Engineer Working
On Curbing Plans
Plans are being prepared by

City Recorder Arden Pinkham
reported that the petition has
been presented at the city hall.
City officials are working with
Kent Blackhurst, city attorney,
in an attempt to speed up legal

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.”
