Potatoes Fall Short Near Irving Due to Gophers
Crop conditions around Irving show a likely light potato crop this season as gophers damage stems between tubers. Early potatoes are poor, late yields look uncertain, and lice spraying has begun. Hops prosper where cared for, but labor costs deter full yard upkeep. River area between Eugene and Irving becomes a cluster of small farms with diverse planting, and river bottom lands near McKenzie attract new homes. The Albany section gains rail service as the Springfield and Albany link improves through a Southern Pacific–owned line coordination.
