Peas, Vetch
Profit From
Cool Spring
. 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.
Smoke did the most damage at
the Trade Street fire at 12:55 a. mi.
where an overheated stove pipe
in the chimney caused smoke to
back into the house. Ventilators
were used to clear the housei,
which is occupied by Frank
Hutchinson.
