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.
