INCREASE OF FIFTY
PER CENT EXPECTED
IN WHEAT ACREAGE

Oregon is expected to increase its
acreage of fail sown wheat so per
| cent over the same acreage of 1917.
says Paul V Maris, state leader in
county agent work. who was here yes
terday after having attended the de-
partment Of agriculture conference at
spokane. An increase Of Al per cent
in the acreage of rye is also asked for.
In the view Of Mr.. Maris the in
creased acreage request will have
greater bearing on farming in west
ern Oregon than in eastern Oregon. as
In this section most Of the farming
land is already devoted TO wheatrais-
ing. He does not favor attempts To
raise wheat on land from which "a cror
was taken this year. the summer fai-
low system being suggested as usual
The growing of rye is suggested on
land that borders between dry farm
ing land and desert not only because
the rye is needed but for the further
reason it is "a crop well adapted To such
soil The rye however should be
threshed and not used as hay.
In order to secure good rye seed
for sowing this fall "a supply Of rye
