Seed Growing in Oregon. 



E. C. Johnson, president of the Port- 

 land Seed Co., of Portland, was unable, 

 to be present but sent a paper dealing 

 with seed growing in Oregon. As to red 

 clover, he said buckhorn is not yet 

 wholly, eradicated but the crop in the 

 Willamette valley now averages 120 

 cars a year, nice, plump seed of fine 

 color. Alsike in the same district turns 

 out thirty to forty cars a year, and 

 when free of sorrel the quality cannot 

 be excelled. Some fine alfalfa is grown 

 along the Idaho line and great efforts 

 are being made to rid the fields of dod- 

 der. In southeastern Oregon some tim- 

 othy is raised and Mr. Johnson pre- 

 dicted Oregon and Idaho soon will have 

 to be reckoned with in the timothy 

 market. 



"By treating the seed stock with 

 carbon bisulphide, weevils can be kept 

 pretty well under control, and by this 

 method we have for several years been 

 able to raise some fine crops of garden 

 peas, the pods being unusually well 

 filled and the color of the matured stock 

 much superior to eastern peas. About 

 three years ago the aphis made its ap- 

 pearance and practically took the en- 

 tire crop. Since then few peas have 

 been grown here, though some of the 

 growers begin to show a disposition to 

 give them another trial. 



"Generally speaking, the Oregon cli- 

 mate is considered unsuitable for the 

 growing of beans because of the early 

 fall rains, which prevent maturing and 

 ripening of the crop. However, after 

 various experiments in different parts 

 of the state, we believe that in some 

 sections of the valley, at least, beans 

 can be grown successfully and have 

 this year contracted quite extensively. 



"When acclimated seed is planted 

 and the ground suitably prepared splen- 

 did returns have resulted with corn. Our 

 contracts this year cover not only the 

 principal field varieties, but also sweet 

 com. 



"Cucumber, pumpkin and squash do 

 exceptionally well in this climate. The 

 seed is much plumper and of stronger 

 vitality than what we obtain from other 

 sections. Lately there has been consid- 

 erable acreage of these items contracted 

 for. That it will materially increase 

 in the near future is expected. Turnip, 

 kale and cabbage are also grown suc- 

 cessfully here. During the last five 

 years we have raised our entire require- 

 ments of several varieties of turnip and 

 kale, securing much nicer seed than that 

 imported from Europe. 



"The seed trade is so well acquainted 

 with the fine quality of the Oregon 

 Yellow Danvers onion seed that it is 

 needless to dwell on it. Suffice it to 

 say, that with our retail as well as 

 wholesale trade, and especially with our 

 market gardeners, it commands a pre- 

 mium in price of about seventy-five per 

 cent over the same variety of seed 

 raised elsewhere. 



"Our greatest diflSculty has been and 

 still is to get the right parties to go 

 into t^is seed growing business in 

 earnest. '' When such parties can be
