Efforts of Boy Scouts during the

Pasture Mixture
Tests Shown for
Dairymen Friday

Pasture mixture tests, featuring
a mixture of oats with different
varieties of vetch, were shown
dairymen Friday afternoon at a
meeting at the Meloland Expert
ment station.
L. G.. Goar. superintendent, has
trial plots, planted in October, one
featuring a mixture of knota oats
and purple vetch and the other
of oats and calcarata Vetch. Sixty
pounds of the mixture were seed
ed to the acre, the combination
being one pound of oats to six
pounds Of vetch.
From the purple vetch and oats
mixture a crop comparable to pas
turage was harvested. yielding l a
tons per acre That same plot
now has another good pasturage
crop. Calcareta vetch and oats plot
showed even better results with
the one exception that it can be
used only for pasture while the
purple .vetch and oats may be
out for hay.
Cost of growing the crops is
small and especially for calcareta
since that seed may be grown in
Imperial Valley, much of the pur-
pie vetch being grown in Oregon.
This mixture provides good pas
ture from October to April and

UltiltS vi II uit iiOW iSdNllls Ilic hdl-
ley are going for by-products. AT
present said Harrigan, it is i'm
possible to estimate the damage
done to the trees, which were
badly frozen. the extent of the
injuries viii show with the new
growth, although all leaves and
late growth were killed.
Squash and tomatoes were killed
practically leo per cent by the
frost. Many growers have pruned
tomato plants to the ground and
will probably get new growth from
the old root system. Considerable
replanting OF both tomatoes and
squash is underway with some
planting of hot house plants.
Spring peas were set back by
freezing temperatures and harvest
will be delayed probably until early
in March.

the only damages done TO let

ket. Truck shipments to Los An
geles have been heavy and have
met with satisfactory prices.
Early cantaloupes, brushed and
covered, suffered about so per cent
damage. This applied to about 5000
acres. This estimate of damage
is based not only on frost killing
but includes later damage result
ing from chilling or stunting of
