Austrian Winter Peas
Governor Suggests
Building Program
“Austrian winter peas have
proved to be satisfactory for
silage,” states Geo. A. Nelson,
county agriculturist. “They are
being used, to a limited extent,
in place of vetch and oats as
they yield from 10. to 20 per
cent more per acre than vetch
or oats.
“They are also used to a cer
tain extent in place of corn for
the reason that they are much
cheaper to grow than corn.
“There is a considerable acre
age of Austrian winter peas being
grown in Columbia county at
the present time and the ques
tion is frequently asked as to
whether or not they are suitable
for silage purposes. Trials at
the experiment stations and on
farms have shown that Austrian
winter peas can be successfully
used as a silage crop.”
SALEM—(UP)—A $3,000,000
state building program would be
launched by Oregon under re
commendations to be made to
the 1931 legislature by out-go
ing Governor Norblad.
Unemployed of every county
in the state would benefit from
the proposed program, which
would mean new buildings and
improvements to Oregon’s 12
state institutions during a two
year period. Hospitals, reform
schools, prisons, normal schools,
teachers’ colleges and state uni
versity would be affected by re
lease of the millions.
In order that his program
would not be a burden to tax
payers, Governor Norblad would
