A new stiff-strawed, high- yielding grey winter oat has been released by the Oregon State college agricultural exper iment station according to F E. Price, dean and director of ag riculture. The new; oat, named Crater, is adapted to Southern Oregon and areas in the Willamette Valley where lodging of fall oats is a problem, Wilson Foote, OSC agronomist, said. He emphasized that the outstanding characterist- is of Crater is its strength of straw. In experiment station trials at Oregon City, Corvallis, and Med ford, Crater has consistently stood up better than the com monly used Grey Winter oat during years when lodging was severe. The winter oat is the result of a cross of the Fulghum and Custis varieties made by the U.S. department of agriculture Foote says at least 2000 pounds of Crater seed should be available for use by growers this fall. Farmers interested in ob taining seed of the new oat should contact their local coun ty agent. The person who says he doesn’t care what anybody thinks about him is a liar or a bum. “Keep Oregon Green.” Citizen Soldiers Undergo Training The 2nd Battalion, 413th In fantry Regiment, commanded by Major Robert A.
