This meet is an annual one held by the different schools of this part of the state. Among the towns to be represented are Burns, Ontario, Canyon City, rrairie City, Joseph, Wallowa, Fen dieton, LaCrande, Union, Elgin, Cove, Lnterprise and Baker. Oliver Haga, of Boise ;C. A. Tusch, L. E. Peterson, George Latting and A. P. Scritchfield of Payette, mostly all large land owners on the Lower Dead Ox Flat, met with the county court in this city Monday and secured the right to create a new irrigation district through which the irrigation of over 6000 acres is to be taken up at an early date. The land owners have come to the conclusion that the old Snake River irrigation district could not serve their best interests and delegated those gentlemen to meet the county court which at once favored the crea tion of the new district. Mr. Peterson, of Payete, while in conversation with an Enterprise re porter, said, "Nearly all of the land owners on the Lower Dead Ox Flat, across the river from Payette, have withdrawn from the old Snake River district, and have agreed to come un der the Snow-Moodv nroiect. The land to be watered in nearly all own ed by Payette people and will become valuable as soon as water is secured. The new steel bridge will give us di rect access toour holdings and the Dead Ox Flat is bound to become the richest section of Malheur county. " The State Land Board in Salem has been considering the offer of C. M. Sain of a royalty of 10 per cent of the salt removed from the salt bed lakes of Summer and Albert Lakes, in the Harney country, which if ac cepted will net this state many thous ands of dollars in the future. Through Attorney General Crawford the matter of the state claiming riparial right to the salt beds was taken up, and as a result of the in vestigation salt iTiiners are now bid ding for the privilege of removing salt from the two lakes. There are 40,000 acres of land covered by the two lakes. In Summer lake there is estimated to be 3,905,000 tons of pure salt, while in Lake Albert experts figure there are 1,480,000 tons of puie salt. Sain agrees to construct evap- orratin vats covering an area of 2,000 acres on Albert lake, and a 1,000 acre vat on Summer lake and 10 per cent of all salt removed from both lakes will be paid to the state as royalty on the states holdings.

Feb. 6 (Special) In response to several hundred invita tions to the Irrigation Convention to be held in Portland February 19-21, a large number of acceptances have been received. The interest in this convention centers particularly in two things, judging from the lettters re ceived at the headquarters of the Ore gon Development League. There is unanimous sentiment for registering uregon s demand for a more 'just share of the reclamation appropria tion according to Oregon's contribu tions. There is also a strong desire for a spirit of co-operation among those chiefly interested in the princi pal irrigation projects of the state and for a better understanding of the problems common to them all. It is believed that united action in this respect will mean much for the de velopment of the state. Amontr those who have promised to be pres ent are members of the Legislature, state officials, members of the Desert Land Board, presidents of water- users associations and water supervis ors.

Ul lhy Ut. i-roinj.uj , ,0 To determine the adaptability of Milo maize as a forage crop and grain for raising under eastern Oregon dry farming conditions, the Oregon Agri cultural Experiment League is testing it on the farms of members. They are planning to find out the methods of feeding and culture best suited to the production of the crop, and its usefulness in producing grain and for age, as well as to improve its quality and adaptibilitv by seed selection. The members first select an acre of clean summer fallowed land that is uniform throughout and divided into four quarter-acre plots. These are disced and worked into a good seed bed, itnecesary plowed and followed immediately with a subsur face packer before harrowing. About May 1 plots of the land are sown with the mho maize, three pounds of seed to the acre, and two weeks later the other two plots are similarly sown, using a grain drill for seeding and stopping up the holes in the seed box so maize will be sown n rows one yard apart. Care is taken not to sow the maize when the ground is cold. Soon after seeding the plots are harrowed and again ten days later, with a third harrowing soon after the plants are up. Thereafter a k.iife cultivator or a shovel cultivator so set that the shovel will not run more than three inches deep. One each of the early and late sown plots should be cultivated every week, and the other two every fortnight. Well matured plants in the field having large, compact, erect heads uniform in height and time of matur ing are selected, since it is essential that a type be secured that can be harvested by machinery. By erect heads are meant those borne on straight or only slightly bent shanks. It should be harvested when the plants have matured well and the seeds are getting dry. It may be cut and chopped like corn and the heads later removed by chopping them off in bunches on a block with an axe, or they may be cut o(T the stocks with a header or knife, and spread out in thin layer and dried. The experi menters will note the effect of early and late planting, frequency to culti vation and adaptability to the soil and climate. Yields of both grain and fodder will be secured, and three weeks before harvest a progress re port will be mailed to the agronomy department of the college.
