irrigation The First Year.

Average Yields and Price OF seedsll 1915 inclusive
The Twin Falls times. [volume] (Twin Falls, Idaho) 1905-1916, 1916-03-10

The opportunities for the develop
ment of seed production in the u. ).
were never more encouraging nor bet
ter than at the present time. We, IN
the past, have been depending upon
Europe to furnish us with very large
proportion of the seeds used in this
country Since the present European
war has cut off this source of supply,
we have been brought face to face
with the problem of producing our
own seeds While this shortage will
for a time cause more or less OF a
famine in some of our most needed
seeds, it will in the long run prove to
be blessing. In the first place the
imported seeds are oftentimes of an
inferior quality and are used to adul-
turate and lower the standard of our
home grown products. Secondly, the
seed industry in this country will
necessarily be increased to supply the
demand. When we are educated to
the fact that we can get along better
without foreign grown seeds, the IN
dustry will be placed upon a perman-
ent basis
The signal successes in seed pro-
duction of various kinds in southern
Idaho have demonstrated the fact that
our home grown seeds are of an UNI
surpassed quality Some of the yields
obtained are almost unbelievable. This
is especially true with clover seed.
| This brief report upon the produc-
ton of clover seed in the Twin Falls
country is based upon data obtained
from some thirty successful growers
upon the Twin Falls South Side tract
The area covered in this census
| tho inf, Of
sen to that of Bull The covering OF
so large a territory necessarily en-
braces a wide diversity of conditions
such as physical characteristics and
depth of soil as well as slight climatic
differences. The methods employed in
the seed production given in these
pages are based upon averages and in
the aggregate are thought to be ap-
proximately correct
Brief History.
Mr.. Peter Link, whose ranch is To-
Gated 80 miles south of Hansen, was
among the first men to produce clio
yer seed upon the tract. He had
acres of red clover which yielded
bushels per acre. for which he re
ceived 1920 per bushel. This was II
1907
A year or two later, MIR. PaullS, {
neighbor to Mr.. Link was among the
first to raise alsike seed CONNER
cially. White clover was not exten
sively grown for seed until severa
years after the alsike and the red ha'
been first produced. Mr.. Shields o
Bull, was probably among the frs
to raise fair yield Of this crop. Thi
was in 1914.
I fAI tah
piled from data obtained from a loca
seed buyer as well as from othe
sources and represents something tina
is more or less accurate.
Average Yields and Price Of
The Twin Falls times. [volume] (Twin Falls, Idaho) 1905-1916, 1916-03-10

reduce blooming, however, this last
seems TO be an unsettled question.
Another method which is sometimes
practised is to pasture the clover with
sheep or hogs until the fore part of
May This seems to be a good method
of keeping down weeds, etc 1t should
be stated, however. that many of the
hest yields, if not the very best. were
made on meadows that we're not pas
tured in the spring.
There are almost as many ideas as
to the proper number of times TO irri-
gate as there are growers. One sue
cessful grower will irrigate at a Ger
tain stage while his neighbor who is
equally as successful, will irrigate at
another time. Summing it all up and
basing the conclusions upon the re
suits as shown by the census, it would
probably amount to the following:
Depending upon several factors
such as season, depth and water hold
ing capacity of the soil alsike would
probably require from l TO 4 irriga-
tions during the seaaon For the
season of 1915. some of the heaviest
yields were made with one irrigation
The Twin Falls times. [volume] (Twin Falls, Idaho) 1905-1916, 1916-03-10

The average type of the soil upon
which this report is based would be
classified as a medium clay loan. The
depth to impervious hard pan or to
the lava rock varies, being from two
to eighteen or twenty feet. A thin cal
carious hard pan which tends to be
impervious usually exists In the I'd
and Sd feet.
The altitude at Twin Falls city is
3,825 feet. That near Hansen is sew
eral hundred feet greater, while at
Bull it Is several hundred feet lower.
The length of the growing season at
Twin Falls during 1915 was 144 days,
i.e., between the last killing frost in
the spring and the first killing frost
in the fall.
Preparation of Land.
Stress should be laid upon the i'm
portance of having the land in a first
class condition for irrigation. before
being seeded down to clover. Unless
the land is well leyelled one is not
justified in hoping to obtain perfect
