Crop Prospects Throughout Dis

Growers; Increase In Barley
Acreage Is Noted By Fletch

Crop prospects unexcelled in years
w ere reported today by prom inent
grow ers and others representing all
p hases
of agriculture
activity
throughout this d istrict. An open win
ter, with Ideal spring w eather, and
indication.» of a continuance of good
conditions, form the basis for th e op
tim istic predictions.
G row ers w ere agreed th a t th e re
cen t early m orning frosts have dons
no harm , due to th tre lightness and
th e fact th a t fru it buds are not suffi
ciently developed as yet to be sus
ceptible to frost injury. In fact, from
present indications th ere Is no crop
grown In the county which will have
a bad season th is year, the agricul
tu ris t said.
Fall grain Is looking especially
good. County A gricultural Agent O. 9.
F letch er reported. In som e cases, he
said, the heavy rain s of th ree weeks
ago resulted in a yellowness in the
grain, but .It* now appears th a t the
crops will m ake a com plete recovery
from this damage.
More Barley Planted.
In his inspection trips about the
county. A gent F e tch e r has noted a
decided increase In th e acreage d >
voted to barley planting th is year,
a t th e expense of the acreage In oats.
T he reason, he said, seem s to be tbe
heavier yield per acre th a t Is assu red
from barley. H annchen variety, ap
proved as favorable to clim atic con
ditions here .Is being grown m ost ex
tensively and m ost of th e new acre
age |s devoted to th is crop.
W heat, barley and hay a re looking
fine, W elby Stevens, grow er of the
Springfield d istric t declared. He »so
stated th a t prospects are good for a
bum per crop in walnuts, from which
grow ers a y ear ago got little re tu rn s
due to the heavy freexe of m idw inter.
1924. “E verything Is favorable." said
Mr. Stevens, "and th e re are Indica
tions th a t this will be the best sea
son for farm ing in several y ears.”
Creswell Crops Good.

form er president of the Lane C ounty

he reported. F ru it In th a t d istrict

S tew art, m anager of the Seavey yard,
said th is m orning th a t w eather condi
tions have been so favorable th a t
good crops are believed assured. From
the appearance of roots and vines,
how ever, th e hops th is y e a r will
probably not be very large, he said.
P ractically all h ep grow ers a re
