head full of his morning sermon and

appreciated the situation and, after a few

THE COLLEGE FAKM.
Department of Agriculture of
the Oregon Agricultural Col
lege . Of all the departments at the Oregon
Agricultural College, that , of agriculture
itself is of the most direct interest to
those engaged in farming. The head of
this department of the college work is
Prof. H. T. French, who is also the sta
tion agriculturist, and directs all the ex
periments connected with this depart
ment. ... 1
The college farm contains 145 acres,
and is well equipped with barns, stock,
machinery, etc. A portion of the farm
is divided into small experiment plats,
upon which are planted various varieties
of grains, grasses and vegetables that are
to be' tested. The next year those varie
ties that seem to promise good results,
arc tested further ou the larger fields of
the farm. Iu this manner there have
been tested 80 varieties of wheat, 25 to 30
of oats, 10 of barley, 400 varieties of po
tatoes and also a large variety, of roots.
Of the 400 varieties of potatoes 100 have
been found to be well adapted to this soil
aud climate and are being grown this
year.
Each year sample packages of seed
froui the various promising varieties of
grains, grasses aud vegetables are distri
buted among' the - farmers 'of the state.
Those receiving the seeds are requested
to try them aud report results to the sta
tion. In many instances years elapse
before reports reach the department
which makes it impossible to estimate
the benefits that are constantly accruing
to the state indirectly through the depart
ment of agriculture. To illustrate the
force of this statement Prof. Freuch says
that three years ago this spring he sent a
pound of potatoes to a farmer iu Mariou
county for trial.- The sample was of the
Rubicund variety and promised excellent
results. Nothing was heard at the station
relative to the experience of the Marion
county farmer and it was supposed that
the potatoes had proved a failure. Last
week, however, Professor . French was
agreeably surprised at receiving a letter
from the genUetnan, stating that the po
tatoes were a great success. From the
single pound of seed received three years
ago, he had grown, last year, 300 bushels
of fine marketable potatoes for which he
had received an advauce of 10 cents per
bushel over the price received by his
neighbors.
This, of course, is only one of the
many similar iustances showing the bene
ficial results that are accruing to the
farmers of Oregon through the work car
ried on at the experiment station.
From the different varieties of wheat
that have been tested under the direction
of Prof. Freuch one has been found that
seems to be especially adapted to our soil
aud climatic conditions. . This variety is
called "No. 10." Its points of superiori
ty over other wheats are numerous, and
its general cultivation throughout the
state will increase the farmers' incomes
many thousands of dollars annually.
No. io" is a hard wheat of excellent
milling quality aud matures fully two
eki earliir than the common white
winter wheat. In Western Oregon, par
ticularly, .where grant is frequently lost
on account of early, fail rains, this point
in favor of "No. 10" is one that wheat
growers will readily appreciate. Xnia
variety also yields well, averaging, last
year, ou the college farm a little over 32
bushels per acre aud, besides it averages
62 poutids to the bushel, being probably
the heaviest wheat grown in the state.
Another thing that Prof. French has
demonstrated is, that corn can be sucess-
fully grown in Oregon. He advises far
mers to grow a few acres of it on their
summer fallow each year for feed. By
feediug it to hogs, the professor says,
corn cau be made a profitably crop.
Years ago it was claimed that clover
could not be growu successfully in this
state, but that idea has been exploded by
the experiments carried on at the college
where it is raised in large quantities each
year. Last year tne yield was not above
the average, yet 96 tons of choice clover
bay was harvested from 23 acres of mea
dow.
Praf. French is authority for the state
ment that stock ought not to be allowed
to run on pasture during the wet season.
Besides destroying the grass by constant
ly tramping over it while the ground is
wet and soft, the stock is exposed to the
cold winds and rains, which is injurious
and causes them, to lose in weight. By
keeping stock in small enclosures dur
ing the winter months and feeding them
straw, with a little hay and bran, they
can be kept growing at slight expense per
had aud will be in good condition in the
spring.
.The chief line of work settled upon for
the present by th$ department of agricul
ture, is dairying. Experiments will be
made in feeding milch cows to determine
the effect of different kinds of feed upon
the production of milk and along this
line the attention will be given to the
matter of growing forage plants. ' These
experiments will be made with a view to
furnishing' the farmers of Oregon with
reliable iuformation bu the subject of
dairying.
Four years are required to complete
the course in agriculture. After the
first two years, the student can select his
industrial work and may made a special
ty of horticulture; dairying or stock
raising. The first two years, however, a
regular compulsory course," including
four terms in blacksmithiug and wood
working, is prescribed for all agricul
tural students.
Prof. H. T. French, who is in charge
of this important department, has been
connected with the college for 8 years,
one year as superintendent of the farm,
and the last seven years as professor of
agriculture. He graduated from the
Michigan Agricultural college in 1885.
with the degree of B. S. ' During the
next four years he was employed as an
assistant on the Michigan college farm
and, during that time, took a post gradu
ate course and in 1889 had conferred up
on him the degree of Master of Science.
Prof. French is attentive to his duties and
many of the experiments he has conduct
ed since being connected with the Ore-
eon Agricultural College, have been of
great value to the state. He is affable
and accommodating and is intelligently
active in promoting the welfare of those
engaged in tilling the soil.

CHANGING IT'S POLICY.
Ed. Gazette: Although but little has
been heard, of late, concerning the A. P,
A., it seems that the order is still alive,
However, judging from the following,
it has learned a severe lesson. The dec
laration of Mr. Thomson is a practical
confession of that which many members
have hitherto denied. ..
"The A. P. A. (of St. Louis Mo.) is
about to change the policy it has advo
cated since its inception nine years ago,
H. A. Thomson, a member. of the na
tional advisory board in i8g5-'96, in
speaking of the general work of the A.
Pi A., said: ... . j
'I am convinced now that the A; P.
A. has expended its energies in the wrong
direction and has faded to pursue the
wisest-course. Our policy has been to
defeat any member of the Roman Catho
lic chnrch who was a candidate for office,
regardless of his oersonal merits or de
ments. Now, I believe there are nun
dreds of thousands of Catholics in the
United States who are as truly and gen
uiuelv loyal to this country and its insti
tutions as I am. and when we have an
tagonized such men, we have committed
a grave error. - '
" 'In the future we should oppose and
will oppose wrong principles instead of
waging war tipon individuals. This
the sentiment of Uie; more intelligent
and advanced portion ofthe member

tion.' " fe .

TEN YEARS AGO.
Time makes wondrous changes in the
affairs of men. The approaching: city
election, with its list of candidates, re
minds the citizens of Corvallis that "tern
pus fugits." In recalling" the election of
ten Years aco. we find that the new: fast
crowds the old. .
Then J. O. Wilson was chosen mayor,
Way man St. Clair, recorder, A. Py-
gall, marshal, and F. G. Clark, treasur
er. The aldermen were M. S.. Neugass,
Max Friendly, B. R Job, Z. H. Davis,
P. P. Grcffoz, Alex Campbell, J. R.. Bry
on, Thomas Graham and J. H. Lewis.
Of these! St. Clair, Friendly aud Graham
have since died, others have moved and
only, four out of the thirteea officers
elect.d that year will vote at the coming
election. f !
J. . B. Lee, J. M. Applewhite, judge
Burnett, Judge McFadden, Judge Kel-say-
and E. Woodward have been; the
subsequent mayors. Among those since
elected to the office of recorder were St.
Clair, Arthur Spaulding and Johnson
Porter.
Of all the present candidates, not one
filled a city office ten years ago. .
POLITICAL POINTERS.

cers, the official family is not altogether

There will be no politics involved in
the. coming city election. For mayor,
the present r capabie officer," E. Wood
ward, is very generally mentioned.'
Johnson Porter, Ed Greffoz and Frank
Lilly are in the field for police judge,
and Jesse Spencer, Bird Wells and Wm.
Moore would accept the position of chief
of police: Father ' Cauthbrn will,
doubtless, succeed himself as treasurer.
Judge O. N. Denny, who may be the
next minister to Hawaii, has already
proved his worthiness to represent the
United States in a foreign . country." His
appointment would be a wise one in ev
ery respect." '-. r '
The Albany Democrat remarks: "H.i
W. Scott, of Portland, a brother of Abi-;
gail Scott Dunniway, has gone east on a
trip. It is supposed he will visit Wash
ington before he returns."
Linn county" populists are rowing. The
Herald, in a .tectat issue, s&5& - '-'Rep
resentative J. S Smith, who figured con
spicuously in the recent legislative hold
up, experienced a hold-up of his own
yesterday.' Recently Mr. Smith, togeth
er with, several ofthe populist ''county
officers, purchased of J. A. Finch, the
Imprint, the populist paper of this city.
It seems that all of the purchase price
had not been paid, and yesterday at noon
Mr. Finch, who had not tnrned over the
bill of sale or the keys of the building,
upon which he holds a lease until July,
proceeded to take possession of the office.
When Mr. Smith arrived, . he found the
door locked. He kicked out the glass
door and went in and then trouble began.
He threatened to throw. Mr. ! Finch out,
but the latter stood his ground and, it is
said, a big six-shooter, while not brought
into actual use, was a persuader against
a physical encounter. Mr. Finch and
the new proprietor both held the fort un
til arrangements were made for an ami-
cable .settlement. Mr.
Finchji
in the
meantime, has purchased a saw . plant
aud will soon start", another ' populist pa
per. A general airing ot some, 'of the
populist maneuvers behind the scenes
may be looked for."
The Roseburg Review--Bryan -demo
cratic is mad and remarks that the sil
ver democrats, silver , republicans and
populists are going to fuse . next "year,
whether the populists so desire or do not
desire. The recent populist declaration
against fusion caused the outbreak.
A GOOD APPOINTMENT.
The Oregon congressional delegation
have recommended Judge O. N. Denny
for minister to Hawaii. Judge Denny is
a brother off Mr. John Denny, of Al
bany. , He has had wide experience in
the diplomatic service, of this country
and is a man of culture and ability, who
will do credit to the nation and his own
state. Albany Herald.
