Farm Leadership, Three times a day feeding has Though far down the list of states in total farm production, Oregon leads the nation in output of a siz able list of food products, points out E. H. Wiegand, head of the de partment of food technology at O.S.C., in a major article in Recla mation Ere, magazine published by the department of the interior. Oregon ranks first in the produc tion of winter peas, filberts, logan berries, youngberries, boysenberries, black raspberries and gooseberries, and takes second place with straw berries, red raspberries, walnuts, prunes and sweet cherries, Wiegand states. Production of these and other food crops is closely linked to the food processing industry, Wiegand emphasizes. He shows how the production and processing of these perished crops have grown together, making possible invasion of distant markets otherwise closed by high shipping costs. “Oregon, recognized as the source of high quality foods, has long been a key state in the processing indus try,” Wiegand wrote. “The long growing season plus a wide choice of products and comparative free dom from crop failures have made it possible for Oregon producers and processors to compete at a low er cost. . . With the world food si tuation what it is today, there is every indication that the processing industries will grow even more extensively.” How research by the O.S.C. ex' périment station in his department has helped advance the processing industry in this state is mentioned by the author. A striking example was the development of a huge brined cherry industry directly from research in the department under- tanen at the request of growers in 1925. It now is a $7,000,000 enter prise in this state. Research is continuous in the problems of canning, freezing, de hydration and brining, as well as in utilization of waste products. Pre liminary experiments in utilization of surplus filberts have developed filbert butter, oil, flour and press cake. Under study also is a process for making methane gas from pear waste.

After receiving the shipment he wrote his gratitude, adding that “Your great country not only has saved many million Europeans from starvation but also helped in many other ways.
