Interesting Papers Read and Address
es Made Farmers Took Deep In
terest In Scientific Subjects Pre
sented. La Grande, March 21. The second
day's session of the Farmers' Insti
tute opened with a larger attendance
than yesterday. The program was
begun with a musical selection by
the La Grande Glee Club.
Professor Knlsely read a paper on
"Plant Food In the Soil," which was
followed by Dr. Withycornbo on "For
age Plants," In which the subject of
depleted ranges and the cure was
thoroughly discussed. The speaker
has made a deep study of the grasses
that furnish forage for the herds of
the West and his findings are origi
nal and valuable. He urges fanners
to seed down a small area of foothill
pasture, each year, with some of the
nardy grasses that are recommended
Or dry soil and climate. Brome grass
Is the most valuable of the hardy J
forage plants yet experimented with,
and Dr. Withycomb says Its Intro
duction on the foothill pastures will
.partly restore the "run down" ranges.
At the afternoon session Dr. Withy
comb addressed the institute on
"Swlno Husbandry."
He took up swine raising from the
practical standpoint and reviewed
tho Industry In Oregon.
The Willamette valley farmers are
greater hog raisers, generally speak
ing, than those of Eastern Oregon,
and yet the natural advantages in
Eastern Oregon excel those of the
wet counties.
He made a pointed talk on the
profits of swine raising, coupled with
wheat farming. Tho extra expense
of preparing to keep hogs on the
large farm Is comparatively small,
while the grain that otherwise goes
to waste, in tho stubblefields and
straw stacks, is sufficient to keep a
large number of hogs. Waste fruit,
foothill pasturo and creek bottoms,
that cannot bo profitably utilized for
any other purpose can bo made to
support enough hogs to pay a hand
some profit.
Ho called attention to the fact that
Oregon farmers are buying Omaha
bacon and lard, and Oregon packers
aro shipping In Nebraska hogs in car
load lots, solely because the Oregon
farmer will not own enough hogs to
supply local demands.
Dr. B. N. Hutchinson mado a short
talk on crop production, dealing with
tho feterllizlng processes necessary
to keep alive tho virgin strength of
tho soil. He commended tho practico
of summer fallowing, or soil rest pe-
Sale a Success.
As showing the difference between
bona fide advertising and the fake
and bombastic kind, the success of
the celebration sale of the Peoples
Warehouse during this week shows
how quick people see the difference.
Their store has been busy and crowd
ed all tho week each day, busier than
the one before, because people bought
and told their neighbors of the bar
gains they had found. Beginning
next Monday. March 23. the Peoples
Warehouse offers choice bargains.
Every department will be represented
and the opportunities for money-saving
as good as the week before. Their
large volume of business in connec
tion with their immense buying en
ables them to offer every day staple
articles at lower prices than any
other store. Don't fall to visit the
cloak department of the Peoples
Warehouse.

MORE TAXABLE PROPERTY.
Over 40,000 Acres of Land Added to
Morrow County's Roll.
Assessor W. L. Sailing's office is
now a busy place, says tho Hoppner
Gazette. The assessor is now at
work on the new assessment blanks,
which havo Just been received, in list
ing the property.
The ownership record is nbout up,
and field work will be commenced
about tho first of April.
The work of bringing the ownership
record up to date has been greater
than ever before known in tho history
of the county, in fact the labor is
more than doubled, which has been
caused by so many transfers and tho
entering of a largo amount of land
which has been acquired from tho
government and state, by individuals.
Air. Saling estimates tho Increase
In assessed valuation at about 20 per
cent over last year. The increase in
land values has had a tendency to
raise the valuo of cheap lands more
than the higher priced lands, and
placing values more on an equality
in general.
During tho past year lands have
been acquired in Morrow county from
the government nnd state as follows:
La Grande land office, entered un
der the homestead and timber acts,
including coal land purchased. 15,-
804 acres.
The Dalles land office, entered un
der tho homestead and timber acts,
17,520 acres.
Purchased from the state of Oregon,
0,240 acres.
