O’Brien, long noted for his per-

has one that gives him heart-warm

in "The Last Trail” he really—if

Field inspection of the 1934 grass
and clover seed crops, small grains
and potatoes and other crops for
certification is now under way
throughout the state, reports from
county agents and extension service

ire made to determine purity, true-
aess to variety, freedom from nox-
ous weeds and seed borne diseases
nd other points.
This crops certification service
has been of major importance in aid
ing Oregon farmers to build up a
reputation as producers of high

vice director of the extension ser-
I vice. It has been largely responsible
for the growth of the small seed
production business of the state

seed of this giant white elover is

many states. Bent grass seed produc
tion. another development of re-
cent years In Oregon, has also been
materially aided by certification,
and this state now produces appro

seed supply of this grass.
Grain certification work was car

of wheat, oats and barley last year,
according to a report by E. R. Jack

addition 4,050 acres of alfalfa. La

acres of potatoes in 16 counties also
received certification.

STRAWBERRY TESTS POINT
TO BETTER NEW VARIETIES
Results of this year's work in
strawberry breeding at the Oregon
State college experiment station are
highly encouraging to those who
have been endeavoring to get Ore
gon growers better commercial pre
serving and canning strawberry
varieties, reports George F. Waldo,
U.S.D.A, specialist working in co
operation with the Oregon station.
Farmers who visited the berry
plots this year during the various
field days saw more than 5000 seed
ling plants that had never before
fruited, and saw hundreds of others
held over from previous years for
further testing.
Waldo now à reports that from
those that fruited this year for the
first time he was able to select 96
that showed enough promise for
continued testing.
To hold its place as an important
canning and preserving center in
the strawberry industry, Oregon
needs a variety that is better than
the Marshall for the preserving
trade, and one that is better in some
respects than either the Ettersburg
or the Corvallis for the canning
trade, says E. H. Wiegand, head of
the work in horticultural products

For commercial preserving the
trade demands a bright red berry of
medium size with bright yellow
seeds. One of the U.S.D.A. crosses

suited otherwise for this region. It
