By LILLIE L. MADSEN Farm Editor, The Statesman Continued cool, wet weather this spring contrasted with the relatively dry weather last spring. has resulted in reports indicat ing a more favorable yield in prospect for peas and vetch this season, according to a week end release from the USDA, prepared by W. J. Fluke, agricultural sta tistician, i ' On the other hand,; Fluke con tinued, the reported eondltionof the common ryegrass crops In dicates growers do not believe the yield this year will equal the record of last year. Oregon seed producers intend to harvest a total of 168,000 acres of Austrian peas, vetch and com mon ryegrass for seed. This rep resents a 24-per cent decline from the 220,000 acres cut for seed last year and 33 per cent less than the past 10-year average. The indicated decline is large ly the result of unfavorably dry seeding conditions and an uncer tain market outlook for winter cover crop seeds last f alL Acreage Cat l- The intended 48,000 acres of hairy vetch for seed and the 20, 000 acres of common vetch are 30 and 33 per cent less than that cut for seed a year ago. The 15, 000 acres of Austrian peas, how ever, is 36 per cent larger, with some of the production likely to be used again as livestock feed. Crimson clover seed producers In Oregon have reported pros pects fer a harvest of 1,280,000 pounds of seed this year, or about one-half of the 2,625,000 pounds harvested last year. The decrease in production is largely the rel suit of a decline from 7,000 acres cut for seed last year to the 4,000 acres this year, and reduced yields because of unfavorable wet harvest conditions. A preharvest vetch survey on a national basis, shows the acre age about 20 per cent smaller this year than that harvested in 1952, but 12 per cent larger than the previous 10-year average. Drop in Oregon The sharpest drop - in -vetch acreaee- occured in Oregon, al though? acreage is down 18 per cent in Oklahoma compared with 1952, but the indicated acreage is still 70 per cent above the average A greatly increased production of crimson-clover seed in Tennes see more than offsets smaller crops in other states, including Oregon. The 1953 crop is estimat ed at only 2 per cent less than the record 1952 production, or about 61 per cent above the 10 year average. With the' supply of Austrian winter peas in excess of require ments in recent years, and much of the production being utilized for feed, interest in seed produc tion has declined. Acreage for ! harvest is indicated at 31,000 acres. - nationally, a reduction of 21 per cent from the acreage harvested last year and only about a third of average. Con dition of the crop is reported ex cellent in Oregon but unusually poor in. Idaho.- ' Two fires broke out within 10 minutes of each other in the city early Sunday morning, sending firemen to homes at 325 Jeffef son St. and 1890 Trade St Dam age was not extensive at either blaze. Firemen were called to the Jef ferson Street fire at 12:44 a.m. to the residence of Albert Ander son. A cigarette caught a mat tress afire, damaging it and the bed, firemen said.
