reach it.
Mrs. Obenchain in AN interview to-

INCREASE IN ALFALFA CROPS
larver Yields Secured BY Oregon and
Washington Farmers BY Appli.
cation Of Sulphur.

Farmers In Oregon and Washington
have greatly increased their alfalfa
crops by the application Of sulphur.
This practice Is based upon tho re-
suits Of investigations by the expert
ment stations In these states as well
as upon demonstrations of the use OF
sulphur on alfalfa conducted by the
county agricultural agents In co-opcra-
tlon with specialists from the agrlcul-
tural college. In Deschute county last
year 2S5 tons of sulphur were used,
mt n total cost of n little more ,hdn
$4,000. and the increased yield. reck-
oned at $40 ton, was Sl2O,OO. In
Jackson county 271 tons. costing
about $1,000. are estimated to have
increased the Yield $1,000. In Kla.
mnth county 9s tons. costing $5.4OO,
gave nm estimated increase OF $4,000
reckoning alfalfa at SIS n ton. Dem
onstrations In Josephine Wallowa and
WnscO counties give similar ratio
OF results. The first experiments In
sulphur fertilization In these states
were made In 1912. Rapid develop
ment " the innovation was made pos.
sible through the system of county
