New Product for Oregon.


Professor Shaw, chemist at the
agricultural experiment station at
Corvallis, is delving into the problem
what canaigre will do for Oregon
farmers. The experiment began last
week and in due time will be reported
in a bulletin. Canaigre is bulb that
formerly grew in q wild state in
Arizona, but more recently has been
cultivated with Indifferent success. 1t
is used for tanning leather, for which
it is equal, if not superior, to oak or
hemlock bark, and sells in this country
at $40 per ton, In Vienna at $65 per
ton, Ten to fifteen tons per acre is the
possible yield, and 1t costs $40 per acre
to grow 1t. A warm climate with
plenty of moisture is necessary Ia
successful cultivation, and for this
reason the professor thinks that IN
Eastern oregon, where irrigation is
possible, the bulb may be successfully
grown and become one of that sec
tion's exports The experiment will
include a trial in all portions of tht
state.
