for Stock,
Final plans for conducting the "al- I
falfa special" through western Wash
ington, dipping for a day into Oregon, j
were discussed at a conference In Spo
kane and Colfax a diiy or so ago by
John Scott Mills of the Oregon-Wash
ington Railroad & Navigation company,
and the advance, man for Professor P.
O. Holden, Agricultural expert who will
direct the party of lecturers.
Mr. Mills today said every town
through which the train will pass is
planning to afford Entertainment for
tho travelers as well rs arrange gath
erings of farmers to hear about In
tensive farming and the production of i
beef cattle on cultivated land.
The special will leave Spokane Sep
tember 25, and work southward to
Tekoa that day. The following day will
be passed between Oakesriale and St.
John and the1 party will reach Walla I
Walla Tuesday afternoon. September 30.
October 1 and 2 will be spent in Oregon,
beginning at Milton and winding tip nt
Hermlston. Crossing Jnto Washington
October 5, the special "will reach North
Yakima the following night.
It Is possible that Professor Holden
may be secured for a trip over Oregon
later, rbssibly during tho winter or I
early spring. His mission Is to demon- I
ctrate the profits In raising alfalfa as
food for cattle and hogs on the land in- ,
stead of producing It merely as hay.
With the increase of corn production
the ultimate idea la to Induce the rais
ing and "finishing" of stock for market !
