Vetch Acreage
Drops Sharply
In Valley Area
By LILLIE L. MAD SEN
Farm Editor, The Statesman
CORVALLIS Oregon's certi
fied Willamette vetch acreage has
taken a toboggan ride In the past
six years. From close to 97,000
acres certified as late as 1946,
acreage certified in the state In
1952 dropped to 269.
Vetch inspection for certifica
tion has just been completed in
Oregon. A year ago, it is re
called, 390 acres passed field in
spection. Records show that prior
to 1951, inspected acreage had
been averaging close to 3,000 an
nually in the majority of post war
years.
Willamette Vetch is a common
vetch selection which at the time
of its release some years ago, was
characterized by winter hardiness
and disease resistance. In cases
of continuous vetch cropping,
however, growers report that dis
eases have become so destructive
that it is now difficult to grow
with much success.
However, here at the experi
ment station, J. W. Ross, Oregon
State College seed certification
specialist reported Monday that
of all common vetches tested,
Willamette still rates superior.
This is also true, Ross said, in
the south where much seed has
been sold in past years. In fact,
the southern states have been the
biggest market for the huge
quantities of vetch Oregon for
merly grew, as well as for the
smaller amounts grown in recent
years. ,
Ross blamed crop losses from
winter injury, and diseases and
insect damage for a large part of
the decline in grower interest.
Lack of sufficient premium for
certified Willamette vetch due to
the removal of the production and
marketing administration pay
ment, is also one of the big causes
of the acreage drop, Ross added.
The certification specialist said
that he believed the solution to
vetch grower problems is a strong
field rotation system where vetcn
is grown only once in three or
four years in the same field. Dur
ing off years, volunteer plants
must be eliminated. Following a
system of this type, he added,
would put common vetch seed
production on a more sound ba
sis.
Despite the set-back In acreage,
Ross said he hoped growers would
continue to certify a limited acre
age of the Improved common
vetch so that a high quality seed
stock could be assured.
Driver Dies, Truck
Crashes Near Bend
BEND (JP) A truck carrying
25,000 pounds of meat and produce
ran off U. S. Highway 23 miles
east of Bend, knocked down a tel
ephone pole and crashed through
a fence Monday.
The driver, Richard J. Mont
gomery, 40, Vancouver, Wash.,
was found dead at the wheel. Po
lice said he apparently collapsed
of a heart attack and was dead
before the truck, which he was
driving for a grocery chain, left
the road.
Wheat Prices
Close Firmer
CHICAGO (JP) - Wheat futures
firmed Monday on mill buying as
brokers reported a lack of hedge
selling pressure. Other grains and
soybeans also generally moved up
ward. Despite the fact that harvest op
erations are nearing completion in
many areas, there is a general lack
of hedge selling, traders said.
Wheat receipts were 396 cars,
which was somewhat large but
not as heavy as expected.
Some traders said that with
wheat prices well under the loan
rate, there are indications that
many farmers are storing their
wheat.
Wheat closed higher to H
lower, than the previous finish,
corn was V higher to y lower,
oats were ahead to , rye was
1 to 3y cents higher, soybeans
were up y to 1, and lard was
unchanged to 7 cents a hundred
pounds lower.

To Firemen
The horseless carriage driven by
William Wegenroth of 1207 S.
Commercial StT was brought to
water Monday afternoon at the
Central Fire Department and, in
a manner of speaking, made to
drink.
Wegenroth discovered the rear
seat of his car to be suddenly
ablaze while driving Monday and
simply continued driving right to
the fire department. The firemen
put out the blaze, but Wegenroth's
seat was already destroyed. Fire
was believed to have started from
a cigaret spark.
At the Jayhawk Trailer Co.,
1640 Portland Rd., on a humid
Monday afternoon, a propane
truck's hose connection expanded
and the highly volatile, heavier-than-air
propane was dissipated
onto the highway. Propane which
had spewed onto the highway was
driven through by several cars and
firemen were surprised that It
didn't ignite. A fire truck stood
by until the liquid was wetted
down.

Money, Gun
A burglary late Monday eve
ning at the L. M. Saylor residence,

slitting a screen on the back bed
room window and forcing the win
dow. A bed next to the window
was crawled over and light was
created by striking paper matches.
Among the items reported stol
en by Saylor were the keys to the

pressions of footprints were dis
covered by investigating officers
as well as some fingerprints on
the window.

Cherrians to
Keep Active
Organization
The Cherrians will continue
stronger than ever" was the re
solve decided upon at a meeting
of group Monday evening. Some
50 members were present to de
cide the fate of the organiza
tion. King Bing Paul Stege had sent
an appeal to the membership
earlier in the week suggesting that
they come to the meeting "to
watch the funeral or birth of the
Salem Cherrians." Earlier diffi
culties in getting the organiza
tion to "work as a whole" was said
to be the reasoning behind this
decision.
Also at the meeting of a new set
of by-laws was adopted and a
resolve to make the group one of
100-per-cent active membership
in the future. All the present
members at the meeting became
active and it is to be left to the
discretion of members not pres
ent whether they want to go on an
inactive list and lose their voting
power or become active.
The Cherrians accented bids to
attend the Stayton Bean Festival
Aug. 1 and the Newberg Farmeroo
Aug. 0 at which time they will
enter their marching group in
competition.
