In order to help the movement along the steps taken a few years' ago to. will be followed. Small experimental tracts of an acre or more will he urgd as a beninning:, anil seed will be ob tained for the farmers by the railroad company. A campaign for extensive rye plant ing by Oregon farmers, particularly those of the semi-arid districts of the i interior, similar to the corn campaign waged so successfully in former years, has been undertaken by C. I. Smith, Tietter known as "Karnier" Smith, agri culturist for the o.-W. K. & N. Com pany. Traffic Manager Robinson is in terested in the movement and will back up the plan Willi all the resources of Jlis department. "Rye is an excellent substitute for vhfat and corn," said .Mr. Robinson, "and in the present crisis it is impera tive that every bushel of these latter frrains be conserved as food for the sillies and our soldiers in the field. "The call to farmers of the state to plant rye is a patriotic one, and all who ran sow rye are urged to do so. We will undertake to get seed for them and pive instructions that will assure success." Food Value Hlch. "The food value of a bushel of rye, as compared with a bushel of wheat or corn, is practically identical," said Mr. Smith. "The value of growing: rye is that it can be grown successfully on land in the interior with an aver age rainfall of less than 15 inches in a. season. "Not only that, but rye is hardy and will grow at a lower temperature than -wheat, will mature on soil with less organic materials than will other cereals, and it requires less moisture. As a substitute for wheat it is excel lent. "There are 100,000 acres in the In ferior well adapted for growing rye. This, too, without much soil prepara tion. Sagebrush land, disked and har rowed a bit and sown to rye, will as sure a good crop, running from 15 to 20 Dushels an acre. With grains selling at high prices, and rye also In the list of high-cost foodstuffs, this taught to prove attractive to the farm ers, so they can utilize their waste lands for rye growing. Teat Already Made. "That rye can be grown successfully In the interior is already demonstrated. Slany farmers are growing it for hay, put what we need is for It to be ma tured into grain. "Canada produced 2.000,000 bushels of rye last year. In Kastern Oregon we can produce 2,000,000 bushels of rye fn a season and not interfere In the least with the present wheat acreage." The necessity of a rye campaign to produce a cereal that shall take the place of wheat to a large extent Is emphasized by the traffic officials, and it is urged that farmers take early steps wherever possible to put In Kail seedinfts. Mr. Smith has been out over the territory urging this plan, but aa IRVIIMGTON CLUB GROWING Membership Commitcte Under J. Jj.
