In a message to V. O.

Plenty of coal 'is available for; ships and the Port of Portland guarantees equality of port charges. Owing to water grades less motive power Is, required to reacfi ;Portland ' than other coast ports.

"Isct thet results procured by the eollere speak for themselves. There are 530 young men trained at the Oreron- AcrUultural- college- now serving their nation In the army and navy. At least 400 of these young men are nervine as commissioned and non-commissioned officers. The rank of ninety-five others is uncer tain and it is probable that most of them, on account of their previous miltarj training, are serving as of ficers.

Cupper, assistant state engineer, and vice presfdent of the alumni association of Oregon Agri cultural College, issued a statement yesterday defending his alma mater and in reply to "the resolution of Pomona grange which recently was drrected at the college and Its presi dent: W.

Results such as these rhonld spoak louder than the lasln nations of thoe who place; the stigma of unethical upon the train ing of the school, and urge the boys and girls of Oregon to remain away because, the institution Is an unfit place within which to "secure this training-. . , "The experiment station and ex tension department of the collere is tho organization through which the government Is largely working In Its efforts to secure an Increased food supply ror the nation. It has at tempted to place an agricultural aarent In- every county In the state In order to bring the work of the ex penment station In closer contact with fhe farmer, so that the federal government might have a more ef rectivo organization throneh which to work at, this time of great nation al necessity, f Example Is Cited. To cite an example, the survey or (am iiDor and crops which is in re tnade n February by the United State department of agriculture. will J most of the counties-of the state be done through the county agents, in those counties In which no such organization exists the sur vey is rendered more difficult. Sure ly such work as this Is not such as to render the college an unfit place for th youth of the state to attend. ""While the attendance of most of the colleges and universities In this eouatrv have fallen off this year Tak for themselves. He shows that It la endeavoring to bring scien tific experiment nearer to the farm er, lie points to the fact that most of the college's men who have en listed have been able to take coin missions because of the military training received while tney were ptndent? in the institution. Mr. Cupper 'say a: "It Is with reluctance 4hat I add anything t the to much that has already been said wjth reference to the recent action of the hoard of re gepts of Oregon Agricultural college, and the offer that President Kerr received from Kansas State college. However, the eontroversy has led the Pomona grange of this t county to attack the college itself and the work It is doing, and this see.tns to call for a statement of what the col lege is really doing. The members "f the board of regents, need no dea fens from me. comprising as they do the chief officers of the state of Oregon and leading business men of the state. iThe renutat I n these men have made for themselves and their itandiDr In-their resnective commun ities, which entitles them to the posi tions they hold, is the best defense of their action. It is absurd to think that these men have suddenly be come Irresponsible or crooked "and are a party -to' a -scheme to deceive the people of the state of Oregon and betray their trust. ; Predl?n: 1 Defended. "So It Is with President Kerr. The man who has won for himself such pn enviable place in the hearts of the people of this state through his untiring efforts and earnest endeav ors in the interest of yir educational and agricultural developments. Sure ly he cannot have so precipitously fallen froi grace as pome would lead nn to ldleve. A man is entitled o be indeed bv his work. President Kerr has publicly and privately. In the press and out f it. said that he trr'd to consider the presidency of 'the Kansas college. nd his stats inept f Is corroborated by 'the board ejf regents after a thorough Investl gatoan. I submit that those who will not accent this as true are not open to conviction. "An attack on the college itself, however, brings nn a different ques tion.

FOREIGN CANKER IS FOUND HERE First Report Comes of Seri ous Apple Tree Disease) in This Vicinity Specimens of a serious apple cank er , disease never before reported from Oregon were recently sent ta the Oregon Agricultural college from a plantinejof red cheek pippins near Salem by Andrew Vereter, act-f ing fruit Inspector for Marion coun ty. Th-se were identified by Pro fessor II. P. Flarss. plant pathologist at Oregon Agricultural college, as cases of the European apple ,tre canker, caused by a fifngus scien tifically known aa Nectrla Galligena. The disease Is one of the most se rious of all orchard troubles in Eu rope and Is common In the eastern United States and Canada, although Its destructlveness has not yet begun to approach that which it has1 as sumed in Europe. It is therefore highly important to the state-that Immediate steps lie taken to locate and eradicate tG disease if possible Thoa dls.of Pairs HI G H GRADE IS TO BE' 1HIS y u-ifiiL ran j 7 i L3UU Ask your neighhors about the wonderful bargains in shoes ihat we are offering They are buying them at their own price..

It is probable that the disease has been In the state for some time. That its presence has hitherto scaued detection is dne to the fact that un der Oregon conditions the cankers do not present the appearance typi cal or tne disease as It occurs in the east,-. Tne spore-nroducina- atari. oowever, was round on the speci mens Jusf secured and this rendered immediate Identification of thedJs- ease possible. . Profeor v Tlarsa vlsUed ttie or chard affected In company with Mr. vercier last Saturday -4 and , found that in a block of about 200 8-year od -red Cheek Pippins considerable damage was being done, several trees having been ruined and others severely Injured. Spitzenbergs and Newtowus in. the same orchard showed only a few cases of the trou ble and la milder form. Reports from Europa indicate that there 13 great difference in the susceptibility of different varieties to the trouble. It is to.be hoped that the leadinr commercial varieties In Oregon-will prove resistant, but no chances should be taken. . The' symptoms of the disease are not easy to describe. Specimens have been ili ft in the office of the fruit inspector and Salem Fruit union for examination by; growers. All grow ers having rankers of a similar char acter are asked to send specimens to Professor Barss at Corvallls for identification. The specimens may be sent without cost by securing (ranked tags at either office. Tne fungus enters the 'bark at some crack or wound or at the place wnere a hud or spur was attached. It causes a darkening of the bark about the place' of entrance and the injury gradually spreads farther Intp the 'healthy bark advancing from year to year and often killing the part attacked through the final girdling. The bark of the canker is Irregularly cracked or fissured and becomes hard and dry. Sometimes the bark drops away leaving the wood exposed. The cankers usually Increase In size slowly from year to year and spraying does not check their advance. Surgical methods in volving the removal of badly .affect-. ed limbs and vlhe cutting out of tl remaining cankers with disinfectk of the wound with Bordeaux pas are. suggested as the best meins dealing with the disease.
