That the experiment farms
maintained in Eastern Oregon
under the supervision of the Ore
gon Agricultural College have ac
complished as much as weather
conditions permitted during the
season ifr bringing record crops to
that part of the state is the be
lief of those in close touch with
the work being done. This state
ment is based on the fact that
crops raised at the experiment
farms and by farmers under the
direction of the college experts,
yieded from 20 to 30 per cent
larger returns than was secured
under old methods
Special attention has been paid
lo growing corn and field peas,
both crops being successful.
Their great value to Eastern
Oregon is that they improve the
soil by keeping it free from
weeds if not actually adding to
its fertility, and besides, give
great encouragement to the live
stock industry, one of the most
important assets of that section
of the state.
