Portland, Or. Aug 23 —Agricul
tural experts of the country, who
have been in session in Portland
during the past week, closed their
most successful annual gathering
Saturday with an attendance even
larger than that at a recent conven
tion in Washington, D. C. The
session was one that means much
to the Pacific Northwest for it was
attended by men who are keen
students of agricultural possibilities
and what they saw here impressed
them. They were afforded an op
portunity to inspect the various
farming districts of the state by
means of special trains run by the
Portland Commercial Club to Wil
lamelte Valley points .nd Hood
River.
On thece trips they were gue.ts of
the Commercial Club and were es
corted by a speci 1 committee of
prominent Oregon people who gave
all the information desired on the
different districts inspected. The
results of the convention will be
far reaching, it is believed by those
who are familiar with the work of
the organizations. President Kerr
of the Oregon Agricultural College
was cho- en the head of the As
sociation of American Agricultural
Colleges and Experiment Stations
for the coming year. President
Kerr seemed the convention for
Portland whi'e in attendance at
last year’s session.
