REASON FOR CROP SHORTAGE

In the last Sunday Journal, an
article by Hyman H. Cohen plac-
es Gillian County's wheat crop
at l, 600, 900 bushels, but this es.
innate is probably a little high.
Mr.. Cohen says Possibly one
of the greatest helps toward
making this present crop OF
wheat the greatest ever grown
in the Pacific northwest is the
unusual care taken by the grow
ers in the better districts. Had
this same care been taken in the
lighter land sections of Oregon,
the result would have been a
surprise in yield.
In this connection it should be
stated that the growers of Gill
lam and Morrow counties are
much to blame for the smallness
of their crops. Very shallow
cultivation has been continued
in those districts although some
of the farmers within the bor-
ders are changing their tactics
and are plowing deep to conserve
every drop of moisture that the
ground receives.
The single planting of wheat
and expecting to harvest three
crops is another drawback to the
light land sections of Oregon and
helps to pull down the average
yield. This has been demon
strated in Gillian county where
one field of volunteer wheat pro-
duced six bushels per acre while
one alongside right over the
fence produced an average of
Is bushels. The difference was
but the matter of cultivation and
seeding.
