Farm Expert Tells of Possi
bilities of Yields on Ore
gon Farms
OREGON STATE COLLEGE.
Corvallis, Feb. 2 Seed flax as a
siriog grain crop for western
Oregon farmers this year holds
more promise than usual, accord
ing to Donald D. Hill, acting
heard of the farm crops depart
ment at the college, who recent
ly discussed thia subject over the
college radio, KOAC.
A fair average return from
spring barley, which Is one of
the best general spring crops, is
between 41 and 42 busbels.'which
at 335 a ton would return around
$35 an acre, Professor Hill points
out. Spring wheat could be ex
pected to do about the same or
possibly a little less.
Because of the abnormally
hi?b price of seed flax Just now.
vrhtch the Federal Outlook report
indicates is caused by a world
shortage, a yield of flax seed of
12 bushels would be enough, at
a bushel, to slightly exceed
the normal return from spring
barley or wheat. Even at $2.50 a
bushel, only a 14 bushel yield is
necessary to produce a fa an
acre crop.
Yields Good
The experience of western
Oregon growers, as reported to
!- experiment station, shows
yields have ranged from six
' an acre on poor white
to about 22 bushels oh a
tat formation. The farmer
,rew the latter crop in 1929
- lis crop for $3.25 a bushel,
naturally expects to grow
t again this year. The man
v. '.iO grew the low yield says that
oa good soil one may reasonably
expect a 15 bushel yield.
"The best soils for flax," says
Professor Hill, "are those that
retain their moisture rather late
in the growing season. Some of
the lighter soils, such as the san
dy or gravelly ones, which are
Irrigated or sub-irrigated, may
grow fairly good flax. The most
generally successful soils are
those that are medium to slight
ly heavy in texture, such as the
bilt loam, clay loam, and silty
clay, and in a few instances
lightly heavier type3. It is espe
cially desirable that the soil for
flax should be rich enough to
grow good crops of grain. It is
important that soil for flax be
quite free from weeds.
Xot Hard on Soil
"A rather general opinion is
t'.iat flax is hard on the soiL This
idea ii entirely unfounded as flax
ti not hard on the soil. Flax pro
bably removes less tf fertility
from the soil per dollar's worth
of crop than any other crop ex
cept wheat, with which it is
about equal. In order to "produce
the hezt yields of flax this crop
should be grown in rotation. A
very good rotation for flax con
sists of (1) a cultivated crop
such as corn, beans, or potatoes;
(2) flax; (3) vetch for hay.
'h?re a longer rotation is de
sired it may be (1) a cultivated
crop; (2) grain; (3) legume,
eucli as clover; and (4) flax.
There are many other rotations
ia which flax can be grown, but
I believt this will suffice to give
n idea of the type of rotation
desired.
-Ia normal years the flax
should bo seeded as soon as the
ground works well and the weath
er I warm enough for prompt
germination. April is usually a
good time for sowing, although
seed flax on soil that has been
ptovred early and kept well work
ed and free from weeds has been
very successful, sowed even as
late as early June. In normal
years, however, the late May or
early June) soils dry out before
the crop has finished develop
ment. However, flax will atand as
late seeding as the other spring
crop. V Probably the best seed
available for seeding flax in Ore
con thil year Is Montana seed.
Tb Archer, Daniels, Midland
company of Portland, is introdu
cing a quantity of good seed from
Montana, which will be available
l)r seeding purposes.
eed Should Be Treated
"Flax seed should always be
treated for disease previous to
planting. Oregon has had very
little flax disease, and the con
ditions do not seem as favorable
for the spread of the more ser
ious peases as in some other
states. However, It is very desir
able to safeguard against the es
tablishment of -any of the serious
flax diseases. The standard for
maldehyde solution of one pint
of formaldehyde to 40 gallons of
water Is recommended for the
treatment of flax. Flax cannot be
dipped or sprinkled as can grain.
but it should be sprayea wun
high pressure sprayer. The seed
should be raked over vigorously
while the mixture is being spray
- ed on. This keeps it from sticking
together. Care should then be
covered for two or three hours
with a canvas or other cloth and
then allowed to dry out quickly.
Soro stirring may be necessary

if too much mostnre has been ap
plied, r

DRIED FRUIT
Foreign Demand Reported
Increasingly Heavy for
Oregon Products
Foreign markets are becoming
increasingly important for Pacific
of the output for several years
coast dried fruits and. 50 per'cent
has been exported.
The Umpqua valley, it is stated,
has about 11,000 acres in prunes
producing. on an average approx
imately 2,000 pounds per acre,
somewhat higher than the aver
age for the state of Oregon.
Since the cost of production de
pends very largely upon the yield
per acre, the recommendation is
made in the report that unless an
orchard will produce one ton or
more dried fruits per acre, it
should either be brought up to
that point or eliminated.
Prune growers are also urged
through soil management, prun
ing and fertilization to make ev
ery effort to increase the size of
the fruit, in order to obtain the
higher prices offered by buyers
for the larger sizes.
Development of a greater mar
ket for canned green fruit is also
urged and" encouragement is be
ing given local canneries in an ef
fort to build up a larger market
for the canned products.
In keeping the recommenda
tions of the federal farm board,
the county horticultural society
urges that the production be
kept within the bounds of con
sumption demands and that,
therefore, there be no further ex
pansion of the prune business in
any variety.
The recommendation also is
made that more efficient and
modern merchandising methods
should be adopted and that fed
eral grades should be established
and that an advertising fund
should be created, possibly by the
levy of a quarter cent Pet- pound
on all fruit sold to the packers.
Fertilizers Are
Suggested to Be
Used in Orchards
KEN'NEWICK, Wash. A fer
tilizer carrying five per cent ni
trate and 10 per cent phosphate
has been recommended by county
agent N. C. Dnrdie for orchard
fertilization in the fruit districts
of Benton county. The need for
potash fertilizers is very slight if
any at the present time, Mr. Dnr
die believes.
that he cut the flax with the
binder without tying the bundles.
The flax was allowed to dry In
the windrow until dry-enough fer
threshing. For normal conditions,
however, the combine is perhaps
the most satisfactory, harvesting
equipment. -
"In conclusion, let me say that
seed flax is not being recommend
ed as a "wonder" crop for all
conditions. It is a crop which 13
well adapted to a number of soil
types in western Oregon and to
the climatic conditions here. The
federal outlook reports Indicate
a shortage in tne crop, unless
there is an abnormal increase in
production, the price should be
favorable although possibly not
as high as in 1929. For a spring
planted cash crop, I believe it is
often more productive than the
grain crops. If you have large
acreage to be planted this
spring, seed flax will bear inves
tigation. Address any questions
regarding seed flax to KOAC or
to the farm crops department of
the college. Bulletins and special
information will be sent on re
quest."

PickarcFs Golden Glow
Jersey Fay m at Marion
Achieves Enviable Success
By CLAUDINA ROLAXD
MARION, Feb. 22 Of Impor
tance to the Jersey World Is the
progress made by Elzy Pickard,
owner of the Golden Glow Jersey
Farm at Marlon, Oregon, who Is
building up one of the outstand
ing Jersey herds in the state of
Oregon using for his foundation
some -of the original stock which
made the Pickard Brothers so
well known several years ago.
In a 305"day test just complet
ed, Mr. Pickard has added two
more splendid records to his cd
it, the first being that of Theda
Loraini with a production of 14,
053 pounds of milk, 855.57
pounds butter fat and an average
test of 6.09 for the 305 days test
ed. This cow, a beautiful animal,
was sired by the son of Darling
Gallant Boy full brother to the
world record Jersey Darling Jolly
Lassie, a Pickard development,
who produced on test 1141
pounds butter fat. Her dam
Theda Mowat bred and owned by
Warren Gray of Marion and her
sire was Rosaire's Golden Mowat,
gold and silver medal bull, and
he the sire of Poets Mabel Mowat
who produced 883.93 pounds but
ter fat in 305 days.
World Record Possibilities
This cow's record and breeding
shows her to have world record
possibilities. Tne other cow to
add to Mr. Pickard's ever growing
list of fine records is Glow Dar
ling who Is a great grand daugh
ter of the famous Vive La France
another world record cow devel
oped by Pickard Bros. Glow
Darling's record for the 305 day
test was milk 12,855 pounds, but
ter fat 702.68, average test 5.47
With the completion of the test
of Poppy's Golden Princess who
is on her sixth month with a pro
auction to date of 378 pounds
butter fat, Mr. Elzy Pickard will
nave esiaoiisned an envious re
cord as all of his cows in milk
will carry exceptionally good re
cords.
Another cow of importance is
Frosty's Valinda (255765) a
nineteen year old cow with a re
cord of 717.95 pounds butterfat
in 365 days. She will freshen the
19th f March and then there is
Silken Vive Glow (519655) with
661 pounds of fat in 365 days.
Mr. Pickard also has in his herd
a seventy-rive per cent Darling
Gallant Boy Dam Glow Darling.
She will freshen this month and
will no doubt be another world
record cow.
Kffort Untlring
Thls herd has been developed
inrough the untiring efforts o
tne part of Eliy Pickard who
shortly aftert he Pickard Broth

time Elzy and Ovid Pickard dis
posed of their Jersey herd, de
cided to reenter the datrv busi
ness and was successful in repur
chasing two or three of the top
rows ana also several others from
their original herd as a founda
tion and from this stock he has
again built up a splendid herd of
strong producing persey cattle.
Since 1927 he has had 13 cows
to freshen, eleven of which were
Wheat Boycott

CHICAGO, Feb. 22 London:
"It Is all tripe." That was the

manager of the Canadian wheat
pool on claims made by the Chi
cago board of trade that Great
Britain is boycotting American
and Canadian wheat. "There is
no boycotting goirfg on in this
country," h said. Similar In
quiries hare been received by us
from Canaaa. We have found af
ter a thorough investigation that
there is not the slightest founda

Onion Crop is
Forecast for Year
The Department of Agri
culture's preliminary esti
mate of the acreage of Ber
muda and Creole type on
ions In the United States for
1930 is about 12 per cent
less than the acreage grown
in 1029 and nearly 10 per
cent less than that or 1928,
but is somewhat larger than
average acreage daring the
past five years.
The indicated acreage in
each of the three states of
the group Is below that of
1929, Texas showing a de
crease of 8 per cent; Louisi
ana IS per cent and Calif
ornia 39 per cent.
Following is given the
preliminary estimate of the
three states onion acreage:

California 3.450 2,100
Lonbdana 2,180 1,900
Texas 19,700 18,210

(309786) who was sired by Vive
La France Last Son (241177)
and out of grand daughter of La
dy Silken Glow with 1038 pounds
butter fat. In this bulls pedegree
he traces five times to one thous
and pounds butter fat; quite a
backing for breeding purposes in
itself.
Mr. Pickard started official
testing March 28th, 1929, putting
on test not picked cows from his
herd but the first three which
came fresh and from the showing
these three cows have and are
making we do not hesitate in say
ing that we will again see a world
record cow produced at Marlon,
Ore.

SUB SOILING
: IS EFFECTIVE
Better Crops at Less Cost
- Result in Willamette
Vafley
Sub soiling is coming into its
own in the Willamette valley, if
one may Judge from the ever-increasing
number of farmers who
are using it. "Does it pay?" is the
universal question of those who
are considering trying it.
The answer may ..be found on
many different farms In Polk and
Marion county. At the F. E. Pence
farm at Rickreal Mr. Pence has
not had a plow on the place for
three years and yet is getting
larger and better crops at less
cost than he has had at any pre
vious time.
At this season of the year when
when the soil Is very wet ordin
ary plowing is Impossible. IIow
ver, with a Caterpillar tractor the
ground that was subsotled last
fall may be harrowed, disced and
drilled early in the season.
R. W. Hogg and sons have a
field on their farm in Polk coun
ty which illustrates this condition
very well. Formerly it was im
possible to seed this plot before
June or July. After the fall sub
soiling the group was seeded in
April last year. Corn for ensil
age was sowed and the crop was
remarkably fine.
Another outstanding example Is
to be found on the J. D. Dunn
farm 10 miles north of Salem on
the west side of the river. Mr.
Dunn raised wheat on one of his
fields which was plowed and se
cured a yield of 22 bushels to the
acre. On an adjoining field that
was sub soiled he planted the
same variety of wheat and secur
ed a yield of 50 bushels to the
acre. Not only was the yield hea
vier but the wheat was . much
larger kernels and of a very fine
quality.
"We advise farmers who sub
soiled last fall to harrow just as
early in the spring as possible,"
said M. W. Maynard, manager of
the Loggers and Contractors Ma
chinery company of Salem. "By
harrowing Just as soon as the
ground is dry enough the crust
is broken and a mulch is created
that is very valuable to the crop.'
Not only is sub soiling valua
ble in hay and grain crops but
has proven a success with fruit,
nuts and berries. That many
more Willamette valley farmers
will sub soil this fall is predicted
by agricultural authorities in the
State.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22 (AP)
State department officials said
tonight that arrangements had
been made to care for a group of
American seamen stranded at St.
Vincent, Cape Verde islands, and
that transportation back to the
United States would be given
them.
The state department, it was
added, acting through .its agen
cies in that territory, has already
given relief to the seamen who
are American citizens.
Senator Metcalf of Rhode Isl
and announced today that he bad
been Informed of the plight of
the group which included Charles
C. Harris, of Pawtucket, Rhode
Island, and 30 others.
The Information sent to Met
calf from his office In Providence
was that the group had been
stranded and "were without food
or water for two days and hare
had very little to eat since." The
message added that they bad ap
plied to the American consul at

Investigating Committee Re
ports Fruit Conditions
Generally Good
Due to favorable climatic and
soil conditions, additional plant
ing of pears may be made profit
ably, it was stated, but the recom
mendation is given that new
plantings, if any. should be Bart
lett, Bosc or Anjon varieties. An
jous should be planted with Bart
lets for polllnlzatlon. It was ad
vised. It is recommended, how
ever, that at least 75 "per cent of
the plantings should be Bartlett.
The mild winter climate and
long growing period of the Ump
qua valley, the report of tne pear
committee stated, is such that
pear growing should be profit
able. This section has an advant
age over many other localities in
the fact that malignant blight
does not affect pears seriously in
this district and other diseases
and pests may be easily controlled
by proper spraying and pruning
methods.
Pear growers have been advis
ed not to expect continuation of
the prices that have prevailed as
increased production will not Jus
tify continuation of such condi
tions. Peaches Not So Good
The committee investigating
the peach situation advised that
new plantings should be made
only to keep up with the local de
mand. There has been a slight
increase in local consumption as
a result of roaosiae stands ana
the opening of the Coos Bay Mar
ket by the completion of the
road to the coast. Extreme care
in selection of soil was advised.
Enough grapes are now being
raised to supply the local demand
and as transportation facilities do
not permit competition with the
California crop there is no justifi
cation of expansion. Bulb grow
ers may increase plantings of lily
bulbs, it was reported, but care
should be taken to prevent ex-!
cessive production of other bulb
varieties.
Adoption of efficient produc
tion method and a campaign of
judicious advertising, together
with efforts to improve quality,
are the recommendations of the
nut growers' committee. Disease
control should be given serious
consideration and efforts should
be made to increase the yield per
acre.
