LtGE, Corvallls. Jan. 3. (Special.)
"The 57 varieties of a famous pickle
manufacturer's products total just
tSvo less than the number of commer
cial varieties of wheat grown in Ore-
" Ron." This statement was made by
Professor G. R. Hyslop. of the college
'farm crops department. In a meeting
I h of farmers' week wheat growers re-
cently. There are 69 varieties grown
;" in Oregon on a commercial basis.
I ; Thfs number of varieties includes
I several different types of wheat. In
,. i ' the hard red spring class they are
; f Marquis. Preston, Red Fife. Early
' - Java, Minnesota No. 169 or Minnesota
bluestem, Huston or Early Wonder
wheat and Scotch Fife. Hard winter
j , varieties include Turkey red or Cri
mean, Kanred or Beloglina, red Wtn
'(' , ter or Triplet, Jones" Fife or Bur
.1 ' lank Super or Crail Fife, red Rus
t sian, Kinney or Surprise or Odessa
I . .or Noah Island, big English or Clan-
; field, true Odessa, Miracle, Rural New
' Yorker, Stoner, Poole, Golden Crown,
5; " red Chaff and Cox red Crown.
I - White Varieties Numerous.'
Common white varieties consist of
Kortyfold, Sonora, Pacific bluestem,
Federation, Rink, Early Baart, Gal-
5 galos, Dicklow, Defiance, white Wln
; ter; Eaton Webb, Challenge white,
, Foise or Red or Golden Chaff, Prohl-
j. . "bition or "Prohi," Karun, Wasco
) County: Hybrid, "Queen Wilhelmina,
Durum and Aulieta or unidentified
.Durum.
v v " Among the white club varieties are
I hybrids No. 128, No. 143, No. 123, No.
J 163. red chaff Club, Dale's Gloria,
Coppei, little Club, crook neck Club,
big Club. Salt Lake Club. Jenkins'
', ' Club, blue chaff Club, early Wilbur.
"t Poulard wheats graded as white Club,
'. Seven-headed, also known as Alaska
or Miracle or Mummy. Titanic, Clack
amas Wonder and Polish.
"There are 59 varieties in all, and
i undoubtedly there are several more
V that have not been listed," declared
i, ' Mr. ' Hyslop, after reading this long
i. , list of Oregon-grown wheats. "Min-
f ' . - neaota Wonder, as several have prob
'. , ably noticed, has been left out. This
'". la because this wheat is only a mlx
.", ' ture consisting of Kinney. Huston and
Defiance."
Mixed Wheat Marketed.
- With the aid of a, map of Oregon
' j showing the parts of - Oregon where
the more important varlties are
grown, the speaker told some inter
,,' estlng facts about how' the state fell
heir to so many varieties. Some of
them had been Introduced by ship
ments from seed companies, some by
immigrants from foreign countries,
others by selection and development
from already existing varieties and
still others by introduction by the
various experiment stations of the
northwest.
"What is the effect of all these va
rieties on the marketing of wheat in
Oregon?" queried Mr. Hyslop, after
telling of the divisions of the state
with regard to varieties.
"The fact Is that a very large part
of our wheat goes into the market
as mixed wheat. Many of the varie
ties are of such quality that they
grade Into the lower grades of wheat
and because of this, together with the
mixture, command a low price.
"Experiments have been conducted
with many of the varieties and in
the belief of the college the yield of
wheat In Oregon would be greatly In
creased if 60 out of the 60 varieties
were dropped."
Concentration la Advined.
The Willamette, valley should con
centrate on FolBe and White Winter,
using the latter on well-drained lands
and Foise on heavy and flat lands,
making these the winter varieties and
using only Defiance and Huston for
spring planting. This would result in
the harvesting of more bushels of bet
ter wheat. Mr. Hyslop said.
Southern Oregon should use Turkey
Red and White Winter for fall plant
ing and Early Baart and Red Fife for
spring planting. For the Columbia
basin, beginning with western Uma
tilla county and Including Morrow,
Gilliam, Sherman, Jefferson and most
of Wasco, Turkey Red la undoubtedly
the best variety. On some of the
more humid Wasco lands Hybrid 128
is desirable.
Turkey Red Is the variety for Wal
lowa dry lands and Marquis for the
irrigated parts of that county. Forty
fold, Turkey Red and Red Chaff Club
comprise the list for Union county,
although Hybrid 138 may sometime
become an important variety there.
In Southeastern Oregon, including
the high, dry areas, Turkey Red for
winter and Early Baart for spring are
the best types. For Irrigated areas
generally Forty-fold and Hybrid 128
are desirable for fall planting and
Red Chaff Club and Marquis for
spring planting.
. Mr. Hyslop ended his talk by a de-
; acrlption of a few of the new wheats
which show promise and by enjoln
ing his hearers to help to secure com-
j m unity standardization of wheat varieties.

"THE BUSHER"
FHANCE AWAITS STUDENTS

CAST FOR 192 0.
University Union Headquarters in
r Paris Prepares to Advise
Knowledge Seekers.
PARIS. Dec. 16. Next year is likely
to see a great influx of American stu
dents to French universities. In the
opinion of H. S. Krans, secretary of
the American University Union in
Europe. Mr. Krans" new Paris head
quarters, facing the Luxembourg gar
dens, are being fitted up to receive
and advise seekers after knowledge
from overseas.
Founded shortly after America's en
trance in the war, by 15 of the lead
ing American universities and col
leges, the union now has 33 American
learned Institutions on Its member
ship list, including Harvard, Tale. Co
lumbia, Johns Hopkins. Princeton and
other leading universities and col
leges throughout the "United States.
"Paris Is destined to -become the
brain of the world.," said Mr. Krans
to a correspondent of the Associated
Press. "German universities will be
largely avoided by Americans. Dog
ged determination was shown by one
young New York student who arrived
here with the problem how to board
and live on 6 francs a day. Through
the medium of the union a French
landlady gave him a small room for
2 francs a day. The young man cooks
his own meals, and is 'passing rich
on four francs a day."
French teachers and students are
constant and eager inquirers at the
union's Paris home. Many of them
are anxious to take a course of studies
in the United States. Fourteen
French students already are study
ing in American universities on free
scholarships from a fund collected
by 6000 American students In recog
nition of the hospitality extended to
them by French universities during
the war.
The Society for American Fellow
ships in French Universities is plan
ning to send 20 Americans each year
to the Sorbonne and other French
seats of learning; nor will the Alsa
tian university of Strasburg be neg
lected. Twenty-flve scholarships for
American girls In France already are
filled.
