While it i greatly to be regretted that
our farmers did not receive the benefit
intended from the institute jnst closed,
the d ifficultv eeemstobave been from
the fact that this is their busiest season
and almost an impossibility for them to
leave the plow and other duties. Then,
too, the meeting was not advertised a
sufficient length of time before it oc
curred, giving them little chance to pre
pare to attend.
Surveyor Goit informs The Chronicle
that during the past two. years about
260 cash entries and homesteads have
been proven up on, for Wasco county
alone. Figuring on an average of a
quarter of a section to each settler this
makes sixty-five sections, or 41,600 acres
for the county, which have .been added
to the assessment roll in that time.
Averaging at about $3 an acre, this will
amount to $124,800.

the tourist travel on the Columbia river

that deficiency, as we understand sev

Fishing; Bill Is Dead.
INSTfTUTE CLOSES.
A dispatch from Salem Bays: . ' " '
Because of the omission of the enact
ing clause, bouse bill 297, which was
passed by the legislature last month is
not a law, though . it carried . the
emergency clause. Through this omis-x
sion fishermen and owners andoperatore
of fishing appliances will be relieved
from the necessity' of paying ttie license
provided by the bill, and the portions
of old fish and game laws which it ' was
aimed to amend are still in force.
The bill passed the house February 2nd
as introduced, but was amended in the
eenate and passed February 16th,' being
filed by Governor Geer soon afterward.
The omission was made by the senate
committee, to which it was referred, for
until they considered it the bill con
tained the necessary clause, as is ehown
by the report of the. committee, which
says, with regard to the amendments,
"Strike out all after the enacting clause
and iasert attached amendment." The
error was. not discovered until today,
when the enrolled bill was examined
No blame is attached to the house en
rolling committee." .

Good Attendance Last 'Night Many In
teresting Speeches.
About the same number were present
at the afternoon session of the institute
yesterday as in the morning. E. Schan-
no opened the meeting at 2 o'clock,
when Prof. Cordley spoke on "Fruit
Pests and Spraying." Before beginning
his address be congratulated the farmers
of this section on the absence of such
pests,' as, judging from the number of
persons present, they needed . no in
formation on the subject.
Many make the mistake of paying too
little attention to the soil, the condition
of which is often as injurious as the
pests. Trees are either planted where
the land is not drained or on hills which'
are too dry, and diseases are thus fos
tered which cannot be cured by spraying.
' The codlin moth is perhaps the worst
specimen of pest. If the method of
treating them here werethe same as in
the East, we would have better results.
Watch closely for any sign of them and
begin eprayiag. Last year the most
damage was done by the second brood.
Three times spraying was done in the
Willamette' valley, but the conditions
are so different here that the earns
means cannot be employed.
Mr. Walters, of White Salmon, asked
where larvae should be looked for. They
form under heavy bark, and often in the
rubbish near by ; more often on the
young" fruit than on the leaves. Spray
ing is stopped too soon. After getting
rid of the first brood, the second must
be fought. Care should be used in the
quality of the par is green OBed, failure
in spraying many times being due to a
poor article. . There is no remedy better
than lime, .sulphur and salt for the
San Jose scale.
. In speaking on the subject of "Tillage
a Factor in the Conservation of Moist
ure," Dr. Witbycombe said their prin
cipal object in. meeting here was to
come in contact with Eaetera Oregon
farmers and their needs. Experimental
stations are for the purpose of .studying
to make farming easier, and securing
better results. New methods must be
nsed or fn time the present condition of
the soil will fail and no grain' be pro
duced. The ground cannot be pulver
ized too much ; the more it ia gone over
the more moisture it will bold. Western
soil requires more moisture because it
does not retain it as does our soil- He
enlarged on the benefit deriyed from
experimental stations and agricultural
colleges.

well filled, and the program good. The
selections by the A. L. P. S. quartet
added greatly to. the success of the meet
ing, and the audience was fairly de
lighted with their singing, demanding
encore after encore, which tbey kindly
gave.
Dr. Sanders presided, aud the open
ing speech on the "Education of the
Future" was given by Dr. Shaw. He
said that year by year more was being
demanded of the farmer, and that he
must in order to be a success, study the
question 'from a scientific standpoint,
knowing the .minute details of his work, J
aud understanding it thoroughly. Such
a course as is given 'in agricultural col
leges is necessary, where practice and
theory are both taught, and where the
student studies nature. The boys are
instructed in mechanical art, under
standing their machinery ; in woodwork,
blacksmithing, etc.' Besides, their edu
cation in English, raatnmatic, . etc., is
carefullv carried on. The --department
! for youngjladies in these institutions are
very complete, practical lessons in dairy
ing are taught, and especial attention
given to -butter and cheese making.
Thus the bread winners will be assisted
by the bread mak-re.
He also spoke of the work of 'experi
ment stations, which touches so closely
the horticulture of the etite, and by in
vestigating tbe matter ran tell to a
nicety just what products are adapted to
certain soil. .
