HARD FEDERATION WHEAT GROWN HERE A SUCCESS
SATURDAY, AUGUST 15, 1925

1
Conclusion of an experiment
with hard federation wheat from
eastern Oregon on tho ranoh of M
H. Utter, route 6, about six mile?
eant of Salem on the penltentinry
road, has shown such marked sue
cchs with the tryout that It may
revolutionize entirely the growing
of miring wheat In tho valley, and
materially enhance the genera!
yield as well as its value, accord
ing to Charles R. Archerd, who
Bet the experiment under way.
Archerd sent into eastern Ore
gnn for 0 pounds of the hard
Federation wheat, on advices from
sound headed old ranchers there
that this was tho best of tho Apiinu
wheats for valley conditions and
should be tested out hero.
Quick J rowing Wheat
The services of Mr. Utter were
enlisted in making tho experiment
and he selected four and one-half
acres of ground on his ranch to try
It out. He picked out ground tnai
was between clover sod and oats
bo there would be no chance of any
other wheat getting mixed into
the yield. The ground was reason
ably low. ma;:lng It extremely fav
orable as an experimental plot, but
not extra favorable as to yield con
dltlons.
Tho wheat was, sowed on March
7, It headed out In May and on
Jul 4 was ready to harvest. But.
purposely, tho wheat was allowed
to stand untouched for two weeks
after It had reached a stage ready
for threshing In order to determine
Jf It would shatter. After the two
weeks period the wheat was dead
ripe, but did not shatter a bit. and
even did not shutter In handling.
3.1 IliishflH To Arm
On threshing the wheat went 35
bushels to the aero nnd is about
as pretty a yield as one would care
to look at. It is safe to assort,
from samples taken at random,
that tho wheat will test out 99.9
per cent pure, with now and then
an Oat hull visible, but aside from
that no foreign matter. It Is even
possible tho oat hulls wero gather
ed Into tho wheat from tho mach
ine. The wheat goes 64 pounds to the
bushel. The seed is being certi
fied by the Oregon Agricultural
eollcgo with tho statement that It is
tho finest federation wheat they
havo ever seen. A total of about
1110 bushels were taken from the
planting.
Use It For Seeding
Tho plan Is to divldo thin up Into
10 bushel lets and distribute It to
farmers In various sections of t'.tc
Salem district, getting It Into vari
ous sections, .soils and growing eon

Portland, Aug. 15 The hop mar
ket la allowing a considerable de
gree of strength, but not of actlv
lty. A fairly good demand has ue
veloped for new crop contracts
with buyers offering 20 cents foi
fuggles and 18 cents for the mui
crop. They have not had mucl
success as yet In Interesting grow
era at incae prices.
Crop conditions onthe coiiwt in
the main or good. The govern
ment cmimate of the Oregon yield,
made this month, Is for 11,172,000
pounus, as against 10,119,000
pounds, estimated a month ago.
Last year the same authorities guv
Oregon 12,000,000 pounds.
Tho crop forecast for Washing
ton Is 4,009,000 pound, as com
pared with the July estimate
4,257,000 pounds. Hops In the
Yakima valley are doing quite well
but the western Washington crop
was reduced by unfavorable tveath
er last inontn.
The California eron Is now plac
ed at 8,859,000 pounds, as against
7,987,000 In July. Tho Increase In
estimates for Oregon nnd Califor
nia more than offset the decrease
in Washington.
The present strength of the mnr
ket Is attributed largely to tho for
eign crop situation. London ad
vices indicates that the English
crop will be about 375,000 hundred
weight, as compared with a yield
of 508,000 hundredweight In 1924
The continent, according to some
reports received, will bt one-third
short of last year.
