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

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

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

the conditions which will make our

state aid is given to private enter

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

•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

Noxious weeds which make the
crop legally unsalable were found
in only small amounts In relative
