it mav be that tliev do not know
how it originated. The old writers
say that it came from Jupiter, the
supreme deity of the Eomans, and
this is the way of it : Rhea, Jupiter's
mother, soon after he was born gave
him to the daughters of Melisseus,
king of Crete, as his nurses. They
fed him with milk from the goat
Amalthea, an animal that was some
times hadly treated hy the infant
god. One day, it is said, in. a fit of
temper he broke off one of Amal
thea's horns and gave it to his
nurses, endowing it with the power
of becoming filled with whatever
ita possessor might wish. That horn
became the cornucopia. Chicago

WILL EXPERIMENT
On College Farm Irrigation
To be Tried.
A. P. Stover, irrigation engin
eer appointed by the United States
agricultural department to con
duct a series of irrigation experi
ments in the Willamette Valley,
as been in Corvallis the past
week, and out on college farm the
work of installing an irrigation
plant is going on. -
The site selected is on the wes
tern part of the farm, along the
C. & E. railroad, where a small
hop yard has heretofore been op
erated. The work is co-operative
with the national department of
agriculture, and is under the per
sonal supervision o. Mr. Stover.
The water for irrigating purposes
will be pumped from Oak Creek
by means ot a gasoline pump
which is to be ready for use in a
few davs.
Six acres of land is to be devo
ted to the experiment and a series;
of crops will be grown consisting
of hops, potatoes, corn, alfalfa,
clover and vetch. A part ot each
ot these, will be cirefully irrigated
and a part wtll be left to grow
with only the help that nature
gives, and a comparison ot toe
two crops, irrigated and unirriga- j
ted, will then be made. The ex
periments will cover a period of
years and much valuable data
will, it-is expected, be thus ob
tained, relative to the value of
irrigation in the Willamette Val
ley, the amount of water necessa
ry, the expense per acre, the ef
fect on the soil, and much other
information of a useful nature.
This year, owing to the late
ness of the season when the plant
is installed, the experiment can
only be tried on potatoes, corn
and alfalfa, two acres of corn and
a half acre each of pota.oes and
alfalfa.
The results of the experiments
will be watched with deep inter
est by all farmers . and residents
generally throughout the state, as
. . . 1 . i e
great tnings may ue in, store oi
the Valley under proper irriga
tion, and the O. A. C. experi
ment station will, by this work,
be able, in a few seasons, to give
out valuable data for the benefit
of the public.
Mr. Stover is to conduct ex
periments in Linn county, also,
as related in Wednesday's Albany
Herald, .which says: "Mr. Stover
has selected a site a mile south of
this. city 4or his experiments, after
haying. made temporary .arrange
ments to. do the work at Eugene.
Stover was in Eugene last fall
and selected a site for. the experi
ments on the Henderson farm
near the Willamette river, four
miles below Eugene, and agreed
to do the work there. He returned
this spring prepared to begin, but
the farmers living in the vicinity
wjuld not. co-operate with him
and as . the citizens in general
seemed to lack interest he has
come to Albany.
"Mr., Stover has selected a tract
of 130 acres, south of this point,
where the Lebanon railroad bran
ches off from the main line and
bordering on the Santiam power
canal, from which the water for
irrigation will be taken.
"The experiments will begin
this week on a tract of alfalfa and
ckver and as soon as a patch of
vetch on the place is cut the wa
ter will be turned onto it to see if
a second crop can be obtained.
While the land selected for the
experiment is ot so rich as that
at first selected near Eugene, the
water is handier and the cost of
the work will not be so great."
Was Once a Student.
Monday evening's Telegram
contains a dispatch from Vale,
Oregon, telling of the shooting of
R. L. Hess at Sand Point, Idaho,
while attempting to resist arrest
Hess, it is staled, has been identi
fied with a band of horse thieves
and has tor two years been want
ed by the police for stealing valu-
able horses in the vicinity of Vale
in July 1935. The Telegram
dispatch states that Hess was
shot through the hip and lung,
and adds: "Bob Hess is well
known in Malheur county. He
was at one time a stndent at the
OAC and is a strikingly hand
some man. His people are pio
neer hotel keepers of Vale." ?
In regard to the attendance of
Hess at the Corvallis college, it
is learned from OAC headquar
ters that Hess was of good family
in Eastern Oregon and was ad
mitted to the school about seven
years ago. Within a few weeks,
however, it was learned that he
was gambling and drinking, and
that his condu-t was far from be-
ing that of a gentleman, which
cai.sed him to be immediately ex
pelled from the institution.
Nothing furtner had been
heard of him in Corvallis until
the dispatch in the Telegram told
of his last, and probably fatal,
escapade.
Splendid Program.
The programs are out for the
14th annual assembly of the Wil
lamette Valley Chavtauqua As
sociation which is to be held at
Gladstone Park, , near Oregon
City, uly 9 to 21, inclusive.
There has been general re-organization,
and tbe program this
year is equal if not superior, to
any issued in previous years.
The association hereafter will be
known as the "Willamette Val
ley Chautauqua Assembly," the
capital stock of which is $5,000
divided into 200 shares at $25
each.
Many splendid features appear,
on this year's program, and the
best lecturers to be obtained will
be present. Among those on the
list in their various lines, are:
TJ. S. Senator Elmer J. Barkett,
Dr. Stanley R. Krebs, Dr. John
Roach Straton, Hon. Frank S.
Regan, Dr. Frank G. Smith,
Rev. James Hoffman Batten, Dr.
R. A. Hermitage, the musical
director, Hou. W. C. Hawley,
Prof. W. Eugene .Knox, Rev.
Ira Landrith, Prof. Albert Gril
ley, physical director ot be Y.
M. C. A.; Miss Jennie F. W.
Tohnson, the Chicago contralto,
Miss Lillian Tingle, demonstra
tor in domestic science; Dr. J. B.
Hoadley. and others.
The Chautauqua motto, "Ed
ucation, Inspiration, Recreation"
tells the story of the annual meet
ings, and no doubt this year will
witness a record-breaking crowd
at Gladstone Park.
Approves Corvallis Plan..
One of the delegates to the Or
egon development league in
Portland last week told how Cor
vallis Fpent but $300 advertising
in Eastern agricultural papers of
large? circulation and received
over 6,000 replies, with the result
that several huudred new people
located in Benton county. This
is a plan of advertising that would
be a success for Eugene or any
other Oregon town, because it
reaches the people we are afur.
Thrifty farmers who will buy
small-sized places and farm them
thoroughly are wanted, and when
we get them the 01 her classes of
population will come as needed
Advertising in high class maga
zines is expensive, and reaches
for the most part people who are
not looking for new locations, but
buy magazines for entertainment
and recreation. The Corvallis
experiment was a practical test of
the efficacy of printer's ink, used
with good judgment. Editorial,
Eugene Register.
Corvallis draymen had a strenu
ous time of it Tuesday night. The
(i team boat OregoDa now makes but
two trips per week to Corvallis, and
on arrival Tuesday night she brought
in the new machinery for the Fir

new saw mill at Toledo. This had
to be transferred to the C. & E.
railroad and the dray boys labored
until tbe darkest shades of night
had fallen and the midnight hour
was nst far off.
