THE MLUS GAZETTE. TUESDAY, MARCH 5,1901. Are Well Pleased. Regent J. M. Church of the O A C, whose home is in La Grande, Oregon, recently made the following statement to an Oregonian reporter in reference to the Eastern Oregon Experi ment Station, which is to be established in Union county: The climate east of the Cas cades is very different from that of Western Oregon, and experi ments at Corvallis will not do for a basis for farmers in the bunchgrass region. In the Wil lamette Valley the climate is damp for a considerable portion of the year, while that of East ern Oregon is inclined to be dry and cool. Different forms of vegetation thrive in each locality and different methods of cultiva tion have to be used. The state has a 6oc acre tract adjoining Union. Ik is in a high state of cultivation, having been rented to Turner Oliver, a practical farmer. Grain and fruit are raised to perfection, as well as a certain quantity of hay. A large part of the tract is meadow. The state appropriation is only 10.000 for tha next two years, and this sum will have to be put in bondings. The regents will, however, do all they . can in the line ol scientific experiments, particularly in grasses. The bunchgrass of Eastern Oregon has been largely destroyed by overstocking and tramping, and tne mission ot the new station will be to discover what seecies of grasses can be introduced to take the plaGe of the native grass, In this work every county in Eastern Oregon will be inter ested, as stock raising is a great industry In many cf them. With the co-operation of the farmers and stockmen, we hope to be able In a few years to reseed the prairies and hillsides now worn brown and bare so early in the snramer. The people of Union expected a larger appropriation, and some of them fear the small fund set aside lor the station will b& In adequate for practical purooses. but wa hope to demonstrate to them that the Institution will be of great and lasting benefit to their town, as well as to the en tire eastern portion of tha state, We hope to seeure a more liberal allowance as soon as we prove the usefulness Of the station. For several years past there feas besn more or less talk every Legislative session about West ern Oregon getting the bulk of tne state appropriations, and a sentiment has grown up favor able to state division at the sum mit of the Cascades. I think this feeling is now passing away, as most of us desire to stay in Oregen if we can get any kind of a fair deal. The new institu tion will serve to quiet the senti ment of separation and a the same time bsing about a better feelinf between the towns ot La Grande and Union, which, have been business rivals for several years. About Grasses. At the recent farmers' insti tute, held at Pleasant Hill, Lane county, Oregon, there were various interesting discussions. A number of the professors of O A C were in attendance and all leeturcd on subjects of inter est. Among other things Dr. James Withyceme made the fol lowing concise statements re garding grasses that will do well in Oregon: Relative to how often clover should be planted, he said every two years. Said it does not seem to be so long lived as here tofore. As to cow peas, he said they Were not good here, and would recommend Canadian field peas as better. Should be eareful with veteb. It should be fol lowed with spring wheat and not with fall wheat. As to the mammoth and little red clover, he said he did net like the mammoth; but preferred the common red. Clover p-oesi dowr deeply and brings up plant food and thus makes it available. Timothy is an ideal hay for horses. Rye grass makes a good bay and also pasture. Said tliev were going to test alfalfa. Vel vet grai-s is not good. Orchard grass is one of the be it we ha.-c . Can pasture it and ' clover so as keep tuem back. Red top hard to start, but good when started. To raise seed fiom vetch the rst crop should be cut for soil- ng and the second crou nastured back and then let it mature to be cat for seed. To kill ouaek grass it should be suiumerfal- owed. harrowed and the rot raked tip and burned. A Rat Tale. Every country has its curse and some countries have many. The Albany Democrat relates the lollowiug "rat storv." as told bv a Bentoa county man of more than average intelligence and veracity: Mr. A. Vanderoool. of Wells Station, of Benton county, who was in the city recently, tells a good rat storv. It seems that whole herds of rats have been swooping flown through the val ley, navmg regular trails, and have taken Wells almost com pletely. In a few days in Mr. Vanderpool's barn 107 of the varmints were killed bv clubs aud it is thought there are sev eral Hundred Jett. Everybody else is troubled in the same way. ihev will eat anything. A brick was eaten nearly out of a wall. Several of them ate into a cider keg and let all the cider out. Another band ate over a half bushel of onions, e-enerallv not touched by rats, and bacon has disappeared in great quanti ties. Growing Fast. Prof. P. L. Kent, ot O A f! i authority for the statement that, thn cheeee industry in Oregon is grow ing very rapidly, as last year there were twenty lactones established. About one-half of the cheese man ufactured in the state is made in Tillamook couuty. T ho past year the cheese manufactories have yielded a better profit than the butter factories. The larger the quantities handled the less the cost per pound. One factory handled one-fourth of a million- pounds per year. Cheese can be held a long time. Two pounds of cheese can be taken out of milk to one of but ter. Seattle and Alaska trade takes a large percentage of our but ter and cheese. There is no danger of over production. California dealers say that Oregon cheese is as good as any produced. The indus try is bound to grow. Real Estate Transfers. Nellie McGee to T D London. a small tract of land near Wren; S135. E.

Before nurchasinc a piano or organ there are a few questions it i9 well to consider. First: Is the instrument mada louse or simply to sell? Second: Is the the lone, action and finish first class? Third: Is the price reasonable? Cheap Instruments are expensive at any price. Why? Because they never giv, 'satis faction, being constructed of the cheap est material hastily thrown together. To secure the value of your money there is one certain way. Buy an instrument which lias not only an established repu tation for years, but which has kept up with every improvement ot modern times. If yon then would like Eucb an instrument with a lone, action anil na ish unsurpassed, I have them, and can lurbish you any at tne lowest price. Call around. Mobdaukt Goodnough. Something New.
