NATURE AND =ENT OF WORK DONE THIS YEAR:
1. Soil Fertility Studies
A.
Continuation of field plot testing of the different major
plant food elements, rates and carriers of different plant
foods. This is being done in farmers' fields to help formulate guides to better and more efficient fertilizer usage.
B.
Laboratory analysis to:
1. Determine amounts of the plant foot element available
in the soil or determine the amounts of those constituents
which affect the soil productivity - e.g. sodium percentage,
etc. This information will be correlated with actual field
responses in an effort to increase the reliability of soil
testing.
Z. Determine the effect of the various fertilizer treatP
ments on the quality of the crop grown. Of particular in-
terest in the last year or two has been the quality of
barley grown for malting purposes. A considerable anount
of barley in this area is rejected for malting purposes
because of high protein content. Samples from the fertilizer plots were analyzed for protein. Forage samples
from the pasture fertilizer trial were also analyzed for
protein.
This laboratory testing is anther s tep towards making the
soil research project a more thorough and well rounded

Miscellaneous.
1. Considerable thought has been given to new methods
or techniqaes that might help to cut down the time and
labor required to carry through. a plot; also to reduce
the wide ranges of variability that occur within plots.
These are the new procedures and techniques tried this
year:
(a) Larger plots - e.g. 15 x 100 feet.
(b) The use of an E-Z Flow fertilizer spreader.
(c) The use of a fertilizer machine designed for
plot work (machine used byTom Jackson at
Corvallis).
The
use of a 3 foot hand pulled Candy spreader
tai
(d)
and then rototilling in the fertilizer.
More
observations were made on the irrigation

methods and techniques as it might effect the
plot.
(f) Farmers' self-propelled combines were tried in
harvesting the larger experimental plots.

a. Reclamation and Amendment Studies
-
This work centered largely around the plots which were started the
previous year. Last year the plots were leached. This year the
plots were planted to a crop to determine if one year of reclamation
was sufficient to make this soil, which was originally unproductive,
produce a satisfactory crop. In this plot the known fundamental
principles of alkali reclamation were applied and incorporated into
various treatments. The field site selected for this test was selected to test the applicability of these principles to our conditions,
and to demonstrate to the farmers that alkali reclamation is possible
when these principles are followed.
This plot was viewed with considerable interest by the local farmers.
RESULTS OF THE PROJECT.
I. Major Accomplishment of the Project since its Inception.
1. SoilrFertility Studies.
Since the project was started there have been sufficient numbers
of trials in a sufficient number of locations so that some guide
as to the fertilizer needs of the area has been obtained. A
"Guide for Fertilizer Usage in South Central Oregon - Klamath
County" was compiled during the past year. This publication
came out as an Oregon State College and Klamath Experimental Area
and Soils Department publication of March 1954 under the number
S-29. This guide will be printed in this report. In summarizing
the major accomplishments of the project since its inception
this can be said:
(1) Exploratory trials have been conducted in most of the
different areas and on different soil conditions so that
information has been gained as regards the general fertility status `of the soils. This information is basic and
fundamental to setting up long term rotational plots. This
should bs the next step in continuing this soil research
program.
(2) While this exploratory work has been mainly to determine what deficiencies, if any, are present, it has also
given us some indication of rates of fertilizer to be'applied.
(3) Somewhat more detailed work has been done on the muck
soils of Lower Klamath Lake. Here it has been found that
part of the difficulty in growing crops has not been due to
the excess boron in the soils, which it was originally
thought, but rather due to a lack of phosphorous and three
of the minor elements , namely - copper, manganese and zinc.
-
-
(4) In connection with experimental work on the muck soils
on Lower Klamath Lake it was found that differences in
response's were cbtained from different sources of phosphate
fertilizer. This has been tracked down and it has been
found that the differences in the zinc content of these
phosphate fertilizers is the factor contributing to the
differences in response* This is of very . much importance
in experimental work and in practical use also. Without
knowing about this matter of zinc impurities in the different phosphate fertilizers it would not be possible to
obtain accurate results from the use of applied minor
elements in experimental trials.
a. Reclamation and Amendment Studies The major accomplishment here is probably the finding that
application of the known principles of alkali reclamation
will apply to the alkali soils of our area. This has been
demonstrated through greenhouse experiments on soils from
various locations which have been severely affected with
alkali. The best results, or the best treatments, from
these greenhouse experiments were tried in a well selected .
and well prepared field plot. The results of the field plot
were excellent in this last year's experiment. This experimental eplot has been used for demonstrational plots for field
days and for individual farmers as they come to the station.
It has served to emphasize the importance of following closely
those known principles of alkali reclamation and it has also
served to stimulate interest in the reclamation of alkali soils
in the area.
Studies on the raiamation of alkali soils have not been carried
out off the station. Ii is worse than futile to attempt to reclaim alkali soil unless proper conditions prevail, such as adequate drainage, leveling of the land so that water can be properly
applied to the soil, together with diking of the soil so that
water can beponded. These conditions generally do not prevail
on farmers' fields. They did not prevail on the experiment station
until the big drain was installed.
The list of procedures used in reclaiming this alkali soil will
be discussed under the heading "MajorResults of the H e arti,
121d-
UP. RESULTS OF THE
Soil Fertility.
For the most par t the experimental work carried on this year was a
continuation of the same type of trials as in previous years. The
trials were conducted in different locations but under conditions
which are normally encountered in the area.
In summary:
(a) Results are in general keeping with those of previous
findings. This year's results have helped in establishing
rates, limits, etc. (For detailed information see "Guide
for Fertilizer Usage
),
(b) The perplexing problem of differences in response from different sources of phosphate in the Lower Llamath Experimental Staion trials was solved. The differences were due to the diflerenees in zinc content of the different phosphates. These
soils were low in zinc. Consequently when phosphate carrying
zinc

impurities were used, good yield responses were obtained.
zinc free phosphates were used, no responses were obtained.
zinc deficiency had been overlooked for sometime since
carrying phosphate fertilizers had been used*
(c) More thought has been given to the possible causes of variation
within the experimental plots. soil tests showed that not all
the variations were due to soil differences. Observations had
Shawn that part of the "spotting" in the plots was due to differences in soil moisture. In so many cases the fields are not
entirely level. The high spots are dry. Low areas get too much
water. These differences in elevation are not great but do exert
a big influence on crop response and hence variability.
(d) New plot techniques were tried. The ideal method of putting in
a plot has not been found yet. The machine designed and used
by Tom Jackson, which was tried here, is not too satisfactory
here. It places the bands of fertilizer too far apart and not
deep enough. The best finding in the way of new techniques was
that farmers' self-propelled combines can be used to a very good
advantage in harvesting experimental plots. Of two identical
plots, one harvested the usual way - by hand - took 33 man hours
to complete. Using the farmer's self-propelled combine, it took
11 man hours to accomplish the same thing. 'In addition, it was
quite evident that in using the combine more uniform sampling
was poSsible.
II. RECLPMATION AND AMENDMENT STUDIES
The appliCation of the known fundamental principles of alkali
reclamation proved to be very sufficient to reclaim alkali soils
of the main station. See outline of procedure ifi "Guide for
Fertilizer Usage". Two points need'to be emphasized here that
are not generally emphasized at all, or, at any rate, very little.
They are:
1. Following a reclamation treatment the soils are very infertile. They need to be fertilized - on our soils with about 60 pounds of N and 90-100 pounds of P2O5 just
before planting the crop.
2.
Alkali soils even after reclamation need to be irrigated
with care. Light but frequent applications of water are
best. They cannot be irrigated in the same way as normal
soil.
OUTLOOK
I. Soil Fertility Studies
There are three general types of approaches that can be used in'studying the soil fertility needs of an area. The first procedure would
be exploratory type of plots, more or less annual in nature- that is,
the plots are designed just for the one year. They are not continued
in the same plots year after year. The next step would be the socalled long term plots in which could be incorporated the information
detained from the exploratory or annual type of plots. The first
type would give the immediate needs or determine the deficiencies
which were present. The secondtype of plot would determine the
long time effect of the use of any particular fertilizer practice
and also it would determine the need for frequency of application.
The third approach to study ing the soil fertility needs of an area
would be classed as a cheMical. By this is meant more emphasis being placed bn Soil tests to determine fertilizer needs. This, of
course, needs to be tied in with the first two type of plots. This
chemical testing could, however, be extended to include more elements than the 'Usual ones of nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium.
Under the chemical approach also would come the procedure of foliPr
testing. The present status of the soil fertility studies here are
such that we are entering into the second stage. The exploratory
type of plots, or the alnual plots, have given us about, as much information as is practical to ;get from that type of plot. Ae should
be entering the second phase of this soil fertility study now. In
connection with this long term plot we should initiate the third
approach - the chemical.

From observation of plots which have been located out in the area on
farmers' fields, it has become very evident that the permahent:type
of plots cannot be located on farmers' fields. This is true because,
not possible, particularly irriin most cases, sufficient control is
gation. Without adeqaate control, setting up of this type of plots
will be of no value.
ha looking at the future needs from the standpoint of soil fertility
work, it is felt that more emphasis should be placed on quality studies
as they are affected by the dlfferent fertilizer treatments. This is
particularly true as regards the effect of fertilizer en melting qual4
ity of barley.
outlook has come about because of the finding of the
differences between the various sources he phosphate fertilizer. Since
it has been found that impurities in the dgliferent phosphates con bring
about differences in responses, the'results from the old phosphate emteci and new erg ell men t s are

soils can be recialf6d by the procedure Which wa8 found satisfactory
in the =eenhouse. It is fellt that this procedure can be used successthe alkali soils in this area. Us to fature research
fally on most of
needs on reclamation and aMendment studies, possibly not a great deal
of emphasis should be placed on any more field plot testing with this
same procedure. Any more field testing that is done should be done
either to test newer and better methods, one of which would be, for
instance, a testing of the effectiveness of gypsum dissolved in the
irrigation water as compared with its effectiveness when it is simply
broadcast on the surface of the soil. This is only one example of
new things that might be tried. As regards the procedure used in this
reclamation treatment, this infOrmation is ready to be used by the extension service in their educationalwork among those farmers who are
interested in alkali reclamation. Possibly one step before this would
be to establish a large field scale demonstrational area in which the
experiment station would cooperate with the farmer in helping him set
up a reclamation program on .a field scale.
PRACTICAL APPLICATION OF RESULTS OR PUBLIC BENEFITS
-
I. Soil Fertility Studies.
The results of these experiments can be used by farmers to help them
determine their fertilizer needs. Some basis is now available for
making fertilizer recommendations. In addition to this it has been
shown that the use of commercial fertilizer is an economical practice.
This information has been made available to farmers and has helped
stimulate the use of fertilizers by farmers. This has meant more
efficient production on their part and the greater income to the entire
area.
/I. Reclamation and Amendment Studies
The field trial which was conducted last year and had a crop growing
on it for the first time, attracted considerable attention and was
viewed with a great deal of inteeet 1 by many farmers.' The procedure
used in this reclamation experiment has proved sufficiently satisfactory so that the procedure can be recommended for reclamation of alkali soils in the area. Interest in reclamption had, for a time,
slowed up since most of the easily reclaimed soils had been reclaimed
and those which were remaining were those that were more difficult to
reclaim; The experimental plot was on this latter type of soil. With
evidence and first hand information now available on how to reclaim these
more difficult soils interest is again revived.

PROGRAM FOR THE COMING YEAR.
I. Soil Fertility
This part of the report is being written after the plots for the 1954
season have been put out. In view of this the section headed "Program
for the Coming. Year" will be discussed. in terms of the plots actually
out at the present time. A general outline and a brief discussion of
the plots (1954) is given below.
A. Field EXperiments.
Grain Fertilizer.TrialS
(1) Irrigated Mineral Soils
Two in Poe Valley. These two in Poe Valley were put out to
determine if there was a deficiency of any of the three major
elements - nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium and sulfur. There
were also various rates of nitrogen and phosphorous in the
trial. This is the first time that the irrigated area of Poe
Valley has been tested for need for grain fertilizer.
One grain fertilizer trial in the Henley Area. This plot
was put out on last year's potato fertilizer trial to test
if there is any residual effect from the 1953 potato fertilizer applications.
One grain trial in Lake County on irrigated soils of the
Goose Lake Valley. This was put out to determine what the
fertilizer requirements might be. A few trials have been
put out_in that area in the past. This is *rely an extension of this type of testing to newer, and previously untested area.
-
One grain fertilizer trial in Langell Valley on the black
clay soil along Lost River. This trialwas put out with
the intention of determining if nitrogen, phosphorous or
potassium, or boron, or any of the three minor elements might
be of any value in growing good barley in the area. Barley
production on these black soils of Langell Valley is not
satisfactory. ihe vegetative growth of barley is fairly
good; however, the heads do not fill. Soil tests show that
this soil is low in boron. Previous attempt at a fertiliser
trial in this area gave a slight indication of some boron
response. Also, this plot was to have been irrigated considerably more than the normal irrigation practice. There
is some very good evidence that part of the difficulty with
barley production in this area is the fact that the crop is
not irrigated frequently enough.
(2) Dryland Grain Trials
One in the heno Area testing for the first time the fertilizer req4rements in that area. Nitrogen, phosphorous and
sulfur are included in this trial.
One dryland graih fertilizer in the north end of Poe Valley.
This is in the area adjacent to Swan Lake.
(3) Duck Soil
One in Warner Valley in Lake County. This trial is to test
the need for nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium and the minor
elements. This is the first tirde a fertilizer trial has been
conducted by the experiment station in Harper
Times on Lower Klamath Experimental Area. One of these on
Lower Klamath Experimental Area is designed to determine the
length of tame an application of phosphate mill last. It is
also designed to test the effectiveness of the various rates.
It is a long term trial, which will run for eight years. One
of these three on Lower Klamath is a replanting on the 1953
experimental plots in which the various sources hi phosphate
fartiliser were tested. The third plot is one testing phosphorehs with and without various combinations of the minor
elements - copper, manganese and zinc - on both oats and barley.
-
One experimental plot on the Williamson River Delta area. This
is a long term plot designed to test the length of time which
an application of phosphate will last and also to test the
effectiveness of various rates. This plot was originally
started in 1c)53, but had to be abandoned because the phosphate
fertilizer wnicn was used was one which carries a considerable
portion of zinc impurities. This could not be toisrated on
/
this experiment since it is suspected that minor elements
- may be low, or, in the very near future, may be a limiting
factor.
Potato Fertilizer Trial
One in the Merrill area - a partial factorial testing rates
of nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium.
In addition a few miscellaneous treatments will be tested one potato trial in the Henley area testing only rates of
phosphorous, in addition to the regular potato fertilizer
which is applied to the field.. High rates aC phosphate were
tested on this soil because of difficulties this particular
farmer is having in bringing his production up to expected
levels. There are indications that the phosphate levels nay be
fairly low for the plants even though the soil does not test
extremely low in phosphorous.
Alfalfa Fertilizer Trials
An attempt is being made to direct some of the fertility work
for this coming year towards the forage crops. Three alfalfa
fertilizer trials have been established:
-
One in an irrigated area near the Experiraent Station
One on the dryland soils near Olene
One in an irrigated area near Malin
These trials are designed mainly to test rates of phosphorous
with possibly one or two treatments testing for the need for
potash and sulfur.
Clover Fertilizer rg r i s
One clover fertilizer trial in the Spring Lake area. Only
one trial is planned for this year because much yet needs to
be learned regarding means and methods of handling the harvesting of the clover plots. A new plot combine is -available
this year and will be tried on the clover plots. If this
works satisfactory it is planned, that more extensive clover
fertilizer trials can be started in another year.
1-1
Native Mountain Pasture s
One near Fort Klamath. This is a continuation of the 1953
plot to obtain some information on the length of time that a
fertilizer application on those soils will be of any benefit.
Only nitrogen is applied this year. No additional phosphorous
or potassium has been applied.
Miscellaneous Trials
One hay fertilizer trial on improved, meadows in the Bly Area.
One fertilizer trial on the newly established pasture in Poe
Valley area.
B. Laboratory Studies .
It is planned that for this year more extensive laboratory
work will be carried on with barley to study the effect of
fertilizer on malting quality. Protein determinations will
be run on barley samples Prom thedifferent fertilizer plots.
Protein determinations will also be rUn on samples collected
from the pasture fertilizer plots.
Analysis of soils -samples Prom experimental plots will be
carried on again this year, and it is hoped that some analysis
can be made for some of the minor elements. This soil testing
will be done, for the most part, by the soil testing laboratory at Corvallis. On most of the samples the usual tests for
phosphorous and potash will be made. On some selected samples
analysis will,again be made for calcium and magnesium, and on
still others analysis will be made for boron and some for
sodium.
C.
Greenhouse studies
it has been planned that some greenhouse trial on barley and
oats using various combinations of phosphate and the minor
elements would be tried- It was planned that this mould provide plant material for chemical analysis from Which data
could be obtained on the relative concentrations of the various minor elements at deficient and -sufficient levels. After
cilcussing this problem With several workers in this particular
field, the evidence that this approach moo not too fruitful was
so strong that the plen.. was dropped. The main objection raised
to such an approach was that it would be nearly impossible to
keep the growing plants free from contamination with minor
element impurities. Nevertheless, to make sure such a potentially good means of studying the minor element problem would
not work, a ffpilot plant" size experiment was set up. See
"iscilsion of Results" for outcome of experiment and general
arrangement of treatments etc.

III. Irrigation Project.
An irrigation project was started this year in an attempt to obtain
more precise information on the effect of the addition of nitrogen
fertilizers on the yield and quality of barley under controlled irrigation practices. Field experiments which have been conducted in the
past throughout the area on_farmersi fields have been subjected to
such a wide range of irrigation practices that precise information
on the actual effect of the nitrogen itself cannot be determined.
Since the effect that nitrogen fertilizer has on crop production is
so closely related and tied in with soil moisture supply, it is es- sential to have controlled moisture conditions to obtain accurate
and reliable information,
The second reason for establishing this irrigation experiment is to
determine"the effect of nitrogen fertilizers and irrigation practices,
and the interaction of these two, on the malting quality of barley.
In general it appears that the malting quality of barley has fallen
since the large increase in the use of nitrogen fertilizer has taken
place. This decrease in quality is mainly the increased protein content which occurs in barley that has been fertilized.
A.
Field Experiments
A block of land on the main station was selected as the site
for the irrigation experiment. The field selected was about
the most uniform field on the entire station. There were to
be four rates of nitrogen fertilizer tried - 0-30-60-90
pounds of actual nitrogen - and three rates of irrigation.
All four of the nitrogen rates would be included in each of
the three rates of irrigation. The rates of irrigation were
to be determined on a basis which would leave the plants
growing under approximately low, medium, and high moisture
conditions. These plots are to be twelve feet wide and approximately sixty feet long. There were to be three reps. -$
one behind the other. A ditch is to be put in across the
head end of these plots. The plots are to be diked so that
water could be plied with little run-off permitted. The
dikes are to be 2L feet apart, permitting two plots in each
diked area. Water is to be measured onto this diked area by
means of syphon tubes. With the aid of known laws of hydrau-
lics the amount of water applied can then te quite simply determined.
B.
Testing of Field Moisture Indicators.
To help determine when to irrigate to obtain the three different rates of water which were previously mentioned, field devices for rapid soil moisture references were installed. These
were the gypsum stakes, which are manufactured by the Rayturn
Corporation of Portland. An arbitrary scale of meter readings
to obtain these rates were to be determined by the staff members at Corvallis, who had previously worked with the soil
moisture determining devices. These soil moisture devices in
the past have given good results in experimental work which
has been carried on at Oregon State College. It was felt that
these same devices should work in this irrigation experiment.
There is only one likely reason that these stakes will not
work in these soils, and that is the possibility of soluble
salts in the soil. However, this has been checked with the
Solu Bridge and the salt content has been found to be very low:
Laboratory Studies,
Some work with these soils will be _carried on with the aid
of the pressure membrane apparatus. The tenth atmosphere
and the fifteenth atmosphere levels of moisture WL 11 b e determined, together with possibly other levels between these two
extremes to determine the soil moisture held at various tensions.
