It is barely possible now hat
Madras will net the experiment
station promised for Central Ore- j
gon. As soon as it became known
that this section of the state was
to get a station, the Farmers'
Union took the matter up and
were successful in getting the
donation of one of the best 160
acre ranches on Agency Plains
only a short distanci from Mad
ras for their purpose. For the
present the name of the farmer
making the generous offer is
withheld.
The following letter from W.
J. Kerr, president of the Oregon
Agricultural College, to H. J.
Branstetter, president of the
Farmers' Union of Crook county,
explains the situation:
Corvnllla, Ore., Dccomber 4, 1911.
Mr. H. J. Branntcttcr,
Prcfl. FnrmerH' Union of Crook Co.,
Mndrns, Ore.
My dear Sir:
Upon my return from the East, I find
your fnvor of the 9th ultimo, in which
you proffer to furnish 1G0 acres of land,
all under cultivation, with residence,
barn, etc., for use for demonstration
and experimental purposes. We very
much appreciate your interest in this
work, and your offer of assistance. As
soon as possible n little later, a com
mittee of the College will visit that
part of the state for the purpose of
looking over the situation and making
preliminary arrangements for the in
auguration of the proposed demonstra
tion and experimental work. We are
very much interested in the develop
ment of that section of the state, and
assure you that the assistance of the
people in our efforts to promote such
development will be very much appre
ciated. Your communication Is being
plnccdon file for reference at surh time
as it'mny be possible for us to take up
the matter definitely of arranging for
the work mentioned.
Very sincerely yours,
W. J. KERR.
The sum of $10,000 has been
subscribed and turned over -to
the college to be used as the au
thorities see fit in beginning the
experimental work in Crook
county. Of this amount $3000
was subscribed by the county
court of Crook county, $2000 by
the business men of Portland and
$2500 each by the O.-W. R. & N.
and Oregon Trunk railways. It
is the intention of these people
to support the station until such
time as the state legislature can
by proper appropriation assume
the responsibility.
The farm will be in charge of
two experts from the college.
The most important part of the
plans is the co-operative work
which will be carried on with
the farmers of this district.

New Town Between Redmond and
Bond Shows Signs of Becoming
Great Shipping Point
On another page is an ad from !
the Central Oregon Irrigation
Company, who are doing so
much in putting ftie new town
between Redmond and Bend on
the map,. The new town is on
the O.-W. R. & N. and Oregon
Trunk lines and will no doubt
become a great shipping point
for all the country surrounding.
They have just installed one of
the most complete water systems
in the state, 13,000 feet of mains
. have been laid and the .pressure
!is sufficient for fire protection.
,The Central Oregon Irrigation
Company is expending hundreds
of thousands of dollars in the
completion of its system to put
215,000 acres of rich land under
irrigation. They already have'
about a third of this land under
water. Considerable construction
is under way at present and in
another few months they expect
to have one of the best towns
along the line. The office build
ing of the above company is a
thoroughly modern, up-to-date
structure, two stories high, and
measuring 34x44 feet; built of
pink volcanic tufa rock. There
is a railroad agent stationed there
and a telegraph office has ben
established.
