SEEKS ' TO AID FARMERS
President Kerr Proposes to Conduct
Series of Experiments. '
OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL
LEGE. Corvallis. Aug. 28. (Special.)
President Kerr is preparing a. report
for the board of regents on agricul-
MAN
goiv which will embody a number of
recommendations. Dr. Kerr la now In
correspondence with experts at Wash
ington with a view to securing assist
ance from them in a survey to be made
of the various districts of the eastern
part of the state, in which agricultural
development seems possible, through
Irrigation or otherwise.
The services of William Jardlne, of
the Bureau of Plant Industry, and some
expert on Irrigation are desired, and
with these experts President Kerr will
visit the varidVs districts of the sec
tion, hold public meetings of citizens
and endeavor to arrive at an Intelli
gent conclusion as to how agricultural
experimentation may be carried on so
as to best serve each.
A small farm of 40 acres or less In
each district where experiments may
be carried on and the possible co-operation
of the general and state Gov
ernments In the work Is a part of the
plan as President Kerr has it in view.
The plan also provides for investi
gations along the lines of both Irriga
tion and dry farming. Even In the Ir
rigated districts best results are not
now obtained, due to the lack of infor
mation among the settlers as to proper
use of water, and demonstrations of
methods in these particulars are con
templated as a part of the plan. The
survey will begin as soon as Informa
tion can be secured with reference to
the availability of the Washington experts.
SHINGLE HILL BURNS
PLANT AT CASTLE ROCK GOES
CP IX FLAMES.
Number of Employes Have Narrow
Escapes Property Loss
Beaches $5000.
nefi.r Tjnpif Wnh A ii c 28. (Spe
cial.) Fire destroyed the shingle mill of
the Black Diamond Company between 3
and 4 o'clock this afternoon. The en
gineer went into the engine-room for a
few moments to start some part of the
machinery, and when he attempted to re
turn tn ths boiler-room he found the
whole place a mass of flames.
The fire raged so fiercely, owing to the
dryness of the building and combustible
no.Mra f thA contents, that the whole
structure was enveloped In flames before
the department reacnea tne scene.
Poor pressure of water added to the dif
ficulty and all that could be done was
to use the meager supply to save sur
rounding buildings. Part of the roof of
the toolhouse, which contained a quan
tity of paint and oil. was also burned,
but the fire was kept from spreading to
the Inflammable material inside.
Several of the men who were working
in the upper story had narrow escapes,
owing to the fact that the stairway was
near the boiler-room, and they were
forced to find other ways to get out.
This company has been very unfortu
nate, having lost Its former mill by the
flood of 190S, but had rebuilt a larger mill
and put in new machinery. The loss is
estimated to be about $5000.
