The furniei a. represent the oper ating department, which prop erly can only take hold uftur the way has been bltued out for them. I would like to boo tho Btate make an appropriation to carry out such a work. My Idea Is to have stations established at various places In the interior and j throughout the stuto also, or tt ut matter, where an expert with a properly equipped luboratory wuuld always bo on hand to analyze soil specimens brought in by ranchers. By so doing he would be able to direct tho farmers what to do with their soil, how best to cultivate it, what to plant and wlmt not to plunt, and to aid them In many mays. "Particularly would the pro posed work bo of benefit to those who are untieing ranches out of tho sagebrush land of Crook County, near Bund and Priuo villo," continued President Grny. Those homesteaders ore at tempting tho cultivation of an absolutely untried lund, where ultimate success Inevitably will come, but where In tho first stages cq'uully inevitably there must be many failures. It is to mini m i.o tho number of such fuilures, so hastening tho devel opment and productivity of. the territory, that soil analysis would bo of great importance." Thoro will be an effort made by tho Hill lines to put into oper ation soveral agricultural experi ment stations in interior Oregon, according to President Gray. While it is possible that such may bo started this summer it is probable that little will be done with the work until the season of 1912. Oregonian. . Si.
