IT Great Opportunities for Chick en Raisers. FRUIT GROWERS EXPERIMENT IVcmitchee Orcliardists Assisting Tree Growth Lake Washing fi -t Ship Canal WU1 ';'Be Built. (Special to The Evening New:.) SEATTLE, Jan. 11. H. L. Blanchard, of the Western Washing ton Experiment fetation, estimates that during the last fifteen years, not less than $20,000,000 has been sent out of this state for poultry and poultry products. For a long time It was believed that weather condi tions throughout the Northwest were unfavorable to a profitable poultry industry. But the experiment sta tion has entirely dispelled this er roneous notion. Its Investigations demonstrate that chickens do excep tionally well here, If properly hand led. In view of the growing popula tion, Mr. Blanchard figures that dur ing the next fifteen years. Washing tun will spend a hundred million dol lars for poultry and poultry products. Hence, this industry is a promising one In which to engage. The experi ment station has issued a new bulle tin on the subject, which can be ob tained for the asking. Ordiurdlsts Try Experiment, Fruit growers of Cashmere, in the Wenatchee valley, are to make a series; of experiments with nitrate of soda, this spring. Horticultural authorities recommend a systematic addition of nitrogen to 'the soil, as promoting a rapid and healthy growth of wood and foliage, particularly- during the young life of trees. The Cashmere orchardlsts have made pluns to try this out thoroughly. Careful records will be kept of the experiments. .Lake Washington Canal. SEATTLE, Jan. 11. The ship canal, connecting Puget Sound and Lake Washington, is to be ready for operation January 1, 1916. Bids will be opened for the digging of the canil next month. This part of the work is to be completed the middle of 1914. Half a million dollars Is available for the contract. The locks are already under construction. The government has appropriated almost $3,000,000 for this improvement, which means relatively as much to Puget Sound country -as the Panama Canal does to the whole world. The Lake Washington canal will give to Seattle the distinction of having the largest fresh water harbor on the globe. ' To Demonstrate Coal. SEATTLE, Jan. 11. Western coal operators have been Invited to send representatives to Washington, D. C, to appear before the secretary of the navy, In regard to the use of Washington coal on vessels of the Pacific fleet. The department re cently conducted a series of tests to determine the efficiency of western coals. The result were not satis factory to the1 . naval authorities. 1 However, members of the Washing ton delegation In congress are not satisfied that the best showing was made. They believe that Washing ton coal operators can better demon strte their product and thereby stand a chance of enlisting the government in their favor. DOUGLAS COUNTY FARMERS. Attend Short Course at Agrlculliir.il College. CORVALLIS, Or., Jan. 10. Today I had an opportunity of looking over the slips of the "short students," as the people taking the short courses are called, and the following are reg istersd from Douglas county: in the department of domestic science M lares Alto Drain, of Drain, and Hel en G. Kenny, of Leona, are both im proving the opportunity of becoming expert in the science of housekeep ing and kindred arts. Engineering and mechanics arts claim two of Douglas county's young men in the persons of Rnlnh Karcher and Wm. Melton, Jr., both of South Deer Creek. These two young men are not only busy all day long, but have classes that keep them busy from 7 till 9 o'clock each evening -of the week. The largest number of our county's representatives, however, nre taking the agricultural and hor ticultural courses and the following residents are here for that purpose: Jesse A. Imrie, Melrose: Dr. C. H. Ballev, South Deer Creek; John A. Jaqulns. Melrose: Paul Jaqulns, Mel rose; Wm. A. Karcher, South Deer Creek; Geo. H. Perkins, Drain; Eu gene R. Kenny, Leona; Stephen I..

The scope of the work offered in the short courses embraces 53 dif ferent subjects, and there are 350 persons here to take advantage at this opportunity of becoming up-to-date in subjects of vital interest, es pecially to the successful farmer and irult grower. . Farm botany, farm drainage, farm management, farm mecnanics, diseases and Insects at tacking the field corps, forage and seed crops and weed eradication are gone Into exhaustively, and would be of vital Importance to the devel opment of Douglas county if under stood by the majority of the farm ers from a scientific point of view. The stock raiser would find a great deal to interest him In the courses on horses, sheep, swine, veterinary Bclence and poultry raising. For women who enter the short course the college offers branches In dress making, fancy cooking, general and special food preparation, home man agement, millinery, the principles of laundering, sewing and special food preparation. There are also Bhort course In piano, violin, band Instru ments, harmony history of music and voice culture for those interested in music. There are representatives from most of the large Eastern Univer sities and colleges taking the short courses, while the graduates of the leading business colleges of the slate are also represented. About 175 men and women are enrolled in the horticultural course, while about an equal number are registered In dairy ing and animal husbandry. Elexen states ore represented In the short, though by far the larger number are residents of Oregon, Japan, tier many, British Columbia, Switzerland and England are also represented. Many of the short course students are taking the various courses for the recond or third time. The fact that they have made good from knowledge obtained from previous courses has opened their eyts to the fact that a man or woman cannot do better than to spend four or five weeks during the .lull season of the year in perfectlMg rhelr kuowlelije of ihe scie'e uitl n of u iculture.

With the enthusiasm inspired by Judge Galloway's favorable decis ion in the University of Oregon refer endum case, plans at the University hae taken on new life. On ac count of the hold up of the appropri ation bills of the last legislature by the forged relai-enduiu petitions, the university lias been greatly handl er pped In the fall semester's work. Several additional piofessors need ed were not piocurcd, with tho re sult that classes have been crowded and teachers overworked.. Another haudicap has been cramped class room space. Deady Hall and Mc- Clure Hall, which are now used from attic to cellar, are antiquated struc tures without modern conveniences. The Library Building, Vlllard Hall, too engineering buildings, and the gymnaeiniu, which are modern have not the capacity needed.
