More and More

have a lot of wheat and oats, and
barley and rye and other grains.
And there will be more and more
acres, and more and more to the

by new land being cleared, and by

The 1925 harvest of grain will;
soon be completed, and with it
and the experimental data and
field observations during the past
few. years a number of excellent
lessons In production can be
drawn. ; October. 1024. - usually
the most important sowing month
for western Oregon, was an unus
ually wet one. v Much of the nor
mal fall grain. sowing was delay
ed until November; and some of
it was "sown In December. This
rather late sowing of the fall
&rain, coupled with the disastrous
ly hard, cold spell in December,
resulted in the killing of a great
many of the fields of winder grain-
in the Willamette valley.
V Winter Killing Data
In some sections the killing was
absolutely complete, but there are
a number of places where the kill
ing was only partial. It appears
that the winter killing was affect
ed by:
; ( 1 ) The presence of some snow
rover, and so from Corvallis south
snd from the Willamette river at
there was snow and not very murh
winter killing.
(2) Varieties had much to do
with the amount of. winter killing.

10 and 11, have decided to. keep
"open house" In Victory hall for
one day, and have set September
8 for the display of exhibits which
will be accumulated there for ex
hibition at the Polk county fair.
No admission will be charged for
this day, and. everyone Is invited
ablej'or" where Jhere Is danger oflto attend. It Is desired to gather
together as large a display as pos
sible. The commlttee in charge
has labored under many handicaps
-illness, lack of funds, and the
fact that no display has been
made, either at home or at the
county or state fairs, for several
years, making the collection and
arrangement of an exhibit very
difficult.
All residents of this community
are earnestly requested to cooper
ate in every way possible to make
this gathering a success. Falls
winter killing, that only the hard
lest varieties should be used. Of
these, probably the best Is White
Wniter. with Eaten and Holland
closely following. In sections
where the winter killing is not
likely to take place, Rink is very
similar in Its yields to White Win
ter, bat Jenkin Club is probably
a better yielder than any of the
others. "
(2) Of i the fall sown oats.
Grey Winter is the best in the
long run. and as hardy apparently
ties. It maintains an established
place in the market and is in good
demand. It will pay growers to
get good Grey Winter oats and
sow a considerable acreage of that
variety. The Grey oats has long
maintained an excellent place in
White Winter, Eaton and Queen 1 the oat milling market because of
as any 'other of the winter varie-ICity in years past has held some
memorable fairs, i Polk county
should have as fine a display at
the state fair as is shown by any
county in the state. This coun'.v
surely has the natural resources,
and the diversified interest- that
rill appeal to all classes. Lei's
all help.

ROM DEAN OF THE
FILBERT GROWERS
Wilhelmina (sometimes called
Holland wheat) -survived a great
deal better than did the more ten
der ones, like Rink, Foisy. Kinney,
and Jenkin Club and the winter
barleys and oats which are even
less hardy. Probably the best of
the commonly grown varieties of
the Willamette' valley wheats. In
winter survival was the White

good condition the winter survival
was better than where the soils
were not so well drained, or where

such that the plants could not be
vigorous and healthy. - - -
Unfavorable Conditions '
Following this rather bad win
ter, came a moist, cool spring, and
conditions seemed rather favor
able' for the early development of
the winter wheat. As a matter of
fact, the winter wheat of 1925 is
not up to normal, even In the
places not seriously affected by
the winter killing. The conditions

crs of the Valley;
(The following, 'by George A.
Dorris of Eugene, .the dean bf Ihe
,!bert growers cf the Willamette
valley, appeared ,ln the , Eugene
Register : kf- last Sunday, and it
lescnes careful reading by ..the
."armors of the Sa'.em district:)
The planting, of filbert orch
ards in the Willamette valley Is
not proceeding at the rate its im
portance: would seem" to Justify.
Under favorable conditions cer
tainlyi no mother orchard tree can
show more regular or more heavy
yields, and few if any can show a
greater J prof t . This statement
Is made after 24 years experience
in - growing filberts ; and - In com
parison with all the other: orch
ard 1 crops f that have come' under
the i writer's observation, or of
which he has had notice.
If this condition is true, why
is It that one . of the most promis
ing of our horticultural possibil
ities Is being so slowly; developed?
It is not because people do. not
want, to plant trees, for theyare
still planting certain. varieties
after .the saturation ; spoint, 1s,
known to have been' reached, and
are planting other varieties - ; In
great t numbers when that point
is only a few years distant, a fact
well . known to the trade and
viewed with genuine alarm' by
those in (charge of ' te selling
end. . ;-.-V:-': '
It is generally -conceded that
parts of Oregon and Washington
are the only places in the United
States where filberts' can be suc
cessfully grown. Is the slowness
to plant then due to a skepticism
about the regularity or size of the
I known as Hessian flies.
It appears that the so-called
foot rot is worse on ' soils that
were rather loose, as after a sod
of grass or clover, or where the
soils weref fn , rather poor condi-
(Contlnued oapnge 14.)'
Its large, plump kernels, thin
hulls, and excellent quality for
groat making purposes. ' It Is
probably our best feed oats.
(3) Winter .barley is a good
crop to grow on well drained
lands where . winter killing is not
severe. Winter barley of the O.
AJ C. No. 7 and the O. A. C
No. 38 strain has been distributed
in a number of districts. The O.
A. C 7; has been slightly the bet
ter yielder under fairly good con
ditions.: although it Is a trifle
weaker! strawed than No. 38. It
stand the average winter condi
tions ,very nicely and produces a
ni:e white, six-row barley. It baa
become very popular in recent
years and the acreage Is being in-
creared with considerable profit
to those who desire to grow It for
feeding purposes. O. A. C. No. 38
is probably a little better suited
to slightly wetter and heavier
land and, too, is an excellent yield
er of feed. It is not quite so good
a market barley, in that it has a
bluish-gray cast rather than the
whiter color of the O. A. C. No. 7.
Quite a good deal of O. A. C.
No. 7 barley froze out in the win
ter of 1924-5, but a number of
fields replanted in February gave
very good yields with the spring
planting. m
Spring tartrtlr
Of the , spring grains for the
Willamette valley .probably Hus-
tion. and in sm xase where they t6il Ja thB best TarIetT for tbe ra,r.
were not wettrdralned
Whether a cood packing of the
seed bed will assist in controlling
this trouble is not known but the
trouble seems worst where grow
ing conditions are poor.
In the case of the Hessian fltes.
the infestation on some of the
spring grain was remarkable.
Samples of spring sown spring
varieties, like Rink and Foisy were
sent in to the Oregon Agricultur
al college for examination which
behaved great deal like winter
wheat sown in the spring. There
was the thought that winter ratht
er than spring seed was planted
but it appears that the Hession
flies had killed the first 'stalk of
wheat that: was tent up, then the
plants developed some branches,
and these In turn had been killed,
and then a later set of branches
was sent out. which remained
ly heavy soils and for the red hill
soils. This is sometimes known
as Early Winder. 90-day, or grass
wheat, and is an excellent yield
ing wheat. Its- main fault is a
tendency . to shatter rather easily
if not harvested promptly.
Other varieties that show some
promise are Federation and Jen
kin Club.' These and Defiance
show particular . merit on mellow
soils and soils that are reasonably
rich.
Hani Federation Doubtful
Many other varieties are being
grown In the Willamette valley,
among them another Australian
wheat known as Hard Federation.
This has given very good -yields
this year under rather unfavorable
soil conditions, but In trials to date
at the experiment station the Hard
Federation has not been so good a
yielder as Federation or Jenkin

THIS WEEK'S SLOGAN
DID YOU KNOW That the Willamette valley produces
the best oats In the world, for milling: purposes, and the
heaviest oats in the world to the bushel or sack meas
ure; that the great breakfast food manufacturers of the
east know this, and would pay still better prices to our
farmers if they would organize and improve the quality
still more; that this section ought to raise more wheat,
too, and more barley and rye, always In rotation with
clover and corn and other crops; that there ought to be
more general selection of seed, and more drainage prac
ticed, and more tiling; that Salem Is now a good grain
market, and should be a much better and bigger grain
market?

Over 1200 people are employed
by the Hunt cannery and the Ore

having two departments.
This condition will last for a

blackberries are being used by all
the: canneries, with the exception
of the Starr company. They j are
using evergreen blackberries only,
their; pears being canned at one
of their other plants. Next week
all of the canneries will begin to
take prunes, and all of them will
make large runs on prunes.
It is safe to say that the people
now working in the Salem can
