GRASSGROWING IN
EASTERN OREGON
Dr. James Withycombe, of the State
College of Agriculture at Corvallis,
Has Been Appointed Special Agent
by the Department at Washington,
D. C.
Di.Jiitnes Withycombe, of tbe State
Agricultural College nt Corvallis, is reg
istered at the Imperial, on his return to
Oregon, after having spent several weeks
in visiting the livestock shows which
have been held throughout the Eastern
cities. Ho says that after a careful ex.
nniinatiou, he finds thut tbe only thing
Oregon lucks in U:e way of fine, blooded
stock is lame numbers of them.
At present Dr. Withycombe is under
taking the propagation of certain grasses
in Eastern Oregon. He auid:
"W o are about to start a co-operative
graBS-growing experiment in Eastern
Oregon in connection with the depart
ment of agriculture ut Washington, I).
C. 1 have been appointed special agent
to act between the government and the
college in this matter. The problem of
furnishing grasses to renovate the
pitBtures of Eastern Oregon is one of tbe
greatest importance. We recognize that
the conditions in EaBtern and Western
Oregon are widely different, owing to
climatic and other circumstances. Tbe
funnels are becoming alert to the im
portance of unimui husbandry, and are
doing their best to help tbe work along.
This state is adapted for etockraising,
and agriculture must develop along that
line. We must be able to grow certain
grasses bo that the stock will have good
feed on the ranges.
"Tbe stockmen are doing much to in
crease the importance of Oregon ub a
stockruising country, and are bringing
in some of the best cattle and sheep to
tie purchased in the East. At tbe Inter
national Livestock show held at Chicago,
all of tho best sheep were purchaeed by
Oregon people and will be shipped to
this stute. I bought an Aberdeen Angus
heifer calf for Mac Porter, of Benton
county, paying $1000, and Mr. Porter is
now in this city, awaiting the arrival of
this city, awaiting the arrival of his calf.
The breed is of tho host, und it is quite
uu accession to the blooded stock of the
Northwest.
"Some time ugo, two shorthorn calves
were purchased by W. O. Miner, at
lloppuer, for .f2500, und they are now
installed on his ranch. C. E. Ladd's
ugeut is now in Canude. selecting tbe best
shorthorn cuttle bo eiui find, and others
are doing similur work.
"The college ut Corvallis is in a most
prosperous condition. At present, there
is tbe largest enrollment the college has
hud since it was organized. Many in
quiries ure being received from farmers
in regard to matters of general interest
to thoui, and tbe outlook along all lines
is most encouraging."

I Hull In Confident. f I .
Wamiingto.v, Dec. 27 Representative
Hull, chairman of the house committee
on military affairs, apparently does not
share the fear expressed in some quarteis
that the army reorganization bill will
fail at this session of congress and a
makeshift temporarily continuing the
present arrangement resorted to.
"I have canvassed the situation in the
senate," said he today, "and I believe
that the differences between the two
houses upon the measure will be ad
justed within a week after the bill goes
to conference."
Knhbml tlie Crave.
A startling incident, of which Mr.
John Oliver of Philadelphia, was the
subject, is narrated by him as follows:
"I was in a most dreadful condition. My
skin was almost yellow, eyes sunken,
tongue coated, pain continually in back
and sides, no appetite gradually grow
ing weaker day by day. Three physi
cians had given me up. Fortunately, a
triend advised 'Electric Bitters'; and to
my great joy and surprise, the first
bottle made a decided improvement. I
continued their use for three weeks, and
am now a well man. I know they saved
my life, and robbed the grave of another
victim." No one shouldfail to try them.
Only 50c, guaranteed, atBlakeley's drug
