Newspaper Page Textf Page 6 Heppner Gazette Times, Thursday, January 24, 1957 Record Vegetable Crop Harvested In Oregon in 1956 Almost ideal weather helped Oregon growers harvest a record crop of vegetables for processing last year, according to Steve Marks, extension agricultural economist at Oregon State col lege. Value of vegetable crops har vested for processig totaled $21.5 million almost a third more than the year before, Marks says. Oregon's outturn of nine of the 10 main vegetable crops grown for processing weighed close to 300 million tons. This is about 40 percent more than was grown in 1955 and considerably above average. While the acreage in the state planted to vegetable crops was somewhat larger than the year before, Marks says the increased production in 1956 came mainly from higher average yields. Largest yield Increases over the previous year were found In green peas, up 125 percent over 1955; sweet corn, with an increase of about two-thirds; and cucumbers which were up 60 percent. National production of vege table crops for processing also set new records. More than 8 million tons of vegetables, with a record farm value of $315 mil lion, were sold for canning and freezing. Oregon ranked third among the states in value of vegetables pro duced for processing. California topped the list followed by Wis consin, Oregon, New Jersey and Washington. o Oregon Farm Products Sales Up 3 in 1956 Farmers have more money In their pockets this year, according to U. S. department of agricul ture statisticians. And Oregon farmers are sharing in these higher Incomes, reports Mrs. El vera Horrell, extension agricul tural economist at Oregon State college. She says sales of farm pro- CN. OVER 8 UNDER THE SEA NAVY FROGMEN fpERFORM MANY DANGEROUSl IJASKS.

ONLY THE BEST MAKE THE TEAM ducts in Oregon from January through September of 1956 show an increase of 3 percent compared with the same months in 1955. Farmers took In more money from both crops and livestock, with larger marketings of both more than offsetting the lower average prices farmers received In 1956. Nationwide, Mrs. Horrell said farm income turned up after four years of decline. The realized net income of the nation's far mers, based on the first nine months of 1956, was 4 percent above that of 1955. Mrs. Horrell thinks soil bank payments had a hand in swelling the 1956 total. In general, the nation's farmers came up with a crop production that equalled the highs set in 1948 and 1955. And Mrs. Horrell reports this was done with the 4-H Club Nero GAY LITTLE COOKERS The Gay Little Cookers held a meeting Jan. 12 at the home of our leader.
