OverviewExcerpt from Cropping Systems for the Moister Portion of Eastern Washington and Oregon and Northern Idaho On the silt loam soils of the Willamette Valley, Oregon, where cli matic conditions are very similar to those of the Bitter Root and Blue Mountain regions, summer fallowing has been discontinued, without a decrease in yields. This result was accomplished through the use of legumes, principally clover, in the rotation. Recent stud ies show that the same result may be accomplished by the use of clover in that portion of eastern Washington, eastern Oregon, and northern Idaho having an annual precipitation in excess of 20 inches. The fact that farmers in this section do not use more-clover in the crop-rotation is due, in large measure, to the prevailing idea that it can not be seeded in a nurse crop. In a study of this method of seeding clover the author found that in 100 trials, covering a period of 11 years, acres of land in this region were seeded to clover with wheat, oats, or barley. A good stand of clover was secured on acres, or per cent of the total acreage seeded. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
