Thursday, March 28, 1912. The Experiment Farm Central Oregon is to be congra tulated on the visit of President W J. Kerr, of the Oregon Agri cultural College and his associa te to this section of the state for the purpose of selecting sites for experiment stations in this part of the State. Of course each lo cality thinks it is the best possi ble and only feasible location for the college experts to study con ditions of this great section. We will not enter into a family quar rel with any of. our neighbors, in this regard,for we couldent con vince them that our locality is he best, nor they convince us af fVioir's is best. The fact that one site already) been selected ancfanotner win be in a short time, and actual stu dy made of the. favorable and un favorable agricultural conditions, by men 'who have given their life to scientific work along these lines, is the good news developing rom the visit of these gentlemen. Inrthe course of their experiments, they will under take to determine the exact, rea sons why certain crops fail un der certain conditions, and will suggest curativevmeasures with a view to overcoming those dis- advantages which can. be over come by scientific treatment. The benefits of such an estab lishment, aretoo many to attempt to name them all. Th&m'ere fact that the authorities havesuffi.cient faith in this community, will have the desired effect, namely, of causing many who have doubted the pfactie.it -value of . this part of the state to withhold their judgment until further experi ments 'have been made. Those dissatisfied ones who. have con tinued to "knock" this section, throuffh eodd seasons and bad, will continue their-activity, but with less effect now that official experiment farms are soon to be located here. The practical as sistance which the officials , will be able and willing to give to the ranchers, may possibly help ma ny o'f them to get their first act ua'.'' start toward prosperity. . The whole of Central Oregon - will profit, regardless of the locations'-of the farms, and we con- oalnlaf-e- the entire section of the state. We only hope that the University authorities will not delav in making their choice of tW'p second site, and that the actual establishment of the sta tinns will be .brought about as promptly as possible. teau, on to the humid lanas where the clouds irrigate the crops there is wide and diversi fied range. Oregonian Plan A Storied Region The water power of the grea Columbia Basin,, as listed by the "United State3 Goelogical Survey in it3 recently published . report, is one of those tremendous re sources, the volume of which staggers imagination and brings ' human concention to a halt This report tells us that this great river of ,the Pacific Water ; shed has a drainage area of 259. 000 square miles; its source is in ' British Columbia and with tor tuous windings in and out anlong dark defiles and hidden moun tain passes, as if ordered by nature, to drain the greatest pos sible area, it winds back and forth in the province in which 1 its beginning lie, and draws from ' countless tributaries in Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, Nevada, Wash ington and Oregon in like devious ways, until its waters are 'finally buried in the bitter moon-mad sea." The navjgable waters of Getting 'Back to the "Show Ale The State Immigration Board advocates an appropriation that will enable the promotion and publicity of Oregon to partici pate in the land shows which are permanently established in the Middle West. The value of these land show exhibits is well illustrated by the experience of San Diego County, Caifornia, which main tains .a spendid showing on that circuit of Middle West cities; keeping a competent man in charge as lecturer for the greater part of the year. The results from that enterprise are most encouraging. , The show itsef is responsible for a considerable percentage of the best immigra tion to San Deigo County, and as between that immigration and the San Diego land exhibit there is not the slightest difficuty in establishing connection. It is not a boast to say that Oregon is more favorably equip ped for the maintenance ot an attractive land show than South ern California, or any portion of it. In that respect, the Willa mette Valley counties ot the state need fear no rivalry in any section of the country, and as the land show business can be made a county affair, each coun- ;y could get its due share and results. The Telegram will repeat what it has "said in effect a number of tuties before, namely, that ;he time has arrived to supple ment printer's-ink advertising by an actual exhibit of what we have and what we do in this state. It is that sort of adver tising which interests Eastern people more than any other. In fact, 'they have had so much of the other that they are becoming somewhat indifferent toward it. Moreover; it needs verification in the minds of many , while the land exhibit carries its own ver ification. We cannot spend pub licity money in any better way. Evening Telegram. the state and each of the seven will have a booth built for their exhibit. The governor has been asked to confer with officers of the league in this state and secure the interest of those who are capable of collecting and install ing an exhibit which will be a credit to the state officers in the work. Under this plan no county nor community will have an ad vantage over others in the state. Any city, county or reputable land company desiring to make an independent exhibit will be able to secure a limited amount of space adjoining the state ex hibit on reasonable terms.
