' iVovetl Varletlrs" Beat After a-poor year many farmers are dissatisfied with their results. ., Tberr .is- oTten a tendency to . change from varieties that hare ; been good for years, to something ; new. Many times promoters of new rarieties seise on such an I occasion to exploit these rarieties at high, prices. When crops hare " been poor and the farm returns have not been up to par. Is no 1 lime to experiment on an expen ' sire new variety that has not "been thoroughly tried out. AH commercial varieties obtain able are being tried; or have been tried, at the experiment station. and out of the "many hundreds of ' these only a few may be recom- mended as standard varieties. ' What, atte all, is' a standard variety of grain? What the agri cultural college considers to be , A standard variety of grain is one that consistently yields better than j others and that meets the market ; demand. . r ' ' ' V - The market demand. for wheat from the Pacific northwest is largely for white wheat. Red f wheat does not sell so well on the ' general' market as -white. Of course. If you are growing wheat and-selling Itto some of your i neighbors for poultry feed, there s Is little difference whether the . wheat is white, red, or mixed, but , it ; you are selling through the grain trade and the grain enters lnio commercial channels. It Is im , portant to have the kind of wheat that sells best. For the Willamette valley soft ' white wheat is the most market able kind that we have. White s club is next. Years of experl- menta at the agricultural college t have shown that of the fall vari , cties. the most dependable. Insofar ,as winter hardiness and yield are concerned, are found in one group. tin this group (ace three varieties which are vf r similar. The aest of Ithese ii white Winter. Next come - two others that, are very t nearly alike, 'lollandM and Eaton. ! These Infee1- Varieties are very i similar in many respects In ap l pearance in the field, and -in yield. ' At the experiment station gener i ally White Winter is best. Of the non-hardy varieties. Rink t Is one that 1$ somewhat like the i White Winter. It is a very good soft, white wheat, which may be 'planted either fall or spring, but which Is not quite so consistent a yielder generally as White Winter. i JeklB;Clb GoodVlelder The variety that Is the highest - yielder of any of them in-the years when the winter is mild.

This variety, which has a ; yellowish-white, soft, club kernel, is very. high yielder. and where .there' Is no serious freezing or . heaving, It is usually a little better ; yielder, than the other varietiea that have been mentioned. It is ,xtoi quite mo good for some of the -soft white. flour purposes, but still it Is an excellent yielder, and the price ia generally good. . i Of the - numerous. oat varieties for, western-OregeB.-undoubtedly "the Gray Winter fcats Is the best.

There is need for considerable work in the improvement of the gray oats of western Oregon. The experiment station is working up' several, rather hardy strains of the Gray Winter oats, hoping to be able to pat out,- in the course, of time, a hardier, fetter, and evener type of that grain,- Gray oats Is particularly useful in connection with the production of feed and milling grain; Gray oat has an unusually, thin hull and "large plump sweet kernels, adapting it to rolled oat manufacturing pur poses. Inferior Eastern Oats Sold It is surprising that newspaper advertising Fells so much inferior eastern rolled oats In the west when there is a better home manu factured product from gray, oats. There is probably, no other oats grown in the northwest that is its equal. Growing as it does during the cool season and repening early in the summer, the grain is usual ly sweet and plump. Oats are better-suited probably to the poorer lands than to some of the lands that are a little wet for barley or wheat,, although bet ter yields of oats are secured on good land. , Winter Barley Profitable Another cereal that is attract ing a great deal of attention and that is increasing in acreage stead ily as the seed becomes available, is o, JA. C.r No. " T ? Winter .barley. Winter ibafley.. is well suited to soils reasonably rich and Jw.ell drained. It is not a wet Und crop. The advantages of winter barley are that it may be seeded in the fall when there is more, time -for work: It lx3 through'the winter, except in high altitudes or In the extreme north end of -the valley. It ripens quite early before the dry season is on and usually makes a nice large yield of grain. Tbeflfcarley, the crops of the valley may grain does not have so good feed ing or milling quality as Hannchen barley, but is excellent for hogs and other stock feeding uses. The early ripening barley ls; a very good nurse crop for clover. Q. A. C. No. 7 is the best variety. In the preparation or fall grains for sowing, the land is plowed and worked down as early as pos sible. It is undesirable to get the seed bed worked down excessively fine, especially where the soils are heavy- and tend . to run . together. The land , that may be worked down, fairly early will get into bet ter condition with - the fall rains for an' early 'seeding and good stooling. Of course, too early sowing of either wheat or barley entails some danger of Hessian fly injury. This is especially true this year after the" serious fly in festation. It is best to wait until some time in early October for the sowing, unless there should be unusual wet weather or frost early this fall. Generally the best time for growing is October 1 to IS, and the important thing Is to sow shal low. : Shallow Sowing Best Grain that is, sowed deep in a loose bed is always handicapped and usually falls, to make a satis-, factory growth. The stands are generally thinner, stooling is poor er and the yields are reduced. One to one and a. half Inches deep is enough and where the seed beds are excessively loose . it may be a good plan: to roll the seed bed before sowing. -.:-r '-. ' Harrowing after sowing has lit tle or to advantage. The . seed bed should be prepared, before sowing takes place. The seed in all cases should be treated for smut; 'The copper car bonate treatment is the best treat ment. for wheat, and the agricul tural college has a bulletin dealing wjth that method of ' treatment. The formaldehyde : treatment is stU the -best treatment for the gray ots and' for the O. A.

Telephone and .flll ,. -t) m reported of very serious losses Trom smut: The writer has been in oat fields baring as much as 20 to 30 per cent smut in fields of barley with up to 10 per cent loss because of smut, and a field of wheat was reported this year with approximately 90 per cent smut. It is. very difficult to account for the heavy infestation other than a total failure to treat. . ! There Is probably no other farm operation that costs as little and that brings as much in in creased yield and better safability of crop than to treat for smut. : A 'great many people are in clined to be a little skimpy in the use of seed. Better have a good stand than a scant one. Our ex periments on soils that are rather poor usually indicate that a fairly heavy rate of seeding gets the best returns. Generally seven or eight pecks an acre are best. This ap plies particularly to wheat and barley, while with oats usually 10 to 12 pecks are considered better. Heavy Seeding Advised ' With early sowing on very rich soil in fine condition, sometimes a. J little smaller sowing may take place because stooling is encour aged under those conditions. Where the soils may be a little cold or a little low in available fertility, or where the sowing is made rather late, it is always de sirable to use plenty of -seed to make up for the lack of stooling. It is particularly desirable that the seed be planted rather shallow so that prompt germination may take place. 'If the Willamette valley grain growers will make thorough and effective treatment for the dis eases, plant moderately shallow on a well prepared - seed bed with most of the planting done In the first half of October, and largely confine their sowing operations to standard varieties like White Win ter and Jenkin Club wheat, the Gray oats, and O.

WE SHOULD RAISE MORE GRAIN ACRES: ESPECIALLY MORE TO THE ACRE The Average Wheat Yield Was Low This Season, But There Were Some Very Good Crops, and Oats and Barley Did Quite Well It Takes Good Farming Meth ods to Produce High Grain Yields F. Haslebacher of the Hazel Green district, near Chemawa, on Route 9, Salem, produced this year, in a large field (about 50 acres), wheat that averaged for the whole tract 45 bushels to the acre. Mr. Gerig. on Route 7, Salem, produced oats this year that went about 100 bushels to the' acre. .Clarence Johnson, Route 7, Sa lem, had a four acre field of oats that went 250 bushels. Mr. Haslebacher. mentioned above, had another field of wheat that went 35' bushels to the acre. Mr. Pence, on the 'Nesmith place, at Rickreall. had a field of barley that went 65 bushels to the acre. These are Just some of the high spots. They can be found all over the alem district. It re quires good farming methods to raise good crops of grain such a year as this. Especially wheat. Our oats and barley did very well. But our wheat, on poorly culti vated lands, suffered severely from the hot days when it was in the "milk." and generally from the long dry spell, taking away the moisture. The Varieties We Use - H. O. White, of the firm of D. A. White & Son, Is one of the best posted men in Salem on the grain industry. He is constantly buy ing and selling for his firm, as thex are feedmen and seedmen. and large shippers of everything in their line. - He believes we have a good grain country, capable, with cor rect rotations and conservation and building up of soil fertility, of producing In every normal , year crops of grain away above the av erage for this section of the Unit ed States.

It grows any where, on the bottoms as' well as in the hills, and it outyields any other variety and grades high in quality. The grey oat is our fall oat, and for early spring sowing. It makes tbe.highest grade milling and feed oat of all. The fact is, it com-, mands a premium from the mil lers and the breakfast food manu facturers. Our white oats is mostly of the Shadeland type, of which we have several varieties. We also use the Banner, the White' Russian, the.

MORE SALEM IS BEEN GOBI MAI NEW NAMES I IE PAST ELEVEN YEARS It Was the Cherry City in Those Times, But Being the Man ufacturing, Marketing and Banking City of the Land of Diversity, It Has Been Acquiring Additional Terms of Distinction, and Is Bound to Go Right on Doing That Very Thing The Salem creed that accom panies this Article was written eleven years ago, at the special request of the Salem Commercial club, now the Salem Chamber of Commerce. It was written by Rev. James Elvin, the then pastor of the First Congregational church of Salem, and the chairman of the promotion committee of the Salem Commercial club. Thousands of copies were sent to Salem pros pects in the east. Mr. Elvin is now the pastor of the First Congrega tional church of Helena. Montana, and. with his family, has just paid his Salem friends a welcome visit, arriving last Friday and leaving yesterday, being on a long tbur by auto, spending his summer vaca tion. Salem has been given man J new names since that time, and will have many more in the future; is acquiring them all the time. Be ing the manufacturing, marketing and banking city of the land of diversity, new names are being and will continue to be added. Pretty soon. Salem will be the sugar city, the capital of the sugar bowl district of the United States. This thing is illustrated somewhat by the following from the current weekly bulletin of the Salem Chamber of Commerce, in which the following paragraphs are found: A Fine Slogan A year or two ago a school girl gave us the tourist slogan, "Trail 'Km to Salem." This is now used on all the Chamber of Commerce tourist lit erature. Are We the Clerry City? Years ago Salem was the prune city. Then It becomes the cherry city. Then to advertise the logan berry industry, Salem was nation ally known as the loganberry city. A Hop Center For a change, why not say Salem is the hop city, as it really is the center of the largest hop acreage in the United States. The Peppermint City Now that more than 3,000 acres in the Salem district are planted in peppermint and there are many stills throughout the county, why not call Salem the peppermint city? The Canning City There will be more than 1,000, 000 cases of fruits, berries and vegetables packed In Salem this season. Why not advertise as a great canning city? A Few Mora Or. the Baby Chick City, as more than 1,000,000 -baby, chicks will be hatched this year in and near Salem.

' ( FROM THE COLLEGE FARM M i EE Investigations of Freezing,, Injury to Fruit Trees; CtW (The following notes are from a current bulletin of the department of industrial journalism, Oregon" Agricultural College:)' The female cutworm moth is said by an Oregon experiment station circular to lay from 200 to 500 or more eggs either singly or in masses. The eggs are usually deposited in fields on or near food plants of the cutworm but are sometimes on- buildings, trees or fences. One species, the variega ted cutworm, is noted by ex periment slatiou as having prefer ence for the family laundry hanging on the line. AH eggs hatch in a few days into another generation of worms which reach es maturity in July and August. The adults of this generation ara in the fields and gardens from July to October. Egs from thes adults hatch into the overwinter. Iiir larvae completing two genera tions a year. Dairying in the coast district is becoming more -of a specialized industry, the operator tending to become a strictly high-class dairy farmer. In the Willamette valley the number of real dairymen can hardly be said to be increasing. Freezing injury such as tomls to produce frost cankers is identi fied in the spring by the dead bark which usually has a sour odor and often cracks and peels off exposing a discolored cambium and sap wood, investigations of the exper iment station have determined. The discolored parts are black with pear tissues. Sometimes the bark may adhere, shrink and form a sunken area. In either event a new bark is developed beneath the old which scales off. . Some times the wood is killed while the cambium and inner bark remain alive. : ' . C. F. Brerthaupt, florist and decorator, 123 N. Liberty. Phone 180.
