PLAYERS FROM GERMANY GIVE ROUND-UP TO SHOW COVERED WAGONS THREE LOCAL 4-H CLUBS HOLD MEETING O.5.C. Advises Farmers To Feed Oregon Counfie* Urged To Pro- tect And Encourage Tourist Crop Oregon’s largest "annual” crop is the revenue received from tourists. This revenue Is estimated to have reached the staggering figure of over thirty million dollars in 19 <9. During the same year the hay rais ed In Oregon was valued at 28 1-2 million dollars, wheat at 25 1-2 mil lion. while the entire fruit crop of the state was valued at 24 1-2 mil lion. These latter figures are given us by the U. S. department of agri culture and represent Oregon’s three most valuable agricultural crops. Livestock too is of major Import ance to this state, amounting to ap proximately 71 million dollars last year. These figures includes poul try products also. The state makes every effort to protect sad develop the hay, wheat, fruit sad livestock Industry. BUT IT MAKES NO EFFORT WHATSOEVER TO DEVELOP THE TOURIST IN DUSTRY WHICH FORMS OUR GREATEST ANNUAL CROP. Other states hays departments of exploita tion whose business is to see that tourist business is adequately cared for and that attractive publicity mat ter is mads available to the potential tourist. Probably tho most outstanding example of government and state co operation is Canada, where the Dom inion government eater* the field cf exploiting Canada’s recreational ad vantages in a big way, but their ef fort is ably seconded and followed up by the individual provinces, each of which has a department of publicity efficiently operated and amply fin anced. Oregon prides herself on being a tourist state. Oregon business de pends on tourist travel for a respect able percentage of revenue. The stor ied Northwest has a distinct appeal for the motor traveler as is evidenced by the increasing number of touriste who visit us, yet all this tourist busi ness 4s without any state encourage ment. No state official watches over the conditions which will make our guest’s visit to <{s more enjoyable. No state aid is given to private enter prise In originating and developing additional tourist travel. No state officer Is the official host charged with the responsibility of seeing that our guests are accorded the courteous hospitality on which we pride our selves. The state needs such a department. The state needs exploitation. Oregon should have for this industry the same measure of potection and do relouaient that she has for her other major industries. The story of Ore gon will beqr telling. We should have capable representation In the keen competition which has devel oped for the tourist patronage. Wheat Instead O f Barley To Hogs Ground wheat has practically the same feeding valuo, pound for pound, as barley, and Oregon farmers can profitably turn their cheap wheat into high priced pork— providing 4hey have the hogs, says A. W. Oliver, assistant professor of animal husban dry at Oregon State college. “While records of the animal hus bandry department over the 20-year period since 1910 show an average loss of 28 cents per 100 pounds of wheat fed to hogs over what the market price would have brought, the ration Is now very favorable for converting wheat Into pork.” said Oliver. “The difficulty Is in gett ing feeder pigs, since their product ion is from 6 to 9 per cent below normal. Rome are being shipped to Oregon from the middle west, but even an average crop In the corn belt, demands there are likely to take care of the hog surplus.” Wheat, like barley, needs to be supplemented with some protein feed such ns skim milk, tankage, fish meal or buttermilk, as well as a certain amount nt legume hay, clover or al falfa pasture, to give the hogs «• balanced ration, says Oliver. Representatives of the meal pack ers, stock buyers, commission men and retal’crs of the northwest also endorsed the plan of feeding wheat to hogs at a rcicpt meeting in Port land. The north /»«*. they said, does i not produce pork e.iough to supply i its own needs so farmers ran do a double favor by feeding the low pric ed wheat to good priced hogs. In this way a serious situation for the grain grower may be relieved to some extent, tlieir grain transformed into i marketable commodity, a market ruptured by home producers, and a nice profit realized. More than 2200 tests on the pur ity and germination of Oregon’s seed rop made during the past year by the seed testing laboratory at Ore gon State college, indicates that the crop is exceptionally free from nox ious weeds. Among the major seed crops in this Industry, which brings an an nual Income of about <150,000,000 •re Ladino clover, red clover, rye grass, alfalfa, creeping bent grass and vetch. Of the tests run last year, nearly 400 were on Ladino clover seed Indicating the increasing popularity of this crop in the state. Alfalfa ranked next with 250 sam ples tested followed by red clover with 200. The remaining 1300 or .noro samples included every seed •rop 1 msglnable and ranged all the vay from celery to Douglas fir seed. Noxious weeds which make the crop legally unsalable were found in only small amounts In relative ly few samples. Dodder, Canada thistles and quack grass were the chief offenders in this class. Bach elor buttons were the most common weed steds found in Willamette val ley seed crops. These are easily re- r,overt by cleaning, the college weed specialists sa».
