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. Is Jenkln
Clb.. 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.

white oats; others contain a lot of
black oats, and still others contajn
a large amount of the obnoxious

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

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. A. C. No. 1
be substantially increased with 'no
appreciable Increase in effort.

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 tilling and more irrigation; that Salem
is now a good grain market, and should be a much better
and bigger grain market?
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. '.
Mr. White said yesterday that

mostly Prohi wheat for fall sow
ing, and Huston (or "grass") and
Marquis for spring sowing. The
start for the Marquis variety came
from Canada. 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.
Probster, the Swedish Select, and
Others; also the Three Grain oats.
The best barley is the Hann
chen; principally sown in the
spring, some in the fall. We also
use the Blue Blossom barley, for
spring sowing.
We use a good deal of rye for
cover crops, green feed, and pas
turing. It is mostly winter sown
1 hough spring sown barley does
very well here.
Current Grain Prices
Wheat in Salem is now around
$1.20 to $1.23 a bushel;. oats 40
to 45 cents a bushel; barley $26
to $28 a ton, and rye $1 a bushel.

It Was the Cherry City in Those Times, But Being the Man

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

This thing is illustrated somewhat

For a change, why not say
Salem is the hop city, as it really
is the center of the largest hop

The Peppermint City
Now that more than 3,000 acres

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. : ' .
