SAYS MR. HALL
Potatoes And Grain But Half A Crop
Owing To Dry Spell—Prospects
For Beans Good.
County Agricultural Agent, S. B.
Hall, was in Lents Wednesday and
made this office a pleasant call. Mr.
Hall is actively and efficiently looking
after the agricultural interests of this
county and is thoroughly conversant
with conditions. He, with other county
agents of the State, met in Portland
last week to submit a report of condi
tions in their respective counties to
Carl Vrooman and it developed that be
cause of the continued dry spell the
potato and grain crops of the state will
only yield about 50 per cent. The pros
pect for beans is fairly good. The
acreage set to beans in Multnomah
County this year is greatly in excess of
anything ever before attempted. The
impression has prevailed that extensive
growing of beans was not practicable in
this section since a late, dry Fall was
essential to the maturity of the crop.
However experiments during the last
two or three years have resulted so suc-
sessfuliy as to greatly encourage in
creased attention to the cultivation of
this profitable crop.
A representative
from the famous Heinz factories who
was in Portland and the surrounding
country in the Spring contracting for
beans stated that the beet lieans re
ceived at their plant were shipped from
Portland and were grown locally. He
stated in this connection that the pos
sibilities of this section for growing
Is-ans for seed wen* practically limit
less.
Mr. Hall was assisting in the final
arrangements for the yearly Field Day
at Gresham on Saturday. A splendid
program has been prepared, full an-
nouncement of which appears in
another column of this issue.
