All know that alfalfa is one of the
best crops for dairy farm because
of its high protein content and be-
cause of its high yield per acre 1t
is not a native of this country, but
since it was introduced into the
southwestern part many years ago
its growth has gradually spread
north and northeast until it is now
found commonly in states as far
north as Idaho, Montana, northern
New York and Vermont, also in Can
ada. Whether it can be grown sue
cessfully in this county will be an
swered by the alfalfa co-operators in
due time and the public will be in
| debted to them for the results OF
! their work The plots are scattered
all over the county, and it will be in
| teresting for each person to know
the one in his locality so he can
keep informed.-News item in Brat
tleboro Reformer.
The Windham county experiment
ers should bear in mind that a one
season test is not sufficient. The
late Charles c. Jones, superintendent
of the Colgate farms did considerable
experimenting with alfalfa in Ben
nington and found that he could not
get a stand of alfalfa the first sea
son but by replanting it on the
same ground the second and, If nee
essary, the third year he was able to
get the proper impregnation of the
soil and a good growth of alfalfa
Mr.. Jones untimely death prevented
the completion of his experiments
but he carried them far enough to
show that alfalfa is well worth try
ing in Vermont. His chief advice
was to persist in trying on the same
ground. Don't change plots unit
you have worked the same ground
for at least three years. Another
thing that Mr.. Jones found, that the
growth of alfalfa depends to a con
siderable extent on the subsoil. The
root system of alfalfa runs deep and
with come subsols there is cleav
age between the subsoil and the sur
face soil when the frost goes out il
the spring. If the subsoil is too stiff
such cleavage breaks the tap-root o.
the plant and kills or injurs it. i
the Windham county farmers will
raise alfalfa where they can ant
where they can't will grow rec
clover generously they will soon fine
themselves on the road to prosperity

OREGON CLIMATE
FAvORS POULTRY
Conditions Are Ideal for Raising
Chickens-Industry Would Pay
Well I'm State.

Climatic conditions in Oregon are
ideal for poultry raising, and no in
dustry in the state is worthy of more
attention at the present time. 1t is
probably the only farm industry the
products of which are not ample to
supply the consumers demands in
this state. In the winter season cities
are clamoring for more fresh eggs.
and the supply is never equal to the
demand except at prices that are pro-
hibitive to large majority. 1t is true
that increased production might reach
such proportions that prices would
fall. That would interest the city, but
the farmer has no particular reason
to see the production increased to
such an extent that prices would fall.
But it is possible to get cheaper eggs
and the farmer make bigger profits
at one and the same time.
The farmer and poultryman need
fear no fall in prices so long as eggs
and poultry are imported into the ctate
from middle-west states. 1t is fact
that the city of Portland depends
largely on imported eggs during the
winter months. Not only that, the
people of the rural communities Of
the Willamette Valley were during the
past winter purchasing eggs from the
Portland, that were laid by the hens
of Kansas and Nebraska.
Nor need we stop at supplying the
, home demand, though 1t is growing
/ faster than production is increasing.
! There Is a large market to the north.
The importations into the state of
, Washington and Territory of Alaska
are much larger than into oregon and
Seattle and Alaska would just as soon
or sooner buy oregon eggs as Kansas
or Nebraska eggs. The production,
therefore, might be very largely in
creased without any danger of fall
! in prices.
The state produced the past year
some s6.000,O00 worth of poultry pro-
ducts. Therefore, this is a business
worth considering. .
With its mild open winters, oregon
affords more natural advantages for
the production of winter eggs than the
cold. severe climate of the middle west
The fact that Oregon can supply green
food the year round Is great advan-
tage, and owing to its many favorable
conditions this state will some day be
noted for the production of eggs and
poultry.
In southern oregon poultry raising
has become quite an industry, and this
section practically supplies the three
largest cities on the coast, San Fran
cisco, Portland and Seattle.
