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.

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.
