Actual Average and High Yields with Prices to Match as They Were Collected From Prac
tical Growers in 1920 for the Capital Journal The Low Averages Are Grand and the
High-Gear Possibilities Have a Golden Ring or Will Have In Coming Years!
By RICHARD L. ROWE
During the spring; of 1920 the writer made inquiries of "real dirt" farmers of this vicinity about how the lands
had been found to yield crops, according to their own experience. Those men were among the progressive growers of
this and Polk county. Some of them were regarded as approaching the expert class, and they took pains to gel at
the correct results we were looking for.
The prices then were at the World War peak, and had been high for several years. But the figures for averages
per acre and per unit were what those farmers thought ought to stand as reasonable rates from year to year. Doubtless
the deflation values of 1921, 1922 and 1923 were below what they would have expectd.
Still, the producing power of the land, in quantities in the hands of real farmers, who use their heads as well as
their hands, is a fair guide to what thorough cultivation will do in the good soils of these counties. It should be added
that those men believed in and practiced adaptation of crops to soils. They ridiculed the ways of slouch farmers who
planted any crops of trees on any old soil. Here is Table Seven, that will be something of a guide to growers, and
act 83 information for people who want to know what this Marion county land can do:
TABLE 7 Trlco to Farmers ' Cash Roturns Per A wo
Yield Per Acre Per Aore Unit Low Averages.
Average. High Average. Hish. Per Aore. On 19 Acrea
Gooseberries, tons 4 G $200 ton $300 $800 $8,000
Strawberries, tons 2 ' 4 320 ton 600 640 6,400
Loganberries, . tons 3 5 320 ton 480 960 9,600
Cherries, tons 1.5 4.5 320 ton 400 480 4,800
Prunes, tons 3 8 120 ton 240 360 3,600
Apples, boxes 100 300 2 box S 200 2,000
Grapes, tons 1 3 120 ton 200 120 1,200
Raspberries, tons 2 4 480 ton 720 960 9,600
Peaches, tons 3 10 50 ton 100 150 1,500
Beans (dry) tons , 0.25 .5 200 ton 240 50 500
Potatoes, tons 5 7.5 8o ton 200 400 4,000
Onions (dry) sacks 200 300 1 sack 1.50 200 2,000
Cabbage, tons 10 12 50 ton CO 500 5,000
Undoubtedly, beans, potatoes, onions and cabbage now sell for much higher prices than the average quoted in the
table. It will be seen that a ten-acre farm at that time wo uld have earned in yearly gross a minimum of $6,400 in
strawberries; $9,600 in loganberries; $4,800 in cherries; $2,000 in apples; $1,200 in grapes and $9,600 in raspberries.
Potatoes were good for $4,000 on ten acres, onions for $2,000 and cabbage for $5,000.
Undoubtedly, some of those ten-acre totals can be reali zed now in this county by high-class cultivation. And the
quantity yields show that no reasonable claim for the soils of this region would be too high. Grand, big crops are
practicable; as the financial conditions brace up gradually, there will be real money in them for good farmers.
Ask the Chamber of Commerce
There will be a lot of detailed information that readers abroad want in order to supplement the expositions pre
sented in this edition of the Capital Journal. For such additional facts write to the Salem Chamber of Commerce, or
if in this vicinity, call at the Chamber offices and see Secretary Wilson. Visitors who have their own automobiles can
inspect the surrounding country at will, using hotels or auto-camps at pleasure. Automobiles can be hired, and much
of the country can be viewed from the numerous auto-buses which connect all principal towns and cities of this valley
with frequent trips. Steam and electric trains are also operated to the leading city centers, several times each day.
These trips will make up an interesting outing if no other sightseeing is attempted. People can look around with
surprising comfort on the way and at every stop.
There is plenty of good land to be had in this county and valley for those who have some capital to take hold of
it the time has passed almost everywhere in America when settlers could start on almost no capital and build up
with the country. Those who intend to cultivate land ought to have at least $2,000, even for small farms, and $3,000
will be more safe and liable to assure success. They should find the soils adapted to the products they mean to grow,
and size up all factors of the undertaking. Fanners of skill and experience will be glad to give newcomers information.
ADVANCING INDUSTRIAL INTERESTS
The cooperative advertising of Oregon-made goods
of all kinds i3 one of the principal objects of the
Associated Industries of Oregon, which represents
about half of the diversified manufacturing plants of
the state. It is a progressive organization, headed
by nine directors who give a lot of their time to the
problems of payrolls inthis state. The organization
ever is striving to advance the interests of industries
upon the practical basis that the best way to
encourage more industries in the state is to assist
those that are now here in making a success.
Eastern manufactured goods for years have
practically dominated in the Oregon market. It is
high time that public attention be turned to the
question of developing more industries that make
staple goods of equal or superior quality and at the
same price. Coast communities were dependent upon
the Middle West and East for many years for so
many of the necessities that the habit of buying
foreign goods became strongly intrenched.
But this situation has witnessed a great change
and other changes are now in progress. Oregon is
become a producer State and the skill and courage of
pioneer manufacturers have demonstrated that
many lines can be and are being manufactured here
and distributed eastward.
"Why shouldn't we stimulate within ourselves a
spirit of patriotism for Oregon industries and pro
ducts," says Dan C. Freeman, manager of the As
sociated Industries. "This spirit brought to the
fore at all times and places will fill the visitor with
enthusiasm for the state and for its products, and
this means additional prosperity to every Oregon
community. We can tell the world that we excell In
the quality of our products and in this repeated tell
ing we can convince the world it is true.
"Every community in the state, particularly or
chardists, farmers, dairymen and stock raisers, will
be directly benefited by the growth of a large indus
trial population. This is an economic fact which
cannot be denied. Many of the products from the
soil,, though they are produced in great abundance,
cannot be transported long distances to markets in
the great centers of population. Many of these
things will have to be consumed nearer the source of
supply.
"The more general use of Oregon-made goods is
spreading itself over the state. Both consumrs and
dealers are coming to realize that one of Oregon's
most srious economic problems, that of employment
for the workers, can be solved through the encour
agement and support for the factories now operat
ing in Oregon, and making numerous things for
which $50,000.00 a day is being sent to the east."
