"When wo build a rnllroud we
Imvo our engineers go out ttnd do
tho )luniiing tind coiiNlruction

ho happens to have ucnuirod
may bo totally different' from!
what ho was uccuslomed to work '
'buck Kithl' and so may make ;
a failure of his efforts, which
would have been crowned with
success if he hud boon started
.right.
"And there is where my pro
posed Noil analysis work comes
in. It U the work of tho agrl
culturul engi nee ring deparliiient.
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. .
