Farm X4ttor. The Statesman
I visited the wholesale' produce
dealers In Salem this week and
found out that if mid-Talley resi
dents dont have the proper vege
tables and fruits in their diet it
Is their own fault. L . ,'
There are three large general
wholesale produce dealers in Sa
lem and these have the most amaz
ing array of fruits and vegetables.
Unless X had seen it myself, . X
doubt I could have believed that
to much variety was available
-through Salem wholesale fruit
and vegetable markets or that such
quantities were supplied by local
Willamette valley growers. Besides
the produce supplied locally, car
loads are being brought In from
other states and other countries.
rink. Grapefruit Here "
The first carload of pink grape
fruit arrived early this week from
Texas. K couple of carloads of
summer Valencia oranges were
coming in this week. The oranges,
coming from southern Calilornia,
will not all go to Salem, but will
be distributed between Eugene,
Saem and Porjtland. 1
. A carload of bananas came into
Salem Wednesday. These were
grown in Central America under
in-iffatinn. Few bananas, one of
h wholesale dealers told me, are
row picked in the wilds as lor
saerly. They are grown under cul-

Sweet potatoes Just began com
ing In from California this week
and I found five baskets of Louis

wholesale houses for Salem re

of the freight rates, are thrown
in higher price brackets than art
the sweet potatoes, but they look
ed exceptionally fine. -
Just as I was leaving one of
the wholesale houses, A. W. (Sam)
Stysset of Gervais, Route 1, ar
rived with the first load of Ice
cream melons of the year. I stayed
long enough to taste them 'and
found that the sunny late sum

Winter Peas
Crop to Lose
Price Props
Government price support pro
tection was withdrawn this week
from Austrian winter peas.
The United States department of
agriculture, which will take over
bulk of the three-times ' normal
1950 crop is carrying out price
support committment of $A&2 a
hundred pounds to growers, will
exclude peas from the 1931 pro
gram. On other varieties of winter
cover crop seeds, of which Oregon
is a major producer, the USDA in
creased 19S1 rates on hairy vetch
and crimson clover, but reduced
the supports for common ryegrass
and common Willamette vetch. -.
Next year's support on hairy
vetch will be $1.70 a hundred
pounds, up 20 cents from this
year's $14.50. Crimson clover la
up 20 cents to $18.50.
Common ryegrass will be prop
ped at $5.75 a drop of 89 cents.
The support on common and Wil
lamette vetch will be $5, a 97 cent
cut from this year.

ing practice by dairymen have

stein at the top of the list with
121 pounds of fat In her fifth

Oanch
Hlomblings
"Willamar" is the attractive
herd name recently registered . by
Harold M. and Helen M. Cherry
of Salem for their Holrtein-Fries-ian
cattle. It is recorded by the
Holstein-Friesian association of
America. We like the. idea of
names for places, particularly reg
istered names. There seems to be
getting too many duplications in
our surnames and a registered
name for a place is not so easily
duplicated.
Two brothers were named off!
cers of the Portland Livestock ex
change when Robert L. Clark,
cattle salesman for BoDine ' &
Clark, livestock commission com
pany was named president of the
group, and Prosser E. Clark, hog
salesman for the same house, was
elected secretary. Both brothers
are widely known throughout the
valley.
In going back to names on
places, we stopped at the Robert
Harper farm north of Salem be
cause we liked the farm sign
there. The painting and woodwork,
says Robert cost $25. The post
can be as cheap or as expensive
as one likes. This particular pole
is of steel and more costly. But
tne sign is really most attractive.
While there we got to discuss
lng grass with Robert. On his 135
acre farm he has quite a bit of
grass Including a 20 acre field of
chewing fescue that is 16 years
old, and still going good. The
chewings, which included one
five-acre field that is comparative
ly new, averaged 250 pounds of
seed to the acre. His 25 acres of
alta fescue went 350 pounds of
seea uus year in Its "baby" crop
One of the troubles with fMm
on the valley floor is keeping rye
grass out of. It Rye grass just
loves to grow In everything in the
valley, the grass, growers tell you.
