Dr. James Withycombe is expected to come down . from Corvallis tomorrow, and, .if the weather permits, P. L. Willis says they will all make a trip of inspection of Guild's Lake and select the land that would be preferred to make tbe growing exhibit of Oregon products upon. Dr. Withycome is director f the agricultural experiment station, aad he will submit a number of suggestions to the agricultural committee, which is com posed of P. L. Wiliis; J. C. Cooper, of McMinnville ; John O'Shea and A. Bush, ot Salem; and George C. Biddle, of Biddle. The officers of the experimental station at Corvallis are anxious to take charge of the model farm display and make it a great success, and to that end they will urge that not less than ten acres of the best land near Guild's Lake be allowed for the purpose. If the fair board should grant the use of the land, work upon it would be commenced this winter, Begent Benton Killin says, and the soil enriched and gotten into shape for growing the finest specimens of fruits, grains, flowers, grasses, cereals, etc.. by the tune the fair comes on.
