EXPERIMENT STATION AT HERMISTON SOON Lack of Support From Federal and State Funds Caused by Congress Disagreement is Held Responsible. The government experiment station, located at Hermlston for over 10 years, is to be discontinued June 30, because of lack of funds, according to orders from the federal govern ment. The support for the station is from federal and state funds, the federal funds being derived from the western Irrigation and experiment station funds. These funds because of a dis agreement among members of a con ference committee In congress as to the size of the appropriation, have de creased to such an extent that three stations must be closed, and the Her miston station Is one. Oregon has en tered a plea for more funds but Sen ator McXary says there Is little hope that the request will be granted. The station, which is under the management of Harold K. Dean, has done much to aid the farmers of the county. Experiments are carried on and new methods used. Umatilla county farmers are expressing great regret that the station is to be discon tinned.
