Mr. HOP YIELD ON DIXSON FARM The hop yield on the ten acres of the L. W. Dixson farm in Columbia district shows promise of being the greatest yet. This year Mr. Dixson removed all pollenizer plants and ex pects to produce seedless hops which will bring a better market price. This can be done only when the hop yard is at least four miles from another yard. Picking will start about August 5th, at which time at least 90 peo- pie will be employed in the harvest, The vines are now heavy and the burr is setting on at a rate which may produce ten tons of hops from the ten acre field. The Dixson yard was trellised this year in order to support the older and heavier vines. The hop yard is three years old. Last year it produced five tons and seven hun dred pounds of hops and it is pre dieted that the production will be five and one-half tons this year. Mr. Dixson is being financed by B. S. Kingsley of Hermiston, He farms 22 acres, 15 of which is in hay. and one acre in squash. He milks six head of cows and has 30 head of hogs. Crops are looking ex ceptionally fine. Mr. Dixson says.

The Carson poultry business is the oldest within the Hermiston and neighboring areas. Mr. and Mrs. Sam Carson located at Irrigon in 1904, where they lived until 1911, when Mr. Carson took the contract of leveling and planting to orchard the Tabor ranch in the northeast corner of the Umatilla project where they spent three years. They then bought the place two miles northwest of Hermiston on the river where they spent nearly 20 years. In 1933 they bought the 15 acres just west of town which is one of the most beautiful spots in this vi cinity. During all this period they have had chickens. They started with 15 purebred Barred Rocks and at one time had 1200 of this class. Mrs. Carson states that they bought their strain from Professor James Dryden of O. S. C. and have never changed from this fine line of birds. Professor Dryden was the pro- ducer of the first 300 egg hen in Oregon and the Oregon hen. crossed from White Leghorns and Plym- outh Rocks is the work ot his great study at O. S. C. The Carsons still send to the Dryden ranch in Cali- fornia, now operated by the late Professor Dryden’s son. for their breeding cockerels paying as high as *25 per bird, and buying at least three cockerels each year. These they cross from selected hens of their flock for the cockerels for their entire flock. The Carsons raise only hatching eggs which line of business they have followed for years. Every hen is purebred and mated with pure- bred roosters. They have a year round contract with J. R. McGuire of Portland who inspects the flock every year and takes all eggs produced. This inspec- tion includes’all diseases and cul ling of all weak types. The Carsons receive ten cents per dozen and all shipping coats above the regular market price. The eggs are used by McGuire for hatching day old chicks and for shipment to other hatcheries. Prof, Cosby has pronounced the Carson flock the best in eastern Oregon. They now have 1200 young birds from which they expect to select 500 pullets this fall. Mrs. Carson says that during the period of years they have sold eggs for as low as eight cents per dozen and as high as 75 cents per dozen. They do not attempt to secure over 50 percent production because of importance of health and vitality to hatching eggs. She does not urge this way as better than producing eggs for the regular market, as high grade production requires much additional expense. At two years old, most of the hens are sold to the market. Some hens had laid well at eight years of age. The Carsons also have, during the period, hatched and sold great numbers of baby chicks and one season made the neat sum of *2000 by this method. They have sold broilers and in practically every form of operating have carried on the business these 32 years in this locality. Marbles to Cleveland, Or. and Mrs. A. E. Marble left Tuesday morning for Cleveland, Ohio, where Dr. Marble will attend the national Townsend club conven tion as a delegate from the local club.
