Expert Farrner to Visit Madras Professor Shaw of University of Minnesota Is Making Tour of Central Oregon In The. Inter est of Better Farming. In explanation of the follow- ing article A. C. Sanford, Presi dent of the Madras Commercial Club, has received a communi cation from E. C. Leedy, Gener r al Immigration Agent of the 0reat Northern, stating that Professor Shaw, accompanied by his son and Professor Greely, of the Dakota Farmer, will visit Madras in the near future, upon a study of the farming conditions in Central Oregon. Mr. Leedy says that he trusts the f armers of this section will avail them selves of the opportunity given by Professor Shaw's visit to get the benefit of expert ady.ice from himself and party. The date of the .visit of these gentlemen to Madras is not yet known, but -!the Pioneer will try to obtain ad- yance information, so as to give . Tiptice to the farmers in this vi cinity in due time. '. Professor Thomas Shaw, of the de 'partment of animal industry in the University of Minnesota, who is making a survey of Eastern Oregon following attendance upon the Dry Farming Con- , ,gress, says that not to exceed 2 per cent of the and lands of the West can be reach rd by irrigation, whether liv ing streams or storage systems are con sulered. All of the remainder of the vast total, which aggregates tens of millions of acres of land in the 17 states comprised in the reclamation group, must be reached through dry farming methods, if at all. Because of this relative importance of such work, the the educator believes the greatest prob lem before conservationists is conserV' ing moisture. fahaw has given especial attention to work by the Great Northern in arid and semi-arid districts. The railway will make observations this year on more than 30 experiment farms main iuuieu atong lis line. inis work is being done in closest relationship with the farmers of the. regions named, and whenever an important fact is proved. the discovery is communicated to all the settlers of the Great Northern belt. These studies being prosecuted by the scientific workers of the railway system, the Federal Govemment work ers and the several state agricultural colleges, have the utmost significance. New principles of dry farming are being evolved. The best rotation in crops, the best varieties of cereals and other growths, the most effective Sum mer fallow and kindred topics are being proved. Pro essor Shaw says this work is revealing agricultural facts of the most far-reaching importance, and by the tiu.e that the study is perfected the conservation of moislure will attain its proper place. Eastern Oregon, which is being opened by the Hill and Harriman lines, is regarded as the ideal region for dry farming .methods. Roughly, it is be lieved that Eastern Oregon has 12,000, ui io,uuu,wu acres oi arame land now practically unproductive, but which OREGON 1EST FOR APPLES Oregon wsada the entire country th! year In apple production. The Depart rncnt of Agriculture's report on the eubject shows that on September 1, the condition of the state apple yield was 93 per cent of a full crop, while its nearest competitor, Washington, could show but 90 per cent. Taking the whole country, there Is less than half a crop, or 46.8 per cent of a full yield. The condition of the crop In the far Western States is the best of any section ox the country. While there are very few aectlons of the United States where apple grow ing la not profitable, none of the states have shown the great strides made by Oregon, Washington, California and Idaho, according to the report. This 19 due to the great care given the apple here, the scientific methods applied to its cultivation, and the minute attention to details that mark the gathering, packing and- marketing of the crop. Prices are the best for such fruit and Oregon apples bring a not price to the grower of 2 and $2.50 per box These apples have sold In London for $5.40 a box. The Oregon apple Industry Is capablo of almost unlimited expansion says the report Thousands of acres of land are being planted each year to new or chards and annually many acres of young trees are coming into bearing. Although some have predicted that Sh business would be overdone and excess- production would outrun demand, this has not proved to be the case. New markets have been found for the fruit and prices to growers have been stead ily rising as the crop Increased. NEW COUNTIES.
