JEFFERSON, KING OF CENTRAL CASCADES, A Days JOURNEY FROM THE COLLEGE culture, have recently been issued recommendations concerning the growing ofgrapes under irrigation, with particular reference to commercial production, inthe light soils of Northeastern Oregon.* Other investigations of the Umatillabranch experiment station that promise to lead the way to new farm practicesof permanent importance to northeastern Oregon are those concerning the useof green manure crops in improving sandy soils,** variety tests of cane fruits andof strawberries, irrigation experiments with apple trees and other crops, andseveral soil-building experiments. The horticultural work of the Southern Oregon branch experiment station,located at Talent in Jackson county, has led to the discovery of means wherebyall the advantages of commercial fertilizers for the growing of alfalfa as a covercrop or for hay, may be secured at a saving of 75% of the cost of such fertilizers.!For t
