These specials ists are authors of a new bulletin covering these crops issued sj experiment station bulletin No. 425. J Japanese barnyard millet became a popular pasture ana grain feed crop along the dairy sections of the coast extending from CoJ I lumbin and Clatsop counties south through Curry, the bulletin) shows. Sudan grass, sorghums, proso and foxtail millet are adopt- ed to the Willamette valley and southern Oregon, irrigated sections ol Malheur county and certain sections along the Columbia river Use of sudan grass is increasing more rapidly than use of mil-J lets and sorghums, the authors point out, while further increased production for forage is warranted particularly for summer pas- tre. In 1944 total acreuge had increased to approximately 24,000k of which about 4,000 acres were harvested for seed. Production of Japanese barnyard millet has declined along the4 coast in recent years largely us the result of the substitution 06 seed of the weedy barnyard millet or "water grass" for seed ou the genuine Japanese barnyard millet, the authors state. A secondj factor was the introduction of other higher yielding and more" widely adapted forage crops. i The bulletin discusses seed bed preparation for this group of! crops, losses from rodents and birds, diseases and insect pests and! the best adapted varieties with recommended culture.
