FOUR-HUNDRED DOLLARS AN
ACRE PROFIT IN BROCCOLI
This Was Extreme, Unusual and from a Very Small Acreage,
in the. Roseburg District; But It Shows What May Be
Done with AH Conditions Right .
Editor Statesman: The edit6r has
asked me to write something uhout
"methods, markets 'and .profits con
nected with' the broccoli industry of!
fcouinern ureson. I have been inter
eatd in and taken quite an active
part In the industry since Its begin
ning in the Umpqua Valley some
eight ; years ago-and - feel safe in
claiming that I am commencing to
- understand "a tw of the factors
which are required In making, or this
crop a commercial success.
Good, well-drained soil is the first
essential in the opinion of most
. growers, but hiy opinion is that good
seed should take precedence over all.
for without a proved strain of seed
success will be very uncertain. The
tirst crops produced here were from
i mper ted seed and for several years
growers were led to believe that Ore
gon grown seed was worthless. Dnr
- ing the war this imported seed de
. elined so in quality that numerous
growers were forced to grow their
v own seed and the. 'result has been
some, excellent . strains of broccoli.
purlng 1919 I put out 23 acres of
broccoli and, not anticipatingmy re
quirements, was compelled to buy
.. seed from several sources.-The crop
. which la now being harvested shows
a wide variation In product, ranging
;all the way from, the worthless trai
. . from" some strains to "perfect heads
from my own select seed and that of
,.. one other careful grower. During the
summer 1919 we saved quite a patch
of our fanciest beads especially for
, lseed and harvested a liberal crop
; from It, prizing it so highly that we
. . sent It over to Our bankers for safe
.keeping.-. We expect to plant about
. the sameutcreage this season as last,
and it Is certainly a pleasure to be
able to eliminate, this risk in getting
. pure seed ot high' quality. Since it
, requires 5u0t plants '.to set an acre,
'so small a proportion ten per cent
- of bad plants will make a difference
-s ;of approximately 30 crates at har-
vest time not to mention the labor
of planting and 'cultivating a worth
w. less portion of the crop.
It pays to thoroughy prepare the
land for the crop. .My plowing and
harrowing last season were done with
-tractor and the work is far superior
to horse-drawn implements. Prior to
. the bad weather of mid-December we
. had the-most promising crop ever
grown , 1b this section. 4
v.l believe in early setting for the
. following reasons: More moisture is
available for the plant m establish

similar crops. I shall not go 'into de
tails, merely mentioning that we

setting ,the plants in the" field the
middle of June.
Now as to markets and profits.
While the majority ot Roseberg
growers belong to a fruit union ami
market their .crops' through that or
ganization. I have always managed to
sell f. o. b. on a cash basis at satis
factory prices and expect to continue
on those lines; as I believe It is better
than to risk delays in transit and
fluctuations in prices upon receipt of
the goods in market
J must alraiTt
that it is quite a handicap to buy
crates and other supplies independ
entlyT also to .load cars with only a
few. small independent growers as
sisting you. bat I believe the cash
plan is the better one,- And evidently
union members are of same opinion,
as it is currently reported that, they
have sold -the present crop for casjt
instead of "shipping, on commission as
formerly. , .
Profits depend. upon the 'man, the
seed. -the soil, the weather, and the
market. Results in tne.past show." re
turns from from less than ',2ero to
about per acr the latter be
ing extreme? . unusual and from a
very small acreage, the work all be
ing done without help outside the
family. Experienced growers with
best of land and small acreage clear
around $200 In average reasons. In
larger crops where home labor cuts
but little flgnre in keeping down ex-!

Concerning the success of the crop
r - - - .v . ,
in other sections. 1 ahve but little in
formation 'upon which to baseman
opinion. Professor A. G. li. Bouquet
Of the O. A. C. has given the broc
coli industry much attention and
study and his opinion should be
worth while.
But since some" small successes
have been reported. I see no reason
why larger ones are not possible.-If
you have some good, fertile, well
drained soil and think yon would
like this broccoli busineess, my sug
gestion is: Get some good seed and
try it out. If it proves a success and
your neighbors will join with you in
producing 30 or 40 acres so you can
conveniently load cars, it will be easy
to sell for cash at home. My buyer
has never been able to get as many
cars as he desired. The Roseburg
section has adopted the standard
pony crate, finding it much better
than the old style which was not a

BROCCOLI GROWING
IN GENERAL
(Continued frmn pae 1 ) t
broccoli figuring on the latter jjto

aWer the kale was gone. 'jj
l!ut we are wandering a way some
what from the intended discussion
ff the i-rop at, this time of the yfar.
This is. harvesting feeason and up to
th, present time the weather has
been very favorable for lhe harvest
ing of the heads. One disagreeable
(hing aloiit broccoli harvesting in
many. springs is the tramping of the
ground while it In quite watersoaked
from the winter's rains and this i
hard on most any soil except the
liehter sandy loams, lint this year
tly soil' Is unusually dry and it'look
. c if tho vrttHcintr nn lh irrniinri at
utting time is going to do less harm
than nsnal
1 While broccoli is a hardy vegetable
and stands lots of cold weather the
heads will not stand to- be frozen la
the field when they have formed nor
will they stand abuse by careless
and dirty handling in cutting, pack
ing or otherwise. Here is a. hi?h
class and high-pricc-d vegetable for
which on eastern markets as high 3
4,0 cent's is paid for a head. On the
local markets of the ..Northwest oncM
mign consoer o no cents q. soyy
price for a Xo. l head. If. the grow
er is going to get hls top prtce" there
fore, it is necessary tba't the handl-
ing'be careful and such as to.elimin
ate bruises and blemishes. And yet.
just the same, there are bundreds'or
broccoli heads that are . handled as
if they were onions or bricks. Some
of the methods which were used by
powers.- most of them foreigners,
last year in and around Portland in
handling the heads after cutting was
a crime and a distinct loss to the In
dustry because a lot Of the stuff' was
being shipped out as Oregon broccoli
that was not worthy of the name.
The Douglas county growers have
prided themselves on a distinctly
good, and uniform pack and it is a
shame Tor it to be spoiled by the
poor stuff r frpm other sections, for
In the East and Middle West it is
all sold as Oregon broccoli.
The point that 1 am trying to
make is that this vegetable, because
of its worth and scarcity in. other
;jarts of the country, is deserving of
the greatest care when it comes to
everything connected with the har
vesting and -marketing of the crop.
Cut the I lends IWore They Get
Over-r1;e.
There is a tendency -among some
to leave the head3 in the field loo
long before they are cut. This is
done, some say. to let the head get

is beginning to separate and when
th.it starts the head will not have
the carrying 'ability that it has wh-n
the turd is. absolutely ilid anl
ehows .no sign of dividing. . I have
seen, so many ciates or stuff that
vf as -overripe that I feel that ih't
s one thing that must be corrected
to get trie greatest value out of the
crop If it I.? to be shipped a long
dlslaiice.
The "older the beads the quicker
they will slrfink and the greater th.i
Fhrinkape. It would be lu-tter to cut
a head a "little u m I raized and hav-j
the ntiil perfectly solid and whi'e
than to leave it k a lntle long-r so
thai it w;s Lrgr and yet not :;n
sol id J I have rUHlinied bonatid
tests alonf; this line with act tut!
weighings of all kinds of heads an-l
th above i a" summary in a nut
shell. -
A large sharp butcher knife i n?ed
in severing the head from the plant
so a' to leave enough leaves on 'o
form a goorl picket. Knowh of the
top part of the leaves of the jacket
shoujd le left on also to fully protect
the head as if goes from the fiold to
the packing shed. Growers vary in
the kind of. a crate in which to have
the heads hauled in. some uitig the
old-fashioned two-dozen crates, and
others the flat crates as is used for
marketing the cixp. Care should, be
taken in jroing over the field not :o
miss any head? that are fn the right
condition to be cut as they would
be too old the nest time of cutting. .
Following the hauling Of the heads
to the packing house they should be
trimmed at each end so as to get
each approximately the same length
in order to have a pack in the crate
that is- uniform la height. Here's'
where "there 4s. often some bruising
of the-top part of J he head, and 1

presumably, but nevertheless it cuO
that head out of "grade No. 1 and
possibly No. 2.
;mlipg -Is ImKrtant.
Grading should be based on the
ripeness or Folidity Of the heads,
their color and size. I, consider
these the important points in the
order named, although there is in
reality no more important point thin
color. A nice green jacket, too, is
very essential. The dealer in the
market wants something nice and
geeh attached to the head and could
Fell a head somewhat blemished with
a igreen jacket often for, a better
price than an unblemlshej! head with
a" poor jacket. ' Strict grading is Im
perative ra.ther than an attempt at
the same. Nothing should be sl'ppvd
in with the idea th-t it will get over
looked. It may be the very crate
that gets the closest inspection.
In community marketing of this
crop inspection is essential in order
that the grading. pack and loading
be ' uniform. ! Otherwise the ship
ments will be such they cannot be
guaranteed
The crate moct widely used Is Ihe
flat one-tier crate holding from
elsht to if heads, depnding in their
size and the manner of packing. The
pack should be solid, tight, but not
so solid that there will have', to be
force -used tdi get the last head in
as is sometime done In an attempt
to get a tight crate. The rubbing
of the sides of the heads will then
be doing 'moTe harm .than if the pack
wete a little looser. The bruises
which show up from such work; do
not appear "under the eyes of the
grower but the man handling the
crate at the other end. I have kept
in, cold storage for this "purpose,
therefore, crates of various kinds
which have been packed in various
ways to find out the actual value' of
the broccoli in the different crates.
Keepliyr Qualities of HojmIs IMffer
Widely According 'to Maturity.
One would be surprised at the very
great difference between the length
of time that different heads keep in
good condition after being cut. Un
der identical conditions some heads
will keep in a cool place as long as
two weeks without showing hardly
any riras of depreciating, while oth
ers will begin to go down two or
three days after. In every case,
however, it Is the head which looks
a little older that begins to go down
the first.
More Farmers Should Plant Rroccolf
for Their Own Personal Use.
There undoubtedly should be more
of this, good substantial Vegetable on
the rarms of this western country.
The value of the heads for the table
and the feeding value of the leaves
make tor two strong points in favor
of planting this crop. The plants
are eaay to grew and handle just as
reaatiy, as kale plants. The sop
should be normally good fertile loarn
benefited, of course, by manorial ap
plications. . . Rarely.- If ever, is the
crop injured tosuch an extent by
the winter that It-is valueless in the
spring.
It I Too Kenrly Vet to Plant.
The best time to sow the seed of
broccoli is during the' earjy part of
May and In some cases it is possible
to plant even in -June, but the bulk
of the transplanting to the garden
fchould be done in early Julyi about
the lime that the summer rains are
on. There used to be typical July

to a long ppell or dry weather;

that it is the best paying crop
grown in l)ongtas ronnt?.
Kven bur prunes, notwithstanding
the high prices of the past two cr
three years, can not compete with
this crop as. a money maker.
This .year the entire ofttput of the
I'mp'tua Valley has been Stold. to one
New York firm for $1.7 a crate ti
I. b.' Uoseblllg. - . I
We. have adopted the California
pony crate as the one bst adapted
to this crop. This eratifr measures
hy 24 inches and 4s Id 1-2 inches
high, and from 8 .to 2tjj heads are
placed in a crate. Alii the green
"jacket", surrounding' thehead is re
tained. In order not. only to protect
the flower", but also hWa use the
green appearance of the leaves helps
the retailer to dispose ofjjthe heads.
People who are from, tlut east caa
realize what it means forjthe house
wife to see these green leaves when
the snow is. still on the 4ro,,nl and
n neips to sell the product.
It Feem to the writer! that broc
coli would be a great crbp for the
average dairyman to grow as part of
his winter forage crop. t The trim
mings from the-plant arf richer n
protein than kale and mke almost
rts much feed per plant. , Care must
he taken, however, to fked these
trimmings aTter milking, as too much
broccoli will taint thevJnilk. The
dairyman aLo has the requisite man
ure to grow the crop successfully.
. Experiments have been made with
the trimmings as ensjlage and Jt ha.
been 'round, that about 50 per cent of
Ft raw must be added, as the broccoli
leaves contain tofe much water to be
placed in a silo alone.
This year, owing to the drouth last
summer, Douglas county will only
produce in the neighborhood or 40
cars or this vegetable. Two years
ago we marketed "90 cars and the dis
tributors at! that time told me that
they could have as easily marketed
100ft cars.
W'lth our canneries, as I said be
fore, there Is no reason to expect an
oyer production or this crop, and
Oregon should be growing at least
.Vooo cars.- Shippings the best or it
to eastern markets and canning the
smaller and imperrect heads. The
canneries, however, require a goodt
head In order to place a .good article
npon the market.
When the growing or broccoli be
comes more general, it means a
lengthened period 'or. our canneries
to operate arid also means that we
have broadened the market or labor
season ror our farm help.
With the enormous acreage being
plsnied In Oregon to small fruits and
berries and the mighty host or hands
it will soon require to gather these
crops, it behoove3 us to broaden our
seasonable . work In order that we
may give work over as long a period
or the year as possible. Hroccoll.
however, require relatively rew peo
ple to handle tTe crop or several
acres. Five people can easily take
care or the harvesting or rive to 10
acres, as the plants head unevenly
and the harvesting - season extends
over a period or about two weeks.
DR. C. II. HAILEY.
(In a private letter to the editor.
Dr. Railey said: "For the past five
or six years I have devoted a consid
erable part of my time In the culture
of broccoli seed, with the result thit
last shipping season our ' broccoli
pached out 95 per cent No. 1. Ihe
highest score of any one shipping
through the local union. The crop
netted ns last year $250 an acFe."
In a. later private letter, Dr. Uailey
confirms Ttis statement as to the
length Of the broccoli harvest. He
says: "While, even In a large acreage
a few boxes may be gathered along
for a period or three or rbur weeks,
the main crop will be harvested In
a period not to exceed two weeks."

which means $1750 ;prom to the

So you can - see she is worth
$1500.
I would not take the $1000 for

The seed Is put down usually In
May In plant beds with the calcu
lation ot transplanting sometime- in
July or August to the field. The
later planting has the greatest vital
ity for going through a hard winter,
although the heads are usually small
er, which makes it very problemati
cal as to Just when to plant for the
best, success.
That Is something for the grower
to figure out according to the cli
mate, soil, etc.. which he has to con
tend with. But wherever grown
there are certain types of plants on
which all growers usually agree.
That is. very short stems. ' smooth,
green leaves of no yellowish tint, and
an abundance of . foliage over the
heads, so that nothing is fee -ot
them until a day before cutting time,
which keeps them white and insnres
against light frost as well as' furn
ishing protection for shipping. While
a bad climate can easily destroy a
crop or broccoli, a good climate alone
will not make a crop unless the grower-
does his part. Weeds have.no
place among broccoli. Soil should be
rich for spring forcing, so that the
plants will take on rapid growth as
soon as the warm spring weather
opens up; otherwise heads will be
small and exposed to the weather so
long, on account ot lack of covering
foliage, that thev will taV nn
