Registration will be from 10 WAHLERT WENT on his own in 1966 and has been actively a.m. to 11 a.m. It is requested involved in seed experiments that all proposed booths be ever since. Today, Wahlert is set up prior to 10 a.m. For breeding a new onion and a tur nip which look "very promis ing”, already, he is starting to think of the day when he will be able to patent the new seeds under a new law called the Plant Variety Protection Act. •'With any luck,” says Wah lert, "I’ll apply for a patent on the turnip next year.” Wahlert has had some luck with his turnip already. When the freeze hit last December he nearly lost his entire year's harvest, fortunately, however, he had taken some turnips home to eat and was able to save those and keep the strain going. UP UNTIL NOW, Wahlert has managed Io get along with his wife Nellie taking care of the company books and one em ployee to help tn the field. Now, however, he has purcha h sed a ranch east of Nyssa and is planning to move his entire seed operation to that location. Builders have already fi nished putting up a large metal warehouse on the site and Wah lert says be will probably have to expand his work force as his business- grows. BRIGHTENERS Nyssa Grower Spends 44 Years In Seed Business In 1929, Bill Wahlert of Nyssa gratkiated from high school and went to work for a seed com pany. Today, 44 years later, Wahlert is still in the seed bu- | siness, but now he's working for himself. Wahlert operates a family company. Bill Wahlert Seeds, I here in Nyssa and contracts to | supply seeds to major seed companies all over the world. Also, Wahlert conducts re search and development experl- | ments on seed strains, both for other companies and for his own use. At the moment, for example, he is growing ten plants for an Asian firm on his 2 1/2 acre research plot west of Nyssa. | St ED COMPANIES contract with Wahlert and others like him to supply seeds Io fill their orders. Wahlert, In turn, con tracts with area farmers to grow enough plants to produce the amount of seeds he needs to meet his contract. ( 1 I I After the plants are harves ted. Wahlert removes and cleans the seeds, packages or loads them into trucks and ships them to the seed companies. Acreage planted varies ac- cording to (be amount of seeds | ; ' I required and Wahl-rf says, "This U where the housewife comes in handy sometimes, putting her little piece of land into something and making a little money for herself.” FOR THE MO6T part, how- ever, Wahlert deals with the farmer. This year, Wahlert , estimates that be has about 500 acres under contract on area farms and be figures be will be paying these farmers about $100.000 for growing his seed crop. ”1 took some classes at Ore gon Slate," says Wahlert, "but most of what I've learned has been from practical expe rience.” "Seed companies havelocon- stantly keep ahead," says Wah lert. "It's a very competitive business.” ETR SN Roger Draper ETRSN Roger Draper re cently enjoyed a well earned Navy leave with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Miland G.
