Leverett announced Saturday that they will join in the production of seed crops on property on Lev- erette's Table-Top Hereford ranch.

Cover 1,000 Acres The enterprise will be known as the Hoover-Leverette Seed farms, and will cover some 1,000 acres of the 2,500-acre ranch already under irrigation. The seed blocks are now under crops, mostly lotus, ladino clo ver and alfalfa. In commenting on the project, Hoover said, "Our firm is pleased in securing the blocks. Their new seeding of ladino clo ver is from our own foundation blue tag fields, and the 250 acres of lotus seed came from the original field where we threshed our first lotus. The 500 acres of alfalfa is the Jackson county common. The seed was first secured from John Nieder meyer. His not only one of the highest producing seed fields in the county, but also produces more dry-land hay than any in the county." It is a particularly hard hay, Hoover added. Scientists to Watch 'The Leverette ranch will be i watched with interest by scien tists and farmers, because of the different types of irrigation. There are now 250 acres under sprinkler system, and adjoining lands are flood irrigated. Var ious dusting for insecticide ex periments will be conducted by the federal, state and county governments, and by the oper ators," he said. The Leverette block of new ladino clover is the largest in southern Oregon, combined with the Hoover prop erties. The Hoover-Arnold Boh ernert harvesting crews will be united to harvest the crop.
