogether too
high considering the value of their
property. After discussing these OBJ
jections the council passed the final
resolution on the Boone street pave
ment Payments should be made or
waivers signed by the. end Of thirty
days from last night, that being the
given length of time on all streets
paved. unless the right to appeal to
the courts is exercised.
The usual bills were presented
and allowed

SCIENCE OF CROPS
BRINGS REWARDS

oregon Agricultural College, Cor
Wallis, OrN.-An average yield of 20
to 80 per cent more in crops raised
on farms of the O. \. c. experiment
station than on other farms in the
locality is reported by Prof II. ID.
Scudder of the sherman, Crook and
barney county experiment farms.
He attributes these results to the sci
enurc methods in conjunction with
unusually favorable weather condi-
tions.
Corn. field peas, alfalfa and Turkey
red wheat have succeeded on the land
of number of eastern Oregon far
mers, indicating a promising future
for them in the dry-farming areas.
Five years ago it was claimed that
these crops could not grow there
with any profit to the farmer, but
the college insisted then, as now, on
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1912-10-24

harvesting expense, and still more inn
portant, it increases rather than de-
pletes the soil fertility. The brown
rield peas proved far the best and will
be grown for distribution as fast as
possible.
Alfalfa grown in cultivated rows
Cor seed production gave the grea.
est success of all, and proved most
gratifying to Prof Scudder, who has
advocated this particular form of
production. and now feels that the
college is well justified in pushing
this form of dry-farming work. A
variety which he introduced from the
Dakotas is far superior to all others
not only in drought resistance, but
in seed production and resistance to
frosts Former estimates of a pos
sible profit of $50 an acre each year
from the seed crop it is believed, will
be exceeded considerably The seed
is of unusual value, both for its harm
mess and vigor and because of its
environment. 1t has already proven
its superiority to wheat as money
maker and its value as a soil build
err is unquestioned. More than a ton
of hay to the acre was also obtained
this year in the alfalfa fields at Moro
and Improvement in method Is ex-
pected to bring the yield up to ton
and a half.
Certain varieties OF potatoes intro
duced in sherman and Crook coun-
ties by the college have also proven
superior in yield and quality and as
potatoes are always of unusual quail
ity on the dry-farming land, the va
rieties now being developed on the
experiment station fields will prove
profit bringers
