VERNONIA EAGLE, VERNONIA, OREGON PAGE SIX * OREGON FARMERS PLAN NING MORE CORN, TUR KEYS FOR YEAR 1932 OREGON STATE COLLEGE, Corvallis — Another moderate in crease in the Oregon corn acre age, more turkeys, but no in crease in acreage of late pota toes or number of pullets to be raised, are in prospect this year, according to a report just re leased by the college extension service. These trends were indi cated by intentions-to-produce surveys made by the U. S. de partment of agriculture, with supplemental information gather ed by the extension service. The corn outlook is relatively favorable, according to the re port which says, “the demand for corn in Oregon during the 1932- 33 marketing season, as usual, may be expected to exceed the supply of home-grown corn.” The surveys indicated that growers intend to increase the acreage about 15 per cent, with some what greater increases indicated in the central Willamette valley and in Malheur county. Prices for corn in Oregon are adjusted largely by the cost of shipping corn in from other states, thus thus the farm price ranges well above the average of the whole country. With respect to the late pota to outliok the report points out that there may be no increase in the acreage in the whole country and possibly some decrease in the Pacific northwest, but the supply might be somewhat larger because the average yield of potatoes has been low for three years, because of drouth. A survey by the college ex tension service indicates that about the same number of pul- lets will be raised on Oregon farms this year, but 20 per cent more turkeys. The government survey of growers’ intentions to plant spring wheat indicates that the acreage will be about the same as planted in 1931, but around 50 per cent more than was harvested last year when drouth caused heavy abandonment of spring wheat acreage. was 187.

Most com mercial potato growers know ex actly how to handle seed stock to get best stands, but it is believed that hundreds of smaller growers could profitably follow a few simple precautions in this res pect. Planting potatoes immediately after the pieces have been cut is one frequent cause of poor stands or weak hills because rotting may easily start on seed pieces put in the ground before the cut sur faces have a chance to heal. Dusting the cut seed with land plaster or sulphur is sometimes recommended to guard against trouble, and it has proved effec tive in many instances. It is not keeping one in a bucket of for tension service, advised Polk coun necessary, however, according to maldehyde solution at all times, ty farmers recently.
