on the way for the Lewis ranch near
Welten, while the various Dodge
ranches have contracted for a herd
of the best dairy cows.
The Rogue River valley will al
ways be fruit country of the high
est grade, but it should be cattle
country, a hog country, a dairy
country as well. These ranchers in
developing the livestock department
of agriculture are beneftting them
selves but they are also pioneers in
the important work of putting pros
perity in in the Rogue River valley
upon permanent and lasting basis.

GROWING ALFALFA IN
SEMI-ARID washington
WHAT MAY WE EXPECT?

l. Areas receiving considerable
runotf from higher lands or light
sub-irrigation are found occasionally
within the rainfall belt of five to
fifteen inches that often produce
two good crops amounting to three
or four tons per acre, but are no
guide to what may be expected with
the natural rainfall. They are mis-.
leading when so taken.
2. Where the rainfall is less
than Is inches and there is no run
of or sub-irrigation, one fair to
light crop annually is all that should
be expected. if every precaution in
the culture Of the crop is observed
This is better than one fair wheat
crop every four to six years.
3. With less than twelve inches
rainfall, farmers are advised to ex-
pertinent with small tracts until
they learn what they can do. Con-
siderable risk is attached to estab-
fishing the crop with less than twelve
inches annual rainfall.
WHAT ARE TIE REQUISITES FOR Sue
CESS?
1. Seed of the highest quality
(Seed will be examined without
charge by the Department of Bot
any, State College, Putnam
2. A first.class summer fallow,
offering a good supply of readily
available plant food. stored mois-
ture, freedom from weeds. A poor
summer fallow is not safe. The
young plants need every advantage.
3. No nurse crop. (Where the
soil drifts nurse crop would be
necessary, but the success of alfalfa
under such condition is very doubt
full
4. Seeding with drill. as de.
scribed in latest bulletin issued by
the State College.
5. Very thin seeding, preferably
in rows 80 to AZ inches apart fol
cultivation.
6. Thorough cultivation every
year.
Z. Care not to pasture close at
any time.
We would strongly urge farmers
throughout the semi-arid belt to give
alfalfa a careful trial. AS a forage
and soil-improving crop for such
conditions it is of the highest rank.

THE HOG AS A PROSPERITY MAKER

A carload of hogs-the first in
two years-was shipped from Central
Point to Portland Tuesday by Eden
Brothers and R. M. Conley. This
car will bring the owners $780,
| good price for car load of extra
fancy fruit.
These hogs, we are told, were not
sprayed, pruned or sorted, but were
fattened on alfalfa and sweet clover
grown on these two ranches and
shipped as they run. Many of the
pigs were from the spring litter and
represented some six months work,
with the pigs doing a large share of
it.
This shipment, which is to be fol.
lowed by another car shortly, once
more calls attention to the oppor-
tunities in the way of diversified
farming in this valley.
The fruit business is a lucrative
one, properly handled, and where
the soil is well selected is hard to
beat when returns, healthful en-
ployment, ETC., are considered. But
livestock raising has many advan-
tages and when adopted in conjunc-
ton with fruit raising is the best
possible insurance against loss.
Under present conditions fruit
cannot escape its off years. With
cattle and hogs there is ready and
a steady market from one years
end to another, and relatively speak
ing, the cost of production is low.
Moreover, the hog is forager.
Properly cared for he spends IL
hours a day, seven days in the week.
converting low priced crops into
high priced pork, ham and bacon.
Where the cow will increase from
60 to 100 per cent annually, the
hog will increase 500 to 1000 per
cent and he can be converted into
money as readily as wheat or gold
dust.
One of the most encouraging signs
in the Rogue River valley at present
is this revival in stock raising. There
are thousands of acres in the hills
and in the less fertile regions where
sweet clover can be grown and gov
ernment experiments have demon
strated that this despised weed not
only has approximately the same
protein value as alfalfa but that
stock would relish it often in pre-
ference to alfalfa. Moreover, it will
grow without irrigation. In fact,
the principal problem heretofore has
been to prevent sweet clover from
growing, its prediction for mac
adam roads being well known.
Two car loads of cattle are now
