WHEAT GROWERS
ASKED DATA ON

Because of the importance of ac
curate agricultural data in national
preparedness plans, Oregon wheal
growers will be asked to submit cer
tain production information before
the time of seeding their 1941 crop,
it is announced by the state AAA of
fice in Corvallis.
Winter wheat growers who intend
to participate in the national farm
program in 1941 will be asked to sign
by October 31 a form called “1941
Winter Wheat Plan.” By signing this
form, each grower will indicate
whether he intends to comply with
his 1941 wheat acreage allotment,
and will specify the acreage which he
intends to seed. In addition, he will
report his 1940 wheat production.
Spring wheat growers will be asked
to give similar data later.
Data obtained from farmers
through this sign-up will be useful
to the federal government both in
formulating national defense plans
and in outlining international trade
possibilities, said N. C. Donaldson, in
charge of the state AAA office.

Proper Storing of Crop Is
Important Item.
By C. H. NISSLEY
Seeds of many vegetable crops
held over from one season to anoth
er may be used this year if they
have been properly stored, but they
should be tested for both vitality and
germination before planting time, if
growers follow the advice of vege
table gardening department at the
New Jersey College of Agriculture.
Germination tests of seed pur
chased from seedsmen are now com
pulsory in many states and must ap
pear on the package in which pur
chased. There is no way of deter
mining when the seed was produced
or how it was stored and handled
by the dealer.
Cucumber, lettuce, muskmelon
and tomato seed usually retain their
vitality for a period of five years.
Beets, cabbage, cauliflower, celery,
pumpkins, squash, and watermelon
are good for four years; eggplants,
three years; onions and peppers,
two years; and parsley, one year.
These figures are approximate, for
the seed loses its vitality more rap
idly in some sections than in others,
and it has been observed that hu
midity and temperature also have
an influence on stored seed. High
temperatures, 86 degrees Fahren
heit, or above, with an excessive
humidity cause rapid deterioration
of most seeds. Seeds of different
vegetables vary in their structure
and consequently in their keeping
qualities. Some seeds have a hard
impervious covering while others
have a thin, easily penetrated one.
Mice, rats, weevils and other in
sects attack stored seeds. One of
the most common methods of storing
seed is to cover a fair-sized wooden
box with one-fourth inch galvanized
hardware cloth. This wired cloth is
tacked on the outside of the box to
keep rodents from entering.
Seed should be examined occa
sionally for the presence of weevils
and other seed insects and fumigat
ed with carbon bisulphide or other
recommended chemicals if there are
signs of insects present. A dust con
taining high percentages of either
pyrethrum or rotenone may be used
instead of the fumigation treatment
although the gas is more effective.

Foods Raised on Farm
COLUMBIA GRANGE
Contain Necessary Iron HOLDS MEETING
The role that many farm foods
play in keeping everybody healthy
is common talk but perhaps one
of the clearest pictures of this re
lationship is found in the story of
iron. The amount of iron required
in the body in relation to its impor
tance to life might well be charac
terized by the phrase “little, but oh
my.” For iron is one of the behind-
the-scene workers in the mainte
nance of healthful blood which as ev
eryone knows is so important to
good health. Briefly, it helps in the
building of hemoglobin, the oxygen
carrying portion of the red blood
cells.
If the diet is insufficient in iron,
there is likely to be inadequate hem
oglobin formation and the condi
tion known as nutritional anemia
results. Usually persons who are
anemic lack pep and energy. Where
the farm foods step into the picture
is in the fact that many green leafy
vegetables furnish a large part of
the daily iron needs. Spinach for
one is high in iron and is easy to
grow. Dandelions are considered
another fine iron source. Other gar
den greens furnishing iron are en
dive, kale and broccoli.
It is well to remember that al
though liver and kidney are consid
ered the richest sources of iron, if
everyone demanded these foods all
the time the price of liver would
probably increase to the point that
those persons suffering with perni
cious anemia and needing to eat liv
er would be unable to afford it. For
this reason, it is well to look to the
greens, egg yolk and many of the
dried fruits as iron sources. Eggs
are comparatively inexpensive right
now.
