Central Oregon Tomatoes

planned by Stevens for winter
use. but there will also be other
vepetahiee, and varied flowers.
SThe new greenhouse, whlcn is
the talk of Redmond these days,
was erected by John Thompson, a
Portland greenhouse contractor,
Jwh'i it entry completed a struc
ture at the Chase gardens, in Eu

Stevens, a resident ol culver
'and a I'rnduate irom th Ited-
mom", union high school with trr
class of 1946,' got the idea fjr a
greenhouse in Redmond while
attet.d'iiK agricultural classes at
Oregon State college. He recog
nized the need for such a plant
in Central Oregon, but first de
cided to talk the matter over
with Gene Lear, county agent,
and Stanley Green, agriculture in
structor at the Redmond union
high school.. He also conferred
with business men, and the pro-
peal was enthusiastically re
ceived. It was then that Stevens
and his father, A. V. Stevens, Cul
ver, decided on the immediate
construction of the house.
The new Redmond greenhouse
Is near the railroad tracks and
just north of the Ochoco highway
through Redmond. It is within
the-city limits.
The greenhouse has a founda
tion of pumice blocks three feet
thick. Pumice is noted for its
insulation properties, and cer
tainly there will be no chill from
the ground. The rest of the in
door garden will be glass, with
two and a quarter tons used.
Long rows of heating pipes are
in place.
. A boiler has been ordered, and
will be installed by the time cold
weather arrives. Stevens is erect
ing living quarters at the rear
of the new plant.
3 English Boys
Visit Midstate
Three exchange students from
England, John Michalthorpe,
Tony Arnold and Malcomb Mar
shall, learned ways of an Oregon
stock ranch this summer, at the
C. M. Kennedy place on Trout

students have attended eastern
colleges.
The boys came west as guests
of Lane and George Barton, sons
of Bishop Lane W. Barton of the
Eastern Oregon Episcopal dio
cese, and Mrs. Barton of Bend.
The boys have left for a tour of
Canada, before returning home In

Chinese Pheasant
Raised in Field in
Novel Experiment
Game men of the western stat
es are watching- with more than
casual Interest an experiment of
raising Chinese pheasants in the
field. Instead of at game .farms.
Seven field-rearing projects are
being tried out this season. One
of the seven, and that which is re
ceiving the most attention, is in
Jefferson county, on the S. E.
Roberts place two miles south of
Culver.
The Culver project Is being su
pervised by LaVerne Brugger, of
the Oregon cooperative wildlife
research unit. Cooperating in the
research are the U.S. wildlife ser
vice, Oregon State college and
the Oregon state game commis
sion. Method Tested
Slightly under 3,000 birds are
being kept at the Culver "sta
tion," and field rearing is being
carried out by the, method tested
by the game commission last
year In Wasco county. Hens (do
mestic chickens of several varie
ties) are confined in coops that al
low free access for the small
"chicks." This gives the chicks
night protection, and at the same
time they are reared in a semi
wild state and can leave of their
own violition. .
The day-old chicks were receiv

They were "assigned" to the
mother hens, in 125 different
coops. After five days, Brugger
permitted the young pheasants to
roam at will, but kept the hens
in the coop. Each day, the birds
went farther and farther afield.
Every evening, however, the lit
tle birds fly back to their home
roosts.

novel sight, on their evening
flights homeward, with several
hundred in the air at the same
time. Late In July, Brugger re
moved the hens, and since then
the young birds have been on
their own.
The birds have been marked, so
their migrations or travels can be
studied. It is part of Bruggers"
job to keep a close check on the
young pheasants, so their habits
will be known. The hunting sea
son on the birds may not be open
ed on the North Unit until 1951.
The newly reclaimed lands,
with dry uplands sloping down to
green fields, is an ideal location
for the birds, Brugger reports.
Home Grains Used
Only locally grown grains
have been fed to the Culver birds.
This Is being done to guard
against the possible spread of
weeds that might be shipped Into
the area with grains from out
side points.
Other field rearing projects
are In operation near Wasco,
Fern ridge, Camas swale, -Harris-burg,
Summer lake and Enterprise.
