Stayton Area iii 1910;
Outcome Gratifying
- By IJnie I. Madsen
Farm and Garde Editor
Because way back In 1910 one
farmer wanted Irrigated pasture
for bis cows Jn the Stayton area.
now in 1944 approximately 6600
tons of beam are being harvested
from 1100 acres of Irrigated land,
i The farmer, now a prominent
resident of Salem, owned some
200 acres not so far from Stay
ton. His land, like all adjoining
land, had been "grain farmed to
death." . There was no reason, he
thought, why some of the water
from the river or from the pio
neer ditch or even from the tail
race, which furnished water for
the Stayton woolen mill, the grist
mill and the sawmill couldn't be
converted to the betterment of
the farm land. He spoke to neigh
boring farmers, who also became
interested, and the group, a small
one, tried to create an irrigation
company.
Backing Provided .
A little financial backing was
needed and this was furnished by
a Salem business man, now also
prominent in Salem circles. In
order to stretch the funds as far
as possible, the farmers obtained
J. W. Culver, then county engi
neer, to make the surveys for the
district in the slack winter pe
riod. His services were cheaper
then than during the 1 busier
spring and summer months. The
farmers themselves assisted him
in every capacity. , .
Even so, progress was slow.
People - hesitated putting money
into a project' unless they were
absolutely positive returns would
more than pay. Many farmers
themselves hung back. What was
good enough for pioneer granddad
was good enough for grandson.
Irrigating and growing untried
crops seemed not only risky but
like an awful lot of bother.
Company Org-asdsei
But the farmer who originated
the thought still believed in it
He believed in it so much that he
was able to implant his enthusl
asm into a group of Portland's
hard-headed business men and
the ."Willamette Valley Irrigation
company resulted.
wnue tnese Portland men
agreed to advance financial sup
port, their first question was
"What to grow to make it pay?
At that thne, irrigated pasture
land seemed sort of like whipped
cream on ice cream. Oregon al
ways had grazing land irrigated
grazing land was just an extra
topping to something that seemed
good enough as it was. At least
it seemed so to those who were
not trying to pasture high pro
ducing dairy cows. '"
It was at this tint that the
small group of progressive farm
ers sat down and thought some
more. ; .
Acreage Contracted
;The old Oregon Packing com
pany at that time was importing
its green beans for canning from
VtahJ Edward C Quinn, manager,
was known to be interested
new ventures. He was approached,
Yes, he would be willing to try
, Willamette valley grown beans
He personally would resume re
sponsibility for the contract of an
acreage three acres to be exact
Almost 10 years after the first
move toward irrigation, the first
crop was harvested on irrigated
land In the Stayton-West Stayton
area. Those three acres of beans
proved so successful, and brought
such nice returns to the venture
some farmers, that less venture
some folk signed a few more con
tracts on the dotted line for the
. next season, v ''-'v.""h 'rj
Today, besides the 100 acres of
beans, -approximately half that
much more is irrigated for other
purposes. Irrigation now costs the
farmer between $1.50 and S3 an
acre. ;
Oritinators Happy
The farmer who started the
move for irrigation, while he still
owns his farm and spends part
of each year there, sits back in
his beautifully appointed govern
ment office in Salem and smiles
atvthe first irrigation hurles.
Beans do ' well, but he doesn't
grow beans. He has his irrigated
pasture. .;V;r',." . .-'v-The
second Salem man, so in

cation, also sits back in "his office

Fruit Output
Has Big Gain
In Argentina
By J. J. Iaskeep -Clackamas
Comity Agent
Analysis of a report by the Unit
ed States department of agricul
ture on the fruit Industry in Ar
gentina brings out a number of
facts of Interest to fruit growers
and consumers in this country.
In 1931, Argentina did not grow
enough apples for its own use and
imported three-fourths ' of a mil
lion bushels from the United
States. Argentina now has ap
proximately 660,000 tons of fruit,
including a million and a half
bushels of apples.
Development of the fruit indus
try has been along a sound scien
tific basis with nlantines of the
best varieties, including largely
delicious apples and Bartlett pears.
Best fruit experts educated in the
United States have guided this de
velopment
British Owb Sails
This phenomenal development
parallels railroad development in
Argentina. Eighty percent of the
railroads, reported to be excellent
are owned and operated by British
Capital.
As soon as Argentina produced
an exportable surplus in 1935
measures were taken to restrict
imports, reducing them by 75 per
cent
Argetina apples and pears are
harvested in the spring months. Its
Bartlett pears must be consumed
within 60 days after being placed
in storage.
Argetina pickers received 75 to
90 cents a day, sunrise to sunset;
packing house labor 20 to SO dol
lars a week. Total cost of growing
and packing a box of apples is
about 83 cents.
Argentina fruit in normal times
finds a market mostly in Europe
and naturally expects to receive
imports from Europe in exchange.
The industry hopes for a greater
outlet in the United States, but
even at best could import little
fruit from this country as prac
tically all the buying power ii
found only in Buenos Aires.
Some off-season fruit might be
welcome in the United States, but
what products might be exported
in payment?
Corn Provides Problem
Study of world corn production
also presents trade problems of
particular interest to Oregon, with
Argentina again occupying the
center of attention.
The United States by far Is the
world's largest producer of corn.
about 2,500,000,000 bushels an
nually, while Argentina produces
only about 450,000,000.) .
We feed practically all of our
corn at home and import corn In
addition.
Argentina is the only large corn
producing country -with a large
exportable 'surplus, 80 per cent
Cattle and sheep In Argentina are
fattened mostly on alfalfa.
Oregon falls far short of produc
ing enough corn for needs of our
dairymen, stockmen and poultry
men. Exports of Argentina corn
to the United States averaged
about 1,500,000, 1925-1929; 42,000,-

TotaTLamb Crop
Estimated Slightly
Lower Than 1943
The total 1944 lamb crop of the
United States is estimated at 29,-
603,000 head, or about 5 per cent
less than the 1943 crop, and 3 per
cent below the 1933-1944 average.
The marketing situation and the
unsatisfactory cost of production
has lessened the number of ewes.
The Oregon lamb crop is esti
mated at 1.007.000 head, compared
"With 1431,000 in 1943.
Farm Output
To Be Larger
Than for 1943
A summary of the general Unit
ed States farm production situa
tion indicates the total volume of
prop and animal products, espe
cially of food items, considerably
greater than last year. This is ac
cording to a survey made and pre
pared by the agricultural exten
sion service of Oregon to assist
farmers in planning their produc
tion and marketing operations for
the year ahead. ?
r Crops used directly for food will
show large increases, although the
gross output of crops probably will
be only slightly larger than. last
year. A huge crop, of wheat is be
ing harvested and prospects are
for large fruit nuts and - truck
crops. Other food products are
generally abundant, but the sup
ply of feed grains and hay will be
smaller.
Owing to reduction in hogs and
chickens, it is not expected that
the total number of grain -consum
ing animals and poultry will be so
great next January as last hut the
reduction of hay-consuming ani
mals is not expected to be marked.
On January 1, 1944, the total
number of animals and poultry on
hand was at a high level. The na
tion! had 132 per cent as many
chickens per 1000 persons as the
1939-1930 average, milk cows 104
per cent, all cattle combined 113,
stock sheep 94, and hogs 178.
Yalley Counties
Prime Area for
Peach Growing
Approximately 4500 acres
peaches are grown in Oregon. Es
timates show that Marion, Yamhill
and Washington counties are the
neaviesx yieiaers. Marion and
Yamhill counties run about even
with around 900 acres each. Over
500 acres are grown in Washington
county. Clackamas has around 300
acres. Polk county also produces
quite a few and some is grown in
the southern part of the state as
wen as along the ColumbUtiriver,
000 bushels in 1937, with no late
figures.
Question is: does Oregon want
cheaper corn from Argentina or
higher priced corn, largely because
of freight haul, from the midwest
corn belt?

Production Becomes
LaFollette Tradition
Peach growing isn't all peaches
and cream but almost Clyde
M.
LaFollette contends.
Peach growing is almost a LaFol
lette tradition. It began about 63
years ago when Sen. Alexander
1 LaFollette and H. B. Hendricks
started their first peach orchard
on the original Willamette valley
LaFollette ranch near Wheatland
ferry. Incidently, this site also
happens to be the first site of the
Jason' Lee mission. :.r.' "
Some of the trees set out these
65 years ago are still bearing fruit
on the old home place, now owned
by three great grandsons of Sen
ator LaFollette: Alexander LaFol-
ette, 7; Byron, 5: and Frandi S.
Their father, also Alexander ta-
jrouette, cued two years ago, short
ly after he had returned to man
age the ol dhomestead. His widow
is carrying on, managing the 225
acres of peaches.
Regarded As Experts
Clyde and his brother, Charles
LaFollette, are credited with hiv
ing as much, if not more, peach
knowledge than anyone In the
state. Charles managed the orig
inal LaFollette home ' tor many
years, relinquishing it to his Ne
phew two years ago. Now he lint
doing much peach growing, but he
still has a finger in the marketing

Ten Tons to Acre I
Approximately five tons are be
ing harvested to the acre, although
10 ton were averaged on three
acres just harvested. About $00
ton of the Clyde LaFollette peach
es are contracted to canneries this
year.
There was a time," Clyde La
Follette smilingly admitted, while
assorting super from extra-super
peaches, 'that canneries wouldn'tj
can our Willamette valley peaches;
This time was not long ago. Not
more than 10 years. But they hive
found that our valley peaches have
the flavor,"
LaFollette explained that the
canneries had contended that the
valley peaches were not as firm as
those from many other sections j In
a year when harvest was heavy
and local market not too good.

there always has been a peach
market at the valley canneries, ac

Alberta Popular
Improved Ebertas, of which the
Clyde LaFollettes have SO acres.
are the most popular canning
peach both commercially and, in
the private home. Golden Hile,
which the LaFollettes themselves
developed, is next in popularity.
The old J. H. Hale is always a good
standby. The Mayflower is th
earliest peach on the LaFollette
ranch. First of these ripened this
season on June 29. Picking in the
orchards has been continuous
since. It will end around October
1, but early in September it will
"taper," LaFollette said. L
Peach trees, as a rule, are pel
out in February. Their time of use
fulness is somewhat a measure! of
the folk who care for them, ac
cording to LaFollette. With good
care, the life-period is greatly
lengthened. While 20 years is con
sidered the average lifetime o a
peach tree, many on the Clyde La
Follette ranee already are over 33
years old and still bearing welt

On Good Corn
Developments South
Of Monmouth Help
Disprove a Legend
Willamette valley grow good
enough corn; the stalks are tall;
the ears are well filled out; but
there's this valley dampness; corn
won't quite mature; the autumns
are too damp for proper ripening;
now take a real corn state, say
bwa, Minnesota, or Wisconsin
this is the corn legend Willamette
valley ranchers have been reared
on. .
Then along comes A. F. FJkins &
Sons with modern American ex
pression of "Oh, yeahj rays who?"
And in 1943, 43 tons of ripe corn
were dried as good as any corn
state could dry them. In 1944, ap
proximately twice that much will
be dried at hte Elkin place south
of Monmouth.
The "and" Sons" of the ranch
name refers to Melvin'M. and H.
El kins. Together, they are
farming 600 acres.
Minnesota 13 Favored
Of mis, 123 acres are corn. Part
of it is Hybrid, S23, which -sets two
ears to the stalk. ; Part of it is Hy
brid 100, which is new and being
tried out at the Elkin ranch for
the first time. The remainder of
the acreage is Minnesota 13. This
is the favorite on the FJkins farm
where one large ear is valued
above two smaller ones. Corn, not
cobs, is their object, they explain.
The harvest of mature corn will
begin somewhere between October
1 and 15. Something like from 10
to IS acres can be finished a day.
A corn-row picker is used with
one man on the picker, one as
hauler and one at the crib.
Toe Moist for Storage
When corn ir picked in the Wil
lamette valley, it has a moisture
content of 30 to 40 per cent While
this is In good husking condition.
the moisture is too high for good
storage. It must be brought down
to IS per cent to keep the corn
from moulding.
By planning and experimenting
a bit, the FJkins conceived the Idea
of a corn dehydrater. In the sum
mer of 1943, it was put into use for
the first time. It proved so sue
cessful that, with a few improve
ments now being completed, it will
be put into bigger use this season.
Dehydration is accomplished by
controlled heat under fan pressure.
Trucxioads ox ears oz corn are
brought Into the building and by
clever elevator system, evenly
distributed in four cribs. ' An oil
furnace furnishes the heat, and
warm air moves about 20,000 cubic
feet a minute through the . corn
which is arranged in each crib
around a ventilation space. From
40 to 60 hours are needed, depend
ing on the moisture content, to dry
the corn properly.
More Storage Space
The FJkins also are completing
additional storage space in their
private grain storage plant. There
are now something like 150 tons of
oats stored mere.
Cost of the dehydration plant
and corn harvest equipment was
estimated at $3500. The storage
plant and its equipment have tak
en another $10,000. ' In all Mr.
FJkins estimates his farm equip
ment and machinery at something
over $15,00Q.
"It costs something to farm,'
says A. . Elkins & Sons, "but if
you have proper equipment to
work with, it pays for itself."
Netv Interest
Boosts Cover
Interest in sowing cover crops
early has increased considerably
this year and more cover crops
have been seeded by this date this
year than has ever been done be
fore, observes W. C. Leth, Polk
county agent
- This is a most desirable practice,
says Leth, as the earlier sown cov
er crop produces a greater tonnage
of green material to be worked in
as a green manure In the spring
than those sown later, and at no
extra cost
- This year,' many growers . lost
considerable moisture from their
orchards by waiting too long to, ge
the desired growth on their cover
crops and many of those orchards
are now suffering for want of
moisture.
Leth also recommends using
heavier rates of seeding. The few
cents worth of seed saved would
result in several tons more per
acre of ; green . material - to be
ploughed under in the spring. Seventy-five
' to 100 pounds of seed
per acre is cot excessive.
FOOD USE INCREASES -
' During the 35-year period 1909'
1943, civilian per capita consump
tion of fresh truck crops increased
over 25 per cent reaching an all
time high ,f 251 pounds in 1942.
During the same period, per cap
ita consumption Of commercially
packed vegetables more than dou
bled. - reaching a high of 38.7
pounds in 1942.

- Milk as it comes from healthy
cows is clean t and . wholesome.

never be restored by any method
of processing to its original high
standard of purity and quality.

Says Protein
ing in US
Reports to the effect that large
supplies of protein meal and feed
grains have been .shipped out of
the country during the last year or
so are entirely without foundation,
says R. B. Taylor, chairman of the
Oregon AAA committee
These "exports", he adds, have
been blamed for shortages of feed
supplies here at home.
Exports of protein meal have to
taled less than one-third of one
per cent of the amount used here
at home. Imports tf protein dur
ing the past year have been more
than seven times the quantity ex
ported. Fish scrap and meaL and
vegetable proteins have come from
South America. No corn or wheat
has been exported for use as feed,
and only very small amounts for
food or industrial uses. Large
quantities of wheat and some corn
to augment domestic feed supplies
have been imported.
Mechanical Spud
Harvesters Help
Meet Labor Need
Potato harvesting operations
have been rapidly mechanized in
Oregon to the point where equip
ment has been developed which
completely eliminates both pick
ing up and sacking potatoes be
fore they are put into storage bins.
This bulk handling method of po
tato harvesting, as well as other
types of digging and sacking, are
described and compared in an ex
periment station circular of infor
mation, No. 345, "Potato Harvest
ing Methods in Oregon," just pub-'
lished by the OSC experiment sta
tion. Although wartime labor short
ages have hastened the develop
ment of so-called potato combines
and trailer sackers, the conven
tional method of digging and pick
ing up potatoes by hand win prob
ably continue to be the most com
mon method for several years, the
authors of the circular believe.
One reason is the inability to man
ufacture enough of the combine
units ot meet present demand.
The bulk potato handler used
for the first time in the Klamath
region, last fall is believed to be
the first of its kind in the country.
This digger-bulker has the advan
tage that the potatoes are loaded
directly into the transporting ve
hicle without the need for filling
and setting off sacks, or for pick
ing up and loading the sacks later
on, the authors state.
This machine not only elimi
nates four men from the crew but
also avoids lifting the sacked po
tatoes from hte field onto trucks.
This type of machine completes
the mechanization of the harvest
operation from the field to the
storage cellar, wih the. exception
of removing vines, clods, etc, on
the sorting conveyor.
Bonemeal, Iodized Salt
Arc Advised for, Cows
If your cow develops an appe
tite for wood, add a heaping table
spoonful of bonemeal to ground
oats, and give iodized salt as a salt
lick. If the dairyman is unable to
obtain these, he can get his veteri
narian to mix up a t powder for
him. - -

Over in Yamhill county, Rex
Warren is starting a little war all
of his own with Canada thistle and
morning glory as the enemy. Both,
he says, can be controlled by the
use of sodium clorate. This chemi
cal is available through local stores
and is the practical chemical treat
ment for small patches. Warren
adds that for best results growers
should plan to apply the chemical
about the time of the first fall
rains or between September 15 and
October L ; .
The recommended rate of treat
ment is 3 to 4 pounds of chemi'
cal per square rod. For satisfac
tory control the users must thor
oughly cover the weed - infested
area,. Dusting the chemical dry
has proved as effective and safer
than using it as a spray.
Normally treated, plots show that
the weeds in the center of the area
are killed while many of the weeds
on the outside were missed when
treated and are a source-of rein
f estatioa, Users of the chemical
should plan to watch the progress
during the coming season. Warren
states that 93 to 99 per cent con
trol should be had and that 1 to S
per cent of unkilled weeds will
reseed the area. The unkilled
weeds can be destroyed the fol
lowing season by retreating the in
fested area or by destroying with
a hoe.
For larger-areas Infested with
noxious weeds, other methods of
control are more practical. Culti
vation is one of the common me
thods, but in using this growers
must expect to keep the weeds
from making more than 10 days
green growth during the period
when they are under' control by
cultivation.
' .
Smother crops have proved sat
isfactory in control of many
weeds. In smother methods, the in
fested area is heavily seeded dur
ing the early fall, preferably in
common- vetch and oats, using at
least 50 pounds of vetch &ad 73
pounds of oats per acre. This crop
is harvested at the regular hay
time. The field Is then ploughed
and cultivated for the remainder
of the season. During the early
fall the land again is seeded to
vetch and oats.
