Abstract

This collection consists of photographs taken by Agricultural Experiment Station staff of Station agricultural research both in Corvallis and at Branch Stations throughout Oregon.

Images from this collection have been digitized and are available in Oregon Digital.

Scope and Content Notes

The bulk of the collection is a group of photographs from the John Jacob Astor Branch Experiment Station documenting its various research programs including the Northrup Creek Grazing Experiment, dairy cattle breeding and management, forage crops development, beef cattle production, and tussock (and other) weed control.

Other images of especial note in the collection are photographs of Asian pears and their marketing taken by Frank Charles Reimer, Superintendent of the Southern Oregon Experiment Station, during a 1917 trip to China.

This collection includes a variety of photographic forms including (in order of decreasing prominence): b/w prints; b/w negatives; color slides; color prints; and color negatives. Most of the b/w prints are 5x7 or smaller. The b/w negatives include a large number on nitrate-based stock which are stored separately. The collection includes original camera negatives for many of the b/w prints; there are also a substantial number of negatives without accompanying prints. The color negatives are from the mid-1940s and show some color shift. There are no prints of these negatives.

Images from this collection have been digitized and are available in Oregon Digital.

Biographical / Historical Notes

The John Jacob Astor Experiment Station was established in 1913 at a site 4 miles southeast of Astoria in Clatsop County to conduct agricultural research under coastal conditions, specifically to investigate and demonstrate agricultural possibilities of reclaiming and utilizing tidelands and logged-off lands. The Northrup Creek Grazing Experiment was begun in 1936 on the site of one of the Tillamook forest fires to study the seeding, fertilizing, grazing, and management of logged-off and burned-over timberlands and the effects of grazing on reforestation. The project continued until the early 1950s. The John Jacob Astor Station was closed in 1972. Herbert B. Howell served as Station superintendent from 1934 until 1965 and Elmer Dent as Assistant Superintendent in 1946-1954.
