four stops there was much interest ana
Vie crowds of farmers seemed eager to

the train. They wanted to know about
, dairying processen demonstrated by
vie U. A. C. professors. Everywhere

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

laboring claases.

"I have preached In and out of sea

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

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:

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

2.000,000 Acres In Fruit.
'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.

California ships prunes to the extent

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

Dairy products of the Willamette
Valley are also bound to increase to a

Oregon will turn out dairy products to

all of which come from the Willamette
Valley. Washington County.- the
pioneer in milk condensers, will turn
out dairy products worth about $1,000.

"'Within the next ten years. It is esti

watched the dairy industry In this Val

the product of the state in this line
alone will be valued annually at not
less than $.0.000. OwO. and the fruit in
