In response to a petition from the
farmers of the eastern portion of Mult­
nomah county, the Free County Library
has placed a library of genera refer­
ence books and books on agriculture
and mechanics at Corbett. The books
on farming include a large range of
subjects, from the general treatises on
agriculture and fruitgrowing to the
handbooks on special methods, such as
rhubarb growing, celery culture, etc.
Among the books on mechanics will be
found much practical information con­
cerning the many things which the
farmer must know how to do, things
the city man hires done, but which the
farmer must do for himself.
The bulletins of the U. 8. Department
of Agriculture, which are adapted to
this section of the country and the
publications of the Oregon Agricultural
College, will be on file at the Corbett
station.
Some good magazines have
also been subscribed for, among them
are the Rural New Yorker, Breeder’s
Gazette, World’s Work and Popular
Mechanics.
The library station is in the Farmers’
Telephone Exchange under the care of
W. E. Evans.
The traveling library formerly under
the care of George Chamberlain has
been transferred to this station.
As the library rules provide that the
same library card may be used at any
county library or deposit station, those
who have obtained their library cards
through some other station may use
them at the Corbett library also.
