At each of the four stops there was much interest ana Vie crowds of farmers seemed eager to 1-arn of the more advanced ijethods In vsrlculture. Farmers- wives tliroii-ced the train. They wanted to know about , dairying processen demonstrated by vie U. A. C. professors. Everywhere 1 im were brlKht-faced children who Jstened wuterly to the practical talks on up-to-date farming. The commission appointed by the Fres Ment to dispel the isolation and drudgery of farm life could certainly accomplish that work if it would furnish such an i-bjeet lesson as this demonstration train throughout rural America. Such trains this one mean an end to the sTiud inrt toil and poverty that make many a farmer despair. The irospel preached irom this train Is that of profitable ag riculture with less work, more money and leisure for the farmer for educa tion and enjoyment. It means the dis appearance of tiie hopeless drudgery that now drives the children of the farms to the cities, there to sink into unrecofrnii abls unit of the mass of the poorer laboring claases. lirm Best Pla-e for Boys. "I have preached In and out of sea son." said Dr. IVithyrombe today, "tor the farmers- tons to stay on the farm. They are a thousand times better off than In the cities. Why should they go to town and lose their individuality by working for a wage that barely keep soul and body together? Why should they become mere parts of a machine, mere clerks behind a counter, when they can be independent on the farm and ca pable. Intelligent and buppy members of the community?" After large numbers of farmers had inspected the train and witnessed the demonstrations at Albany and Shedd to day. Harrisburg. the lunch station. turned out the biggest and most inter ested crowd of the day. The stores had closed and the townspeople joined with the farmers In viewing the exhibits. Hadges of welcome for the party, bear ing the legend. " Better Farms, Better Fruit. Better Stock Around .Harrisburg." iad been prtnted and were generally worn. . J. C. Pabln. a prominent storkgrower here, had a fine showing of Galloway stork at the train for inspection by the visitors. There were 11 animals that had captured several hundred prizes at variovs stock shows throughout the country and the leader of the herd proudly wore many of his blue ribbons. Party to Attend Church Today. "The coming- of this train will accom plish much for our people," said George J. Wilhelm. a Harrisburg banker. "We want to know all about dairying, for that Is what this county is chiefly in terested in. The farmers around here will learn a great deal from this train. I wish these trains came to Harrisburg oftener." Junction City was the last stop today and turned out a good crowd. Tonight the working party on ttoard declined en tertainment tendered at Eugene, for the members are tired from the week's work. The college professors ayd railroad men retired early and will spend tomorrow resting. They wilt attend church to morrow morning" under the leadership of A. A. Morse, who is in charge of the train for the traffic department of the Southern Pacific. A few of the profes sors returned to their homes at Cofvallis to spend Sunday, but will return here Monday morning to rejoin the party. Spend Today at Eugene. Tomorrow will be spent by the dem onstration train party at Eugene. R B. Miller, general freight agent for the Harrlman lines in this state, has : telegraphed A. A. Morse. In charge of the train since Mr. Millers return to Portland, to entertain the entire party with a dinner Sunday afternoon. The function will serve to keep the party together and will relieve the tedium of the trip to those actively at work. Jn making it a success. J just night, after the day's work of the train was over, the last demo onst ration having been given at Wells dale, the train was run to Corvallis for the night and those on board were 'entertained at the Commercial Club. Numbers of Corvallis people went through, the train and Inspected the exhibits. Demonstrations were not conducted. because practically the same work Is carried on at the Ore gon Agricultural College at that city. However, many wanted to see the ar rangement of the exhibits by the Ag ricultural College stafr. and they ex pressed themselves as pleased with the practical and attractive nature of the showing. Professor A. B. Cord ley. entomolo gist at the Oregon Agricultural Col lege, joined the train at Corvallis this morning. He was unable to start with it.' but until this time his assistant. Professor F. C. Kwlng. has carried on the demonstrations In that branch of the work. Professor Cordley will ac company the train during the remain: der of the trip. Great Future for Valley. That the most sanguine hopes of the farmers who are adopting modern ' methods will be rcallxed In the Wil lamette Valley once they undertake the improved ways of producing their crops, is being Impressed upon them bv C A. Malbouef. district freight agent for the Southern Pacific, who Is accompanying the train. He is sup piled with a mass of statistics that prove the great development in store for the Willamette alley. "There are S.uOO.nort acres of fruit Jnnds lying west of the Oiscade Moun tains in this state." said Mr. Malboeuf. -Today there are less than 3."i..00 acres In bearing orchards. The total ship ments of fruit green, dried and canned Is snout 1500 cars a year. When the present acreage is all In bearing, with ing the next six or seven years, ship ments ought, under ordinary conditions, to multiply ten fold.

'The Willamette 'Valley has over 2.000,000 acres of fruit lands, not count ing the hill sections. Shipments of fruit are limltfd. except dried, which amounts to about 20.000.000 pounds a year. But every county in the valley Is setting out fruit. Marion, Lane and Clackamas especially planting pears and cherries, while the berry industry has already assumed lrge proportions. Markets depend, of course, on uie es tablishment of canneries and the ship ment of the fruit green In refrigerator cars. In Washington berries have been Jilnned under ice satisfactorily, and cherries safely across the country under refrigeration. "Prune cro.ns of this state are in- ..-i,., ..il-iv the better care ana Improved markets helping this product along. The recognition 01 hih prune In the East is increasing so as to Justify a much larger production. California ships prunes to the extent of 103,000 tons a year, while Oregon sends away barely i.,uuu ions. 10.000 Cars Applet Yearly. The production of apples in the fnlted Slates has averaged for the past 15 years about 250.000 cars. i no product is actually decreasing, especial ly In the Kastern States, while the oroductlon of the Pacific Coast Is in creasing. This Coast will be a large future source of supply as iar as mo higher grades of apples are concerned. Oregon shipped last year a trifle less than 1000 cars. There should be an In crease In shipments of 50 per cent per vear during the next six or seven years, based on the new acreage not yet yield ing. After that time, production will depend upon conditions as they exist then. Within eight years from now there ourht to be shipped away from this state 10.0C0 cars of apples a year. Apples gro.vn in the Willamette Valley are Just as good as those grown any where when care is given this fruit The Valley apple possesses great 8weetne.sand in that respect compares with the very best apples grown in the Eastern States. Dairy products of the Willamette Valley are also bound to increase to a great" extent. During the present year Oregon will turn out dairy products to the valne of nearly 20,00?,000. nearly all of which come from the Willamette Valley. Washington County.- the pioneer in milk condensers, will turn out dairy products worth about $1,000. 000. Yamhill is following closely In the steps of her sister county and will soon have three milk condensers in opera tion. Creamery stations are being established everywhere through the Valley. In Lane County Monday. "'Within the next ten years. It is esti mated by competent people who have watched the dairy industry In this Val ley closely since it was established, the product of the state in this line alone will be valued annually at not less than $.0.000.
