Changing Crops
Portland, (JP A recent Ore

changes are . being made in
planting this year. -
Farmers in some areas are
plowing under their grass crops
and turning to grain produc
tion This probably is due to the
government ending its price
support program for .certain
seed crops.
Hop yards and filbert or
chards in some sections also are
being plowed under. - '
Big crops are expected this
year in both livestock and crop
production because of the mild

Hampton Family Baffled
Often, But Going to Win
By BOB LINDLEY
Guayaaull. Ecuador U.B
Two days before the end of
last year, an Oregon farm fam
ily of nine came to Ecuador
to settle on 1 the 5,190-acre
hacienda they had bought for
$8,000.
"We were ready to make a
million or lose' everything,1
Lewis Wearner Hampton said
a few days ago in QuayaqiL
xne Hamptons' first expert
ences in Ecuador convinced
them they would lose every
thing. , -
At the start there was the
difficulty in getting their farm
machinery past customs,
We were disgusted." said
Mrs. Hampton frankly,
But the customs officials
were finally placated.
Transportation Difficult
Next was the difficulty In
transporting the machinery to
tne virgin forest on Ecuador's
coast, between Balzar and
Quevedo, where the hacienda
is located. The Quevedo-Man-
ta highway runs only a few
miles from the Hampton land,
but Is still under construction
and not usable most of the
time.
Finally there was the un
usually wet winter.
Thus the Hamptons, their
six sons a&d daughters and
the wife of the oldest son were
in strati e land with little
prospect of earning a livlna-.
Hampton, 91, has farmed for
3D years, the last 10 east of
Salem, Ore.', and Mrs. Hamp
ton, 48, writes articles on farm
subjects. But experience and
knowledge seemed no match
for Ecuador's obstacles.
They could not build a saw
mill as they had planned be
cause of the difficulty In
transporting their portable
saws, tractor, electrical plant
and- other equipment. And
without a sawmill they could
not build a house.
Sees New Bounty
Their first disappointment
was temporary, however. Aft
er exploring the hacienda,
Farmer Hampton saw for
himself the bounty of the
, forest which' he had
only
beard about before.
Without cultivation, Celbo
trees which yield the fabric
kapok were growing in abun
dance. Also there were rub
ber trees and various kinds
of fruits everywhere.
There was animal life, too:
Wild boars, wild turkeys and
monkeys.'
Already Hampton has very
definite plans for the future.
He will cultivate a grove of
Celbo trees, which will give a
harvest of fiber in five years.
He will cultivate the rubber
trees, plant rice and sugar
cane, grow : pineapple plants,
cherry trees, vegetable and
other plants and trees com
mon in the United States.
He will also bnirg from
Oregon a kind of goat famous
tor its . milk-giving capacity.
i wo years ago the Hamptons
gave 65 such goats to Japan
to neip feed Its war orphans.
Market Accessible
The Hamptons will have no
worries about getting their
produce to market which
means to Guayaquil, the only
sizeable seaport in this small
south American country on
we equator. When the Que
vedo-Manta highway a fin,
isbed, they can transport it by
land. In summer at least. In
winter they can take it hv
ooat aown tne JJaule river.-
1 PerhanS to the Hamntnm1
former neighbors In Oregon,
8,190 acres sounds more like a
township than a sinsle estate.
but in Ecuador there are many
haciendas as big or bigger. Most
are cultivated only In small
pari ana Dy nana. - They are
waiting for the necessary ma
chinery and willing manpower
which would allow them to
produce on a large scale.
Letters Ask Prospects
Tne Hamptons have received
many letters from North Amer
icans who want to know the
prospects in Ecuador. Hampton
says that economically and ag
riculturally Ecuador would be
hard to beat.
Mr. anl Mrs. Hampton are
going back to Oregon this
