GREETED THE FARMERS.
Mayor Woodcock's Address of Welcome on
Behalf of the Citizens of Corvallis. '
I have been reqneslcd to express a few
words of welcome on the part of the Citi
zens' League of Benton county and the
City of Corvallis in token of our sincere
appreciation of tho interest represented
in your Visit to the State Agricultural
College.
At different periods during the history
of this school it has been regarded as
local 1y those who-have not thought
thoroughly along the important lines
'S" by the scientific and experimental
racnnrnli m oil A in (Via ci.bnnl Ttr..
questions, however, are becoming better
understood. It is evident from the large
number of intelligent, representative,
progressive farmers aud business men
from different parts of this state, that
more than a local iaterest ia being felt in
the importance of the State Agricotlural
College at this time. It is natural and
correct for as to regard those who have
gone before as having wisely laid the
proper foundation stones npon which is
being established this the best and most
progressive government in the world to
day. Upon this point it is significant
and convincing that the congress of. the
United States builded well when they set
apart to each of the sevaral states large
tracts of public lands to be sold and the
proceeds thereof retained as an irreduci
ble fund the interest accumulating
thereon to be used in maintaining state
agricultural colleges in the v different
states where instruction in agriculture
and the mechanic arts should be the im
portant and leading instructions; follow
ed by subsequent legislation establishing
experiment stations in connection with
these colleges, and large appropriations
provided by congress to pay the expenses
thereof. To say that national legislators
of that day were mistaken in these lines
is to accuse them of being incompetent
and enacting unwise legislition. But
such was not the case. While practical
farming performed in an intelligent way
without the aid of scientific research is
very substantial and necessary, yet
scientific principles, we are compelled to
admit, are- founded upon truth. It
seems, therefore, that this same scientific
truth and investigation along those lines
coupled with the practical and experi
mental is becoming as essential when
applied to "farming as it is to the other
pursuits in life."
It is evident that those who were in
strumental long ago in providing the
means from the general government by
which these agricultural colleges and ex
perimental' stations "shall he maintained
were at that time able to look into the
distant future and forsee the conditions
as transpiring at this time. At that
time those who had not made special
studyof those subjects regarded the pro
ceedings along those lines wijh apparent
indifference, because the lands all over
our country were comparatively new.pro-
ducing Jarge and never failing crops.
Conditions have changed. By constant
cropping.year after year for a generaiion
the soil became depleted. . It required
different treatment. The const ant yearly
cropping under' the same continuous
methods exhausts the soil of Important
elements which it is necessary to restore.
The agricultural college and station sup
plies this important information.. By
carefal experiments and analysis we are
able to learn through these schools what
elements have been taken from the soil
by old methods and what treatment is
necessary to restcre the soil to its normal
condition. " 7 , '.
The experience and observations of
the results of the agricultural industries
in our state is abundant prrof of these
changing conditions, r , - '
For many years after the early settle
ment of this country it was only neces
sary to plow and sow by indifferent
methods in order to reap an abundant
and profitable harvest, but by constantly
withdrawing the natural elements of the
soil it was found difficult and after an
other short time impossible to obtain the
same flattering results, different meth
ods of cultivation in due time were intro
duced with apparent success. But this
was only temporary, for with the best
methods as generally practiced for the
last ten years it is evident that the yield
of grain and other products have be
come much less and mere difficult and
the soil less productive for other pur
poses. With these conditions confront
ing us we turn to the agricultural college
and experiment station to learu the
cause and suggest the remedy, which
must come to us through scientific inves
tigation. These subjects, the best meth
ods in producing and protecting the fruit
and other, products of the soil as well as
the best kinds, .breeds and grades of
stock adapted to our industrial condi
tions, the best and most economic feeds
and the best methods of feeding them
are very important questions confronting
us at this time, because all of the indus
tries common to man . are effected by the
rise and' fall of agricultural pursuits.
They are the underlying support for all
business. Hence it is that we constantly
nnd lawyer?, doctors, ministers, mer
chants, laborers, : tradesmen, and all
classes and' conditions of our people
earnestly discussing the -varying condi
tions effecting the agricultural industries
of the country. 'It is for these reasons,
well understood tp seriously effect every
person no matter what may be their call
ing or condition et Hie, that we con
stantly find them in all pursuits of life
discussing earnestly in the effort to learn
everything available upon these import
ant subjects because we are alike inter
ested in the results and valuable informa
tion 'Obtained Ik rough the scientific re
search made by these-educational insti
tutions established by the general govern
ment purely ,'upoa agricultural aud in
dustrial lines,.
I realize that roti have come here not
to be wearied by any remarks of mine.
but to investigate and learn the results
of theecientifie research and questions
which will be ably -handled by gentle
men specially skilled therein. In behalf
of the people of Benton county and City
of Corvallis I take pleasure in extend
ing to you a most hearty welcome and
trust that you will find your stay among
us both profitable and pleasant.

Told the Farmers.
During the course of the re
cent farmers' meeting held at O
A C, Dr. James Withyeobe,- of
that institution, made the follow
ing statements: ;
The trouble with your land is
that it cannot retain water. v We
find that the fields have suffered
and that is because of -the physi
cal condition of the land being
wrong. The recent failure of the
wheat crop was not due to pests;
1 should ,. be attributed to the
fault of the soil. In a sense.
there is no new land any more in
the valley. " Your pasture lands
are not new. Thev have been
run over by stock, arid the soil
has consequently been drawn
upon until the. plant" food has
been exhausted. It must be re
tained. Experiments "on this
farm have, demonstrated beyond
dispute fhat the only way to re
tain the plant food is - by rotation
of crops. If this is done there is
no reason whv 40 bushels of
wheat to the acre should not be
a common thing.
Here is a clover field. Yeu
have a fair idea of the yield.
This is how we work it: Sow
clover on fall wheat in February,
It makes late pasture. .: Next
year it produces from 3 to 4 tons
of hay per acre. The field is
kept in clover another year, or
the sod is broken upland sown to
oats or father grain, or planted to
some . cultivated crop, such, as
corn Or potatoes. After that the
field is again put in wheat, thus
making a 4-year rotation. ' In
sowing clover it is, highly desira
ble to apply , about" 50 Or 75
pounds of land plaster to the
acre for the yield will often in
crease so ner cent thereby. -.
The Tune rain often interferes
with" the proper curinsr of clover
nay, but if the clover field is pas
tured with light stock', such , as
sheep or calves, in early spring
the maturing of the crop will be
sufficiently delayed to overcome
this difficulty. .
Revenue Tax Repealed.
Changes recently made in inter
nal revenue taxes became effective
July 1st. The items repealed which
most directly touch the public are
the 2-cent tax on every bank check,
the 1 cent levied on express-receipts
and the 1 cent affixed to telegraph
ic messages. There are several
other important . taxes . repealed,
however, which will affect import
ant interests,' and in many cases
will reach the public. Among these
are the stamps affixed to proprieta
ry medicines, perfumery and other
drugs, which have given so much
annoyance to the thousands of
druggists throughout the country.
The 10-cent tax on bills of lading
terminated on June SO, and the
high tax on charter parties suffered
the same fate. There are important
modifications of the rates on beer
and cigars, but these taxes are far
from being abolished.
Provision is made for the redemp
tion of unused stamps, and checks

with a bull -last, week wbieh

was standing with its head at Mr.
Connor's feet. It began in a play
ful manner to push him against the

crowded him so closely that he
tamed and seized the top board
just as the bull caught him amid
ships and gently assisted him over.
Robert Glass and his sister, Miss
Lilly Glass, accompanied by their
brother Frank, arrived home, Sat

ter crossed the mountains to make
him a visit Frank la looking well
and reports that he likes that coun
try very much, and will make his
home there. He starts back next
week. His brother and sister are
not so enthusiastic over the section
that Frank has chosen for his home
and declare that the Willamette
valley is good enough for them.
Writing to the Gazette from
Hope, Indiana, Sherman Seward
expresses a desire to know more of
the Willamette valley, "its crops,
weather, fruit, etc." He says: "Here
we are putting up our clover hay.
By July 1st we will be cutting our
wheat, and ia a week's time all of
the grain in the country will be in
the shock. This year it is badly
injured by the Hessian fly. Last
year we did not get our seed back.

tising committee of the Citizens'
League, and he will be sent a copy Of

it is completed. .
