PAGE 7 1912 ESOLVED That we will endeavor during the year 1912, as we have since the or ganization of this bank, to devote our time, skill and capital to promoting the welfare of the bank and its cus tomers. U. S. NATIONAL BANK La Grande, Ore. HARNEY F, M T op st no EXPERIMENT STATION Til ERE WORKS WONDERS. Management Planning Even Jfore Ex tensive Experiment There, Corvallis, Ore,, Jan. 17. (Special) Great progress In the working out of the branch experiment station of the Oregon Agricultural college in Har ney county, Ave miles from Burns, Is reported by Supt. Leroy Breithaupt, who is In" consultation with Director James Wlthycombe and Prof. H. D. Scudder and will spend several weeks with them, outlining the demonstra tion and experiment work to be con ducted this year. Prof. Scudder con siders that area as presenting- the most difficult problems In dry farming of any In the United States yet devel oped for this purpose, but he believes that persistence and good methods will result .In successful operation of crops. When Mr. Breithaupt took the bup erlntendency in September the farm was nothing tout an arid stretch of absolutely dry virgin soil, with noth ing but sage 'brush, on It. In the past four, months the whole 200 acres cessful. The other buildings are also models of their kind. Fences, gates, roads, walks and I lawns will be put In during' the win ter and early Spring, and a thorough ly cultivated fallow will be given the entire farm this Jim year, to con serve moisture for the first crops to be produced, In 1913. Some crops may be sown this spring, to prove that they can not be grown successfully the first year, on virgin soli in that district. . . The buildings and entire farm are to be equipped with modern conveni ences, to demonstrate that farming In a dry. region Is not necessarily so full of discomforts and that the house may be as convenient and attractive as one in the city. Both hot and cold water will be piped through the house, which' will have a bath room and Inside toilet, and a lawn hydrant for watering purposes and a barn fau cet will also be piped from the well, which will have the pumping done by a gasoline engine. The same engine will operate a small dyhamo for lighting all of the buildings by elec tricity, at small cost.' Utility, con venience, and economy as well as at tractive appearance and the health of the residents have been considered In planning the barn, the two houses, and all the buildings. I "Mr. Breithaupt has handled the work at th station very successfully so far," says Prof. Scudder, "and he is imbued with enthusiasm and - de termination for the future. It Is rec ognized by the authorities, here that PARCELS POST I IS ASKED FORI JOWA SCHOOL DISTRICT PRATS V , FOR BILL . Farmers Sign Petition to Be Forward ed to Washington.

The barn, machine Bhed, a combination cellar, wood house, pump house, teamster's cottage and superintendent's residence have been built, and the farmstead laid out with a view to both convenience and attractiveness. The teamster's cot tage Is a model for the farmer who Is Just beginning and cannot afford an expensive structure, while the super intendent's residence is a model for the man who has made his farm euc- problems In the Harney : district be fore dry farming; can be made the greatest success.
