The Agricultural Experiment Station
Bulletin Illustrations consist of photographs and other illustrations
reproduced in Station Bulletins published from the mid-1920s to early
1940s. The subjects are representative of the various agricultural
research projects conducted in Corvallis and at Branch Stations throughout
Oregon.
Materials in English.
Historical Note:
The Oregon Agricultural Experiment Station was established under the
provisions of the federal Hatch Act of 1887, which provided grants of
$15,000 to each U.S. state and territory for experimentation in the
"principles and applications of agricultural science." Agricultural
experimentation began at Oregon Agricultural College in 1888 under Edgar
Grimm, the Station's first director, and in 1889 state legislation was
approved formally establishing the Experiment Station. That year, the
Station published its first bulletin and the college farm was increased
from 35 acres to 155 acres.
In 1901 the first Branch Station was established at Union, in northeast
Oregon, to address issues pertaining to the agriculture in that part of
the state. Over the next few years, Branch Stations were established
throughout Oregon, at Hermiston and Moro (1909); Harney and Talent (1911);
Hood River (1912); and Astoria (1913). Prior to World War II, stations
were established at Pendleton (1927); Medford (1931); Squaw Butte (1935);
Klamath Falls (1937); and Oregon City (1939).
Major achievements of the Station's first 50 years included a
successful way to remove spray residues from fruit; introduction of new
grain varieties; new methods for storing and marketing Oregon pears;
control of various livestock diseases; development of the modern
maraschino cherry; and poultry breeding for egg production.
The Agricultural Experiment Station Bulletin Illustrations consist of
photographs and other illustrations published in the Station Bulletin
series. These illustrations were used in 129 Station Bulletins (with
numbers 214-398) published between 1925 and 1941. Not all of the Bulletins
published during this time period are represented.
Subjects of the illustrations are representative of the various
agricultural research projects conducted in Corvallis and at Branch
Stations throughout Oregon during this time period. Notable topics are
horticulture, especially fruits, berries, and nuts; dairy husbandry and
production; forage crops such as hay alfafa, and oats; cattle and sheep
raising and marketing; poultry; speciality crops such as hops and flax;
soils and irrigation; and plant diseases and insect pests. In some cases,
individual farms or processing facilities are identified.
Of special note are photographs of Asian pears and pear trees taken by
Frank Charles Reimer during a trip to China and published in Station
Bulletin 214 in 1925.
The bulk of the photographs are photographic prints; the collection
includes 10 film negatives and 7 nitrate negatives. Other illustrations
are included for most bulletins including charts, graphs, diagrams,
equipment drawings, and maps.
Collection is open for research.
The collection consists of one series: I. Station Bulletin
Illustrations, 1925-1941. The illustrations are arranged by bulletin
number (SB) and have not been assigned unique individual numbers. In some
cases, they are labeled P019:xxx, where "xxx" represents the bulletin
number. In other cases, the items are labeled with the bulletin number
(beginning with SB) and the figure number from the publication.

State University Archives, Corvallis, Oregon.
The collection was acquired by the Archives in the mid-1960s.
Original paper copies of Station Bulletins 214-398 are available in the
Publications Collection (PUB 6-14a). Illustrations published in later
Station Bulletins (numbers 413-594, dated 1938-1963) are part of the
Extension and Experiment Station Communications Photographic Collection (P
120). Other photographs of Asian pears and their marketing are part of the
Agricultural Experiment Station Photographic Collection (P 029). Many
other photographs of Agricultural Experiment Station programs are part of
the Agricultural Experiment Station (P 029), Extension and Experiment
Station Communications (P 120), and
Experiment
Station Publications (P 132) photographic collections and
Harriet's Collection.
Extensive documentation of the Station's agricultural research programs
are available in the
Agricultural
Experiment Station Records (RG 025).
