NEW CROP IDEAS
VIEW ED AT BURNS
T he possibility of grow ing im ­
proved forage crops and ad ding to
the present list of cash crops in the
higher a ltitu d e regions of eastern
Oregon proved of g re a te st in te rest
to some 30o farm ers who atten d ed
the an n u a! field day a t the H arney
branch ex perim en t sta tio n a t Burns.
H erm an O liver of Jo h n

the day, w hile W alter Pierce, east-

hat has been done to encourage
-.mail seed crops and o th e r commo-
lltie s th a t are now im ported. He
aid he believes expansion of flax
seed production and su g ar beet rais-
ng are pro fitab le possibilities.
N early everyone
who atten d ed

plots of a creeping Tim othy, know n

foxtail and stra w b e rry clover were
two o th e r forage crops seen doing
well. The new w ilt-im m une alfa lfa
from County A gent R. G. L arson's
n u rsery in M alheur county Is doing
exceptionally well. Oregon now has
most of th e seed of th is new devel­
opm ent and should be able to . cash
in on its production.

th e division of p la n t In d u stries a t

dows have been flooded, hayed and
pastured co n tin u o u sly for years so
th a t m any are g iving sh o rt yields of
in d ifferen t q u ality forage. Some mea
dows will be plowed up and reseed­

grasses and legum es as th ey are, and

CORN DRYING M A Y
BOOST INDUSTRY
Field corn d ry in g in Oregon has
now been worked o u t on a p ractical
basis so th a t excess m oisture may be
removed from e ith e r e a r corn or
shelled corn before storage, accord­
ing to a research rep o rt by F. E.
P rice and Ivan B ran to n , a g ric u ltu r­
al engineers, w hich has ju st been
published in b u lletin form by the
Oregon experim ent statio n .
Oregon’s corn production is in a­
d equate to supply th e dem ands for
livestock and p o u ltry feed in th e
state, th e a u th o rs p o in t out.
Im ­
p o rtatio n s from o th e r sta te s or fo r­
eign co u n tries now ap p roxim ate
1000 car loads an n u ally . A lthough
good yields have been produced in
various sections of Oregon, p a rtic u ­
larly in M alheur county in th e east
and W illa m ette valley in th e w est,
high m oisture content, followed by
hum id w in te rs has served to re ta rd
developm ent of th e in dustry.
W h at corn has been produced in
Oregon has largely been used on the
farm s producing it, or sold locally,
as less th a n 1 per cent of 'the corn
inspected in P o rtlan d was from Ore-
;on counties. A t present ap p ro x i­
m ately 93 per cent of th e corn
grow n in Oregon is produced in the
region w est of th e Cascade m oun­
tains.
H um id w in ter
w eath er, ra th e r
th a n excessive m o istu re a t h arv est
tim e is th e chief h in d ran c e to corn
sto rag e in Oregon, th e OSC men
found. In th e m iddle west, corn is
n early as dam p a t h arv est tim e, but
colder w in te r w eath er m akes crib
sto rag e possible.
V arious types of ea r corn d riers
are discussed in th e b u lletin , in ­
clu d in g both n a tu ra l
and
forced
d ra ft d riers. T he Oregon ex p eri­
m ent sta tio n ear corn d rier has
forced d ra ft and w ill handle ap p ro x ­
im ately th ree tons of dry shelled
corn per day. The d ry in g tim e v a r­

and o th e r factors, ru n n in g from 24
to 40 hours. The shelled corn d rier
has an' o u tp u t v ary in g according to
