Deschutes county'ii acreage of po tatoes this year will bo the greatest In the county's history, according to D. L. Jamison, county agriculturist. Last year 2,000 acres were planted to potatoes. This year nearly S00 acres more will bo grown. Most of tho crop Is already planted, and In some of tho fields tho potatoes aro already up. The alfalfa crop throughout the county Is excellent, says Jamison, ex cept where water could not be had when most needed. Near Iledmond particularly the stand is heavier than usual. Iinrlry Culture Urged Darley Is likely to become ono of Deschutes county's Important crops it plans ot the county agriculturist work out. He has imported for seed ing (his spring 3,200 bushels of Hanncben barley, a hardy, frost re sisting variety which is recommended for this section. Jnmison Is anxious that the experiment prove successful, as barley would greatly assist In the winter feeding of sheep, started dur ing the last winter by farmers In the county. It would also aid in solving the dairy cattle feeding problems. Very little barley has been grown here In tho past, says Jamison, but this variety should, it successful, stimulate interest In this crop. Sew Wheat Tried Another new crop being tried here for (he first time this year Is hard Federation wheat, a new variety orig inated in Australia. It Is hardy and frost resisting, and has dono well in Wallowa and Malheur counties, un der conditions similar to thoso that prevail here. Jamlson'had 100 bush els of this variety, and four bushels of ordinary Federation, sown this spring. One farmer In tho Terrebonne sec tion increased his yield from 17 to 34 bushels with Federation wheat last year.
