Marion county ccgeal tour held yesterday. Unusually heavy stem and leaf growth has resulted from the above normal rainfall and cool temperatures since planting time and ground moisture should be plentiful enough to carry the crop along to big yields according to Hollis Ottaway, Marion county agent. Some lodging has occurred in nearly all small grain fields. The flattening is most common in bar ley grown on better soil types to which commercial fertilizers have beei. added but Dr. Wilson Foote, professor of farm- crops at Ore gon State college, said a little shriveling of kernels on the down stalks would be about the only damage resulting. A - Use of 40 to 80 pounds of phosphorOLS fertilizer applied at planting time has given greatly enlarged plant growth with in creased yield - prospect of 690 to 700 pounds per acre in field trials at the Boyd Brown farm near Hubbard. The plots are on high grade Amity type soil. The Oregon State college ex periment station staff has set up a number of cereal variety plots in Oregon to familiarize farmers with growth and yield character istics of small grains under local conditions. At the Corvallis sta tion nursery, 30 spring wheat, 45 spring barley and a like number of spring oat varieties are being grown. The group observed ten plots Although iron was once used exclusively forthe cores of electro-magnets, silicon steel now is widely used.

Also . In the plots were two Swedish varieties Herta and Rika, which are the most widely grown barleys in Europe. Foote did not recommend growing of six row barleys in the Willamette valley because of the chance of crossing with two row Hannchen to the detriment of the favorable market position it now has. ' ' Wheat growers in the party were impressed with excellent heads and straw growth of Ideal Merit, a rust resistant hybrid de veloped in Idaho. A local strain called Yamhill, developed by Wes Redmond in Yamhill county, also looked promising. Foote noted that both the standard varieties, White Holland and Zimmerman, were too long of stem for efficient threshing. : It was brought out that oat breeders of the middle west have made considerable , progress in shortening the - stem of best varieties grown here. Attention was called to Winoma variety which because of its small leaves is recommended for sowing as a nurse crop with legumes. Root rot which has caused some trouble in grain fields this year, is caused by Inroads of an ob scure soil microorganism accord ing to Foote. Experimental work on it has been hampered because the disease, is not prevalent In successive seasons. More than one-tenth of the to tal agricultural income In Marlon county comes from small grains. Soil types observed on the tour were mostly Amity silty elay or Amity silty loam of which there are 74,500 acres in the county, a little more than 13 per cent of the total area. $5(f CASH Given Away WED.
