very promising barleys which are the
results of crosses between Black and
Beardless, Chevalier and Bald bai
leys.
The two wneats which are best
adapted to this valley are Forty-fold
and Little Club. The former is a
heavy yielder, but shatters readily.
The latter Is not considered a heavy
yielder, but does not shatter. The
milling qualities of the two are such
that it requires a mixture of the same
In order to manufacture the best
grade of flour. The station has pro
duced a hybrid between these two,
which combines the desirable physical
qualities and it is believed will fur
nish the milling teBt.
New varieties of grasses, grains and
forage crops are Introduced .in order
to test their adaptability to Eastern
Oregon's conditions.
Crop relations and cultural methods
are planned to Increase soil fertility,
improve physical conditions of soil,
destroy troublesome weeds, and con
serve moisture. In the rotation ex
periments Is not the Intention of the
station to discourage the wheat farm
ing, but rather to encourage a system
of farming whereby the farmer Is able
to produce more wheat.
Considerable co-operative horticul
tural work has been carried on among
the fruit-growers In controlling Insect
pests and fungus diseases. Variety
tests of, vegetables and small fruits
have been made. A demonstration
orchard has been planted, showing
proper distance between trees, cultur
al methods and general care of same.
The work In animal husbandry has
been confined to breeding and feed
ing experiments with hogs. In order
to ascertain the most profitable hog
for the farmer and what feeds will
produce the most economical gains.
The Btatlon Is encouraging the grow
ing of field peas and hogging off
same. This practice, under favorable
conditions, will enable the farmer to
produce $25 worth of pork per acre,
besides Increasing of the fertility, hu-
( mus and moisture contents of his soil.

yet systematic campaigning for nom
ination at the republican primaries to
the office of water commissioner for

The office is very important. The
water user ot Oregon knows It to be
such, and the settlement of water
rights and proper regulation of the
use of water la a vital question to the
whole of Eastern Oregon. With this
fact as a premise it need not require
much deductive reasoning to come tc
the conclusion that the office of .wa
ter commissioner is all Important and

law Bchool of Str"ord university.
Mr. Cochran has been practicing law
continuously. He was graduated from
that school In 1901. These virtues
and merits are going to count for
much with Mr.. Cochran when he asks
for votes at the primaries. The sec

Affidavits Alleged Jury had Been too
Freely "Shown" by Officials.
A. E. Standley, the man injured in
the O. R. & N. turntable pit some
months ago, and who lost the verdict
when he sued the company for dam
age money, will not get a new trial,
notwithstanding strenuous eforts on
the part of the counsel for defense,
plaintiff, John S. Hodgins.
With several affidavits from mem
bers of the Jury which rendered a ver
dict for the railroad company, in his
possession, Attorney Hodgins Vent be
fore the court yesterday afternoon ar
guing for a new trial. The counsel
and the affidavits, too. stipulated that
the railroad officials took advantage
of the fact that the jury had gone to
inspect the premises at the round
house. It is said that the officials
gave something of a demonstration of
what the working principles of the
turn tables are, which the plaintiff
held to be legal.
juuge ivuowies. wno heard the men
tion yesterday afternoon, overruled
the motion, however. C. E. Cochran
representing the railroad company,
raised the point that Standley, who
was at the turntable and witnessed
what was said to be too free demon
strations to the jury, would have ob
jected to the proceedings at that time,
rather than takes' the changes on the
verdict. ;

state is rated at 80 per cent, It means

such a state is just twice as large as
