means by which the county could procure
land for an experiment station for the
counties bordering on the Columbia River

tween President ". J. Kerr, of the Agri
cultural College, and business men of
this section developed the fact that an
effort will be made to have a bill en
acted by the legislature next Winter
providing funds for the establishment of
an experiment station in either Gilliam
or Sherman Counties, and President Kerr
suggested that the people of this county
hold a meeting and place themselves In
a position to make an offer of a site, or
sites, for a dry land experiment farm.
J. A. Smith, one of the large farmers
of 2he Blalock section, addressed the
meeting to the effect that he considered
an experimental station to be of great Im
portance to Eiastern Oregon. Improvement
of methods of cultivation of the soil in
the dryer portion of the country means
an increase of million of bushels of
grain to the state.

in the Winter, when the Coos Bay

that their only outlet was in the West.
It was not a question of price. Condi

drastic reductions.
