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.

each of barley, wheat and oats at
the Boh Clark farm near Hop-
mere. -
Hannchen barley, a variety
brought here from Sweden in
1900 and due to its high quality
the standard brewing barley
grown in the Willamette valley,
was quite badly lodged in the test
plot showing the need of the
variety for stronger straw to hold
it erect.
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.
