FARM SUCCESS IS TOLD WALTER PIERCE, POLITICIAN, OK GRAND RON'DE, IS VISITOR. Eastern Oregon Crops Are Reported Among; Best In History and Advice on Using Land Given. A man who counts his farm lands by the quarter section, his cattle and his hogs by the hundred, his bushels of wheat by the thousands and his tons of hay by the hundred, is Walter Pierce, successful Grand Ronde farmer, and erstwhile Democratic candidate for United States Senator, who was in Portland yesterday. Mr. Pierce has one of the. best farms in the Grand Ronde Valley, and he is one of Eastern Oregon's most success ful farmers. He reports the Eastern Oregon crops this year among the best in history. , His own farm produced 26.000 bushels of wheat. 10.000 bushels of barley, 5000 bushels of oats and 1500 to 2000 -tons of hay. He is grazing 1000 head of cattle and feeding the same number of sheep. Mr. Pierce believes in diversified farm ing. As an indication of Mr. Pierce's suc cessful farming methods is the fact that some of his wheat ran as high ad 50 bushels an acre, while his average was 33 bushels. His barley averaged 60 bushels. "I don't believe in raising hogs ex cept as a by-product on the t'xrm," sa'-d Mr. Pierce yesterday. "Every farm should have enough hogs, though, to consume the waste. But to go into the hograising business on an exten sive scale as an industry is in inself a mistake." L. R. Alderman, J. A. Churchill and B. W.
