Malcolm, ac cording to those who have seen the movies, has accomplished what no other man has ever approached in packing whirl wind adventure into an unfor gettable historical record. Best Spring Grains For Eastern Oregon Recommended by OSC Prospects for . another heavy spring planting of feed grains in Oregon raises the question of which varieties are best suited for Eastern Orego. Rex Warren, Oregon State col lege farm crops specialist, picks Flynn 37 and Harlan as the best feed barley choices for the Colum bia basin where much of tre di verted wheat acreage during the past two years has gone to bar ley production. Harlan may be a little scarce this spring, War ren adds. Bonneville barley gets the nod for the Snake River-Malheur county area, and Hannchen re mains the top variety for the Klamath basin. Dual-purpose Hannchen is not only a good, high-producing feed grain but has the added advantage of be ing acceptable as brewing bar ley. For central Oregon, Warren names Hannchen for malting barley and Trebi or Bonneville for feed barley on Irrigated land. Federation Is again the best spring wheat variety for most of Eastern Oregon. Baart 46 is recommended for the Klamath basin. Statewide, spring plant fng intentions point to a 35 percent increase in spring wheat over last year. Warren points out, however, that spring varieties ac counted for only about 15 percent of Oregon's total wheat acreage last year. Carleton oats are picked for the Columbia basin, Shasta for cen tral Oregon, and Overland, Shas ta, Winema, and Markton oats of fer a big selection for the Kla math basin. U. S. 13 hybrid field corn gets top rating for the Columbia ba sin. Warren lists It as one of the better varieties for the Hermis ton "corn belt" where Irrigation and heavy nitrogen fertilizer programs are bringing 150-bushel yields to vie with traditionally high yields of Malheur county's long growing season. Idahybrid 544, Western 90 Day, or Idahybrid 680 are recommend ed corn varieties for the Malheur area.
