"Bob" Withycombe, Worked
On Farmers' - Problems
For Over 30 Years
la the recent death of Robert
.Withycbmfcey 51, sob of the late
Governor James Wlthycombe.
Oregon agriculture lost a friend
who has devoted 30 years to re
search In the betterment of farm
ing, particularly fu the eastern
part of the state. Mr. ! Wlthy
eombe has been connected with
the Eastern Oregon branch exper
iment station at Union since its
establishment in 1901, and has
been its snperintendont 'since
1901. . - H
Throughout this period "Boh"
Withyeombe. as he was universal
ly known, has been somewhat of
a -patron saint" of the entireJ
eastern Oregon livestock Industry,
for on the Union station he has
carried on most of the- important
research work for the cattle, sheep
and hog raisers of the state, and
more recently added work with
dairy cattle and poultry.
Every important problem of the
eastern Oregon livestock industry
from the early question of various
methods of winter feeding of
steers, to the recent subject of
management of farm sheep flocks,
and feeding of baby beef has been
studied on this branch station,
usually with highly valuable re
' suits accruing to the stockmen, ac
tual records reveal. Withyeombe
was author or Joint author of 12
bulletins which together consti
tute a progressive textbook of
livestock management east of the
Cascades.
Though the primary interest of
the station has been the livestock
industry, crop improvement has
been developed to a high degree
on the 600-acre experimental
farm. There Withyeombe bred and
developed the famous Union
beardless barley after plant breed
ers had told him it was impossible
to produce a beardless barley that
would not shatter.
It' was there also that Grimm
aifaira was first introduced in this
etate on a field 'trial basis, and
the original field of Grimm is still
producing hay crops. Since its
successful Introduction It has be
come the standard variety
throughout the state as It is su
perior In nearly all respects to the
old common types.
Mr. Withycombe succumbed In
Portland to an attack of blood
poisoning a few 'days before
Christmas. Experiment station of
ficials at Oregon State college
have made no announcement of a
possible successor.
45 PER CENT BOOST
III FULL PIG CROP
The fall pig crop In Oregon was
45 per cent larger this fall than
la 1930 which war somewhat
larger than the preceding year,
according to the annual surreys
i raade in cooperation with post
masters, rural carriers, and con
tract carriers of the United States
postoffice department by the Unit
ed States division of crop and live
stock estimates. ;
In Oregon the large increase in
the number of fall pigs this year
is 'due almost entirely to a large
number . of bows farrowing, the
average size of litter measured by
the. number of pigs saTed being
6.6 this fall compared to 6.5 a
year ago. A comparison of fall
farrowing? this year with farrow
ing last anrlng shows the former
to be orer 13 per cent greater. As
the spring crop. 13 usually the larg
est, this emphasizes the increase
In hogs which is taking place.
For next spring the survey
shows that sows aireaay Drea or
to be bred for farrowing exceed
last spring's farrowing by 31 per
cent. There- will be a considerable
increase In the spring pig crop
even if Allowance is made for the
usual spread between Intentions
and actual farrowing which are
usually about 13 per cent less. A
comparison of sows for breeding
with all bogs over six months in
dicates little change between the
current surrey and that of a year
ago.
