0. S. C. Reports Oregon
Crop Far Greater Than
In California
OREGON STATE COLLEGE.
Corv allia. Dec. 21. Oregon arti
choke growers Ihls year have pro
duced more tonnage from their
30 acres of scattered test plant
ings than the entire yield of the
241 acres grown near the Calif
ornia plant. Is the word just
brought here by E. H. Wiegand,
head of the horticultural products
division who has Just returned
from Santa Rosa, where he spent
a month as plant superintendent
for the Pabst Dietary Products,
Inc.
Superiority of the Oregon pro
duct was not confined to yield
alone, says Professor Wiegand, as
the tubers are larger and appar
ently more mature than those
grown In t6 south, making pos
sible striking savings In plant
operation.
"It took 17 workers a full
eight-hour day to prepare enough
ot the California artichokes to
run the Plant 23 hours, said
Wiegand, "while be same crew in
four hours prepared enough Ore
gon tubers to run the plant 28
hours. With the southern tubers
there was 14.7 per cent trimming
waste and 90 per cent 01 tne pro
duct went into soup stock, f tne
cheapest form, while with the Ore
gon product the trimminr waste
is but 6.2 per cent and only 1
per cent went Into soup stock."
The California yields were so
much lower than expected that
practically all the Oregon ton-
age is being shipped to tne santa
Rosa slant for processing. Drouth
doubtless curtailed ' the ,'atl14$
there to some extent, beliefs' Pr
fessor Wiegand, but the natural
conditions are evidently far less
favorable than here In the north.
Naturally the Pabst company Is
pleased with the Oregon showing,
Professor Wiegand fotind, but
there will e no wholesale con
tracting for acreage for next year,
as the industry cannot expand
faster than the markets for these
specialised foor products are es
tablished. Some expansion is as
sured, however, and there is a
strong possibility ot establishing
a processing plant In this state.
