New Wheat Type
Held Up By Poor
Baking Results
Umi wheat, a new hvbrld de
veloped at the Pendleton branch
experiment station, will not be
released to growers, despite
many qualities ,hat made It seem
to be just what "the doctor order
ed" for eastern Oregon.
In commercial scale milling
and baking tests this fall, con
ducted by the Northwest. Crop
Improvement association, this
wheat passed milling require
ments in a satisfactory manner,
but failed to meet the baking
tests, according to Dr. D. D. Hi'l.
agronomist of the O. S. C. ex
periment station.
Because the wheat has so many
excellent qualities smut resist
ance, high yield, good fall growth
for erosion control, short straw,
and others it will be retain -d
for further breeding purposes,
said D. R. Hill. He said the policy
of the station Is not to release
any new variety until it is cer
tain to meet the needs of a given
area with no serious handicap.
Meanwhile many other new
hybrids are in test plots of the
experiment stations, some of
which appear highly promising,
but none have been tested long
enough to be ready for release
in the near future.

Mechanical Knocker
For Fruit Developed
i DAVIS. Calif. (.P The fruit
i picker's ladder is beginning t o
yield to a strange, threelecgeo.
self-propelled tower In California
orchards. Developed In cooper
ation with the State School of
Agriculture here. It enables a n
operator to pick two and a half
j tjmes as many apricots, peacnes,
i pears and prunes as with an or
dinary ladder.
It is now being tried out for
knocking prunes off the trees in
stead of picking them. The tower
carries an air-compressor which
operates a shaker that Jiggles the
daylights out of the tree
branches. It also will run a saw
or a trimmer or a primer. In the
prune-knocking operation the
tower is equipped with shields
that windrow the prunes as they
fall to the ground. There are
plans to fix It se they will drop
directly Into the boxes.

Blueberry Study
Promises New
Oregon Industry
Possibilities for the develop
ment of blueberries in to an im
portant Oregon speciality crop
continued to show promise' during
the past season at the O. S. t'.
agricultural experiment station
w here an expanded program on
bluobei l ies is underway.
Research to date indicates that
the highbush blueberry can he
grown successfully In the Will
amette valley and In other re
gions with comparable climate
and soil conditions. Essential re
oulrements seem to he a good
moisture supply and good aera
tion in the topsoil.
Several new varieties show
promise in selection tests but
have not been tested sufficiently
to Justify recommendation for
planting. Of the older varieties.
Jersey, Stanley and Concord arc
recommended in that order. Jer
sey, while not an ideal varietv,
Is vigorous and productive with
fruit of good size and shipping
qualltv.
Fertilizer trials show that lib
eral applications of nitrogen are
needed for best growth, with one
half pound of ammonium sul
fttte per plant suggested for
spring application in a younc
planting. Cross pollination, while
not absolutely essential, has been
found beneficial in trials.
Berry production begins t h e
second or third year and should
continue to increase each year
for about 10 years. Local mar
kets are now absorbing Oregon's
small production but the berry
likely will he used in processing
if production continues to
increase.
