STVPENTS' WOUR INSPECTED College Visited While Cl" Ar ir Session. ' . ' - ORKOOX AGF.lCrLTfRALCOI.LKGE. April IT. (Special.) After two -days of steady rain, even Old soi nimii v day was out to aid the people of Cor vallis and the students of Oregon Ag ricultural Coliegw. who entertained tile) visiting business men of Oregon, here to pass the day and evening on the O. A. C. -campus, inspecting the college buildings and equipment and seeing the rtottepta at thlr daily work. The visitors' Pullman train, consist ing of a baggase car. four sleepers, a diner-and an observation car. reached Corvallis this morning at 1:S0. o'clock, according to schedule. From 7:30 until o'clock representa tives of the Corvallis Commercial Club were at the train, which was run In on the Sixth-street tracks, meeting the Kuests aa they dismounted from their cars and taking them to the, Julian Hotel, where breakfast was served. One hundred and twenty-seven of the excursionists took breakfast at the hotel, many others being entertained at the homes of friends. When the 3 machines dropped the visitors at Waldo Hall, after a drive about tha campus and a tour through the college drill hall, which measures 12x300 feet, and Is exceeded In size by but one other college armory In the United States, there were more than 180 guests In the party. i Fifty officers of the O. A. C. cadet regiment were In waiting to serve as guides, each officer being assigned from three to six visitor. In the domestic aclence laboratories, which are In Waldo Hall, the visitors saw more than 60 college women in their white aprons and caps, prepar ing the banquet which they will serve for the excursionists this evening In the ladies' dining-room. The men. as well as the women, evidenced their special Interest in the work of the do mestic science girls, and one epicure expressed himself as "ready for a sample of the feast right now." From Waldo Hall the cadets showed their company through the green houses and then directed their march to Agricultural Hall, where the horti cultural, botanical, soologlcal. art, commerce, domestic art and agronomy departments were visited. The laboratory" classes In horticul ture were In session, and the students were seen making grafting wax and learning the proper methods of graft ing and budding fruit and nut-bearing trees of commercial Importance. In the market-gardening laboratories the classes were receiving Instructions In the preparation of garden products, such as rhubarb, asparagus and cauli flower for the fancy market. Power spraying apparatus of various kinds was also seen In operation. and demonstrations were given In the preparation of reliable spraying mixtures. The basis of all horticultural work was occupying the attention of- tha cU.txes in botany, which were In ses sron on the second floor of the--Agricultural building. The thoroughness with which the O. A. C. students are drilled in the fundamental requisites ol success In horticulture such as learn ing the structure of plants, investigat ing the effects of changing' heat, lleht, mositure conditions, etc., Immediately impressed the visitors. . In the general 'xoology classrooms the excursionists were given opportunity of seeing hw the students are taught the inter-dependence and close relationship of the plant and animal kingdoms, and the consequent necessity lor the man who would be successful in agriculture, to ralVe stock, as well as grains or fruits. The art students were seen at their dralirn and stencil work, which Is so f ordered as to teach the stuflents the proper appreciation of color schemes In Ifome decoration and furnishing. As the business men entered the cor ridor leading to the business ;practice laboratory of the school of-commerce their attention was attracted by . a 'farmer's roll-top desk,"' designed 'by Dean Bexell. head of the department. The desk contains the regular drawers In the left pedestal, while the rafht consists of one compartment, oc cupied by a small fireproof safe. In the laboratories, which are fitted up with bank and store offices, the classes were receiving actual training In- tha transaction of business In accordance with the methods employed by all mod ern concerns. Ttt domestic ' art girls appeared to advantage In tasty costumes made by the wearers as a pjrt of their regular class work. The milljnery girls were making $10 hats nut of materials cost ing less than one-fifth that amount, while, the classes in weaving gave demonstrations In basket work and mattings for home use. The last department visited ' before the noon drill by the cadets was that of agronomy, where the students gave demonstrations showing the different types of Oregon soils and their adapta bility to various crops. The visitors wera also shown the methods eijiploj-ed by students and successful farmers in testing the fertility of seeds before planting, thus Insuring the planters against heavy losses from the use of poor seeds..

In a word, to give them the material benefit of the years of experience behind the ex periment stations. Juarea.
