VAI-IJ, OK W JON "In Eastern Oregon one of the greatest. ad vantages of the corn crop is that it is a very low moisture consumer and since it will permit thorough cultivation and moisture conservation, it may be used as a substitute crop in place of the sum mer fallow, "said Prof. H. D. Scudd er, head of the O. A. C. agronomy department in discussing the results of the corn breeding experiments at the college. "This gives a return for the hand ling of the land," he continued, "get ting rid of the weeds and leaving the ground in nearly as good a condition for the wheat crop to follow as would the costly summer fallow. "Grown in this way on the dry farming lands, corn may be pastured off with pigs and bring as good or better profit than the wheat crop it self. Though the summer fallow can not be done away with altogether, in the more favorable years and in those part's where the rainfall is higher, it may largely replace the summer fal low. "In the irrigated sections of East ern Oregon, and throughout the humid sections of western Oregon, corn can be replaced by no other plant as a green feed in the late summer and as a silage throughout the winter. These facts have led the college to devote much more time during the past five years to corn breeding. The idea has been to develop two varieties, one es ecially for the production of forage for green feed or silage, much needed in the dairy industry throughout Ore gon ; and another variety to produce an early maturing ear which will rip en and dry sufficiently to store and use for early fall feeding, or to pas true off with pigs, and that yet will give a yield of grain comparing favor ably with other grains. 'Foundation stocks for these two purposes were developed in variety trials by the introduction of a number of the hardiest and earliest naturing corns secured diffeient parts of the corn belt of the United States, the Minnesota No. 3 land the Minnesota No. 23 proving the best. They have been planted in separate fields, the best quality of high breeding being secured to begin with', and for two years indvidual plant selections have have been made and ear row plant ing tests carried out. This resulted in marked improvement in the qual ities of these varieties for Oregon conditions. "This pedigree breeding will result in decided addition to the agricultu ral production of the state, it is be lieved. That these varieties are suc cessful where tried is attested by the score of letters received requesting seed at any price. Prof. Hyslop, who is working with me on the corn breed ing, and I, are pursuaded that this is due entirely to the tested merits of the corn. In 1910 there were sent out small samples of the best seed to pro gressive farmers throughout the state for cooperative testing. It is the re sults of these tests which have created a demand for the seed last year and again this year far in excess of the ability of the college to satisfy it." HOMESTEAD BILL MAKES BIG HIT Public land problems will bo one of the chief topics on the program when the Western Governors association meets in Boise in August. When Reilly Atkinson', secretary of the Boise Commercial Club was in San Francisco recently he met Governors Norris of Montanna and West of Ore gon and talked over with them the subjects which are to be included in the program at that time. Governor Norris is president of the association and believes that one of the most important questions the governors ought to thresh out Is that of the management of the public land which lie within the state borders. The members i f the organization are enthusisastic over the Borah-Jones bill and many of them have given the measure their hearty support. Let ters which the secretary here has re ceived have promised the support and assstance of nearly every western state in getting the measure through congress. Practically everyone of the 17 states will be represented by the governor. It is possible, however, that Governor StUDbs of Kansas will not be able to attend the meetings, as the state primaries come during the same week that the convention is scheduled here. The ertertainment committee of the club has been at work for the as week or two planning for the recep tion and entertainment which will be given the executive after their arriv al and during the week that they are there city's guects.

Wilson and others for securing title to land described as the southeast quarter of the northwest quarter of section 6, township 21 south range 46. DEVELOPMENT OF MODEL WILLOW RIVER IRRIGATION PROJECT WILL CONTINUE Plans of W. M. Wayman, Whose Resignation as Manager, Went Into Effect Monday, Will Be Followed Out to the Letter Competent Men Placed in Charge of Orchard and Farm Work and Distribution of Water New Representative Here Saturday. W. M. Wayman, who has had charge of the management of the Willow Ri ver Irrigation project for the past two years, was in Vale Monday on his way to Boise. He had just been to Bro gan and Jamieson to close up affairs as his resignation went into effect on April 1st. "The developement of the Willow river valley will go on just the same as planned under my supervision," said Mr. Wayman, Monday to an En terprise representative. Good men have been placed in charge at Brogan and Jamieson and E. S. Andrews the Magenheimer representative, who was in Brogan Saturday, will make fre quent trips to this section from Boise to see that everything moves along al right." Foreman Lewis, of the Jamieson or achards, who has worked with Mr. Wayman for 12 years, remains in charge of the Jamieson country, and Mr. Bennett is already at Brogan to take charge of the irrigation system and the distribution of the water. Mr. Wayman stated that the plan of developing the company's holdings into model farms and orchards would be followed and that considerable work was already underway at the present time. The company will put in a large acreage to orchard, alfalfa, potatoes and hay this spring, while many of the individual ranchers and orchardisl will go in strong along all of these lines. S. M. Cole, who ar rived at Jamieson this week from Omaha, will plant 40 acres to pota toes as well as 120 acres to fruit trees. Mr. Wayman will during this month look after his own holdings, he and a few associates having a sec tion of land near Emmett under a high state of cutivation. Next month he goes to northern California to look over a large land deal for some eas tern capitalists, It is very probable that h will return to Vale and the Willow Klver valley before going to California as he staled ha would have to attend another meeting of tha direrturs of the Willow Itiver project sometime this month. during his stay In tha Willow 1(1' r valley as manager tf th project, Mr. Wsyiiiau lias been an Indefatig able ..f and tUr for Ida Wil low l(ur valley ami enU.-iitf the reunify, UlUa aelnn lli 'oiiile- iiuit ui n.e ijo,i't Mj. t M ih iMlftliut! bf Ik IM bf fine Malheur county land, he devoted much of his time in aiding the settlers of that valley.

NORTHWEST'N IS HEADED F0R VALE Gilmore & Pittsburg One of the Feeders for the Coast Extension Exclusive Re ports of the Enterprise Now Coroboratcd by Rail road Magazine. Of interest to those who are keep ing track of railroad development in this section of the country will be the fact that the Gilmore & Pittsburg railroad is a Chicago & Northwestern feeder to tap the Pacific coast coun try. This informaion which has been given out several times by tha Mai heur Enterprise is vouched for this week by the Railroad Magazine, pub Hahed hv the Munsev company, and copies of which have just reached this city The recent development in railroad activity in western states Indicated that the Northwestern was behind the mysterious road and tha article in the magizine, which it taken here as authentic, corroborate this. The Railroad Magazine article la aa follows: The Chicago & Northwestern rail road is to rush construction of a line giving two outets to Pacific coast. William A. Gardner, preaident of tha road, is in the Pacific northwest, making arrangements for conatructlon work that will lead into Oregon with in the present year. The Northwest ern, through trackage arrangements, will use the Northern Pacific tracta from St. Paul to Alder, Mont. From Alder to a point east of Lewiston, Ida., it will follow the Gilmore A Pittsburg road, which is owned by the Northwestern. At a point east of Lewiston the road branches with tha object of giving two outlets to tha coast. One of these will be down the Col umbia river, over the Northern Pacific and Spokane, Portland and Seattle roads to Portland, and the other by way of the new Harriman line, the Oregon & Eastern, to Eugene, Ore., whence, over the tracks of the Pacific Great Western, It will reach Cooa Bay.

EASTERN OREGON ADAPTED TO GROWING OF FLAX SEED A movement to stimulate the cul ture of flax in Oregon is being favored by the Portland Commercial Club. Mr. E. II. Smith, Weatern Seed Man ager of the American Linseed Oil Co. offered to guarantee the farmera of Oregon a minimum price of $1.25 per bushel at the neareat railroad point lor all seed hat could be rained and to take all that would be offered to hia company. II agreea to find a market for all the fibre aa well. Aa the market price for some years haa been much higher than te guar anteed minimum price, in fart is now $2.(W per bushel, it may readily he seen that this should prove a profitable crop for Oregon farmers. It is et. mated that Oregon soil will produce 12 to 1 o buahels of seed r acre, and from two ant one half tons of straw, which Is worth $' per ton, for soma months a e ial commit.
