Valley News Statesman Newt Service Linn County Not Disaster Area, County, Groups Say "poor stands" in these crops ace expected by. spring, and some fields will probably be taken out. asteYtrea?At'1e By LILLIE L. MADSEN Farm Editor, The Statesman SCIO-LInn 'County isn't - a dis- opinion of the Linn County Agricul tural Committees,- which include both farm crops and horticulture. There has been damage, however, and just how much will not be known until later this spring. , ''But our committees feel very definitely," Merle 7M a n njng, Brownsville, chairmatn of the agri cultural committees, said "that damage was not severe enough to have Linn County listed as a dis aster area." - The committees" reports ahow flint 4knl urn lAma frAAVAJUlt of late sown common ryegrass and pasture mixtures on the valley floor, and fall sown grains and, pasture mixtures on the hill soils. The agricultural committee esti mates that about 20 per cent of the 60,000 acres of common ryegrass in the county was late sown thii past year and of this about 10 per cent has been frozen out. This would indicate around 1,200 lost. AH early seeded common ryegrass is re ported as looking good. Blessing la Disguise "But actually." said' Manning, "some of us almost look on the freeze, so far as ryegrass is con cerned, as a blessing in disguise. We've been staging a campaign to Arf.11iA III suvintn Kximttra cf Ituuvs MIC vmiilliuil I jvi Mia aavav- age in the county. We hoped to get it down about 30 per cent. In 1935 we harvested seed from 77,000 acres. For 1956, approximately 60, 000 acres were seeded for harvest. The November freeze cut this re duction another 1,200." Scio was one of the most badly damaged areas. Others listed as among the more badly damaged communities are Lyons, Lacomb, Sweet Home and Holley. In these areas considerable damage oc curred to fall sown grains, and pastures mixtures, too. Wheat seemed to have been the most hardy of the fall grains. Lnokinf Good However, the committee mem- twri reruirt that fall cown vstrhpn and peas are also looking good. They won't continue to look this way, unless slug baits are used, the men said Monday- Slugs are making their appearance in these crops and are doing considerable damage. Sheepmen In Linn County, and particularly in the heavy Scio sheep country, said that perennial grasses and common ryegrass are now recovering sufficiently to fur- tiich lAmi annA nAstnr Shnrtlv after the heavy November freeze, the sheepmen reported consider able worry because of loss of pas ture. They had to dip deeply into -the hay supply. , Optimism Shown The horticultural members of the committee were expressing con siderable optimism, a feeling not shared in much of the Willamette Valley fruit lands. Victor Haffner, Harrisburg, said that his group did not feel that damage to nut trees, strawberries,-cane berries, trailing dcitifs ami jtcjjjci iiinii was "too extensive." Some loss was admitted in car " rots and sugar-jM?ets as well as cabbage for seed'Peppermint roots already weakened by rust will, the - committee believed, show further damage as spring advances.
