Mias Edna Hamrailton visited in
; Portland the fiirst of the week.
Ift
Several hundred farmers from var-
i ¡us sections of the county gathered at
the Southern Pacific station, Wednes­
day morning, to see the Farming Dem­
onstration train and listen to the
talks by the Professors of the Oregon
Agricultural college on various phases
of husbandry.
The talks were practical and full of
information and the exhibits were inter­
esting. The lecture on horticulture
and dairying provrd of special interest
here for the two industries are becom­
ing more and more important eacli
year.
The train arrived at Forest Grove at
11:00, a. m. and left at 1 p. m. The
lecturers and a number connected with
the demonstration train took luncheon
it the Laughin Hotel. C. H. Williams,
well known here as a student at t) e
College, was the representative of the
Portland Oregonian.
The “ Agriculture” car contained
some splendid specimens of grain, ce­
reals and grasses. A collection cf
seeds showed the good and obnoxious
varieties. The alfalfa display proved
interesting. Figures were given rela­
tive to a number of experiments eor-
ducted at the agricultural college. It
was stated by one of the lecturers th; t
one field of alfalfa gave four crops tl e
prst year, yielding more than 38 tot s
to the acre. It may take a goed
while to establish a stand of alfalfa but
persistence will ultimately give the
farmer a splendid forage for his dairy
animals.
The dairy car prosed of interest htre
because of the growth of the dairy in-
dusty riu this section. Besides the
exhibit of the milking machine which
was novel to many, the best suited
stalls for milch cows were also shown.
Prof. C. I. I.fwis gave practical illu
strations in grafting trees, showing tl e
most approved methods and thoie
which will give best results.
The demonstration in the packing
department proved more than com­
monly interesting.
One of the cars was lighted by elec­
tricity by a dynamo having a gaso­
line engine lor motive power. This
provides lights for the entire exhibit.
The lights are needed because the in­
terior of the baggag: cars is dark even
in sunlight. The whole exhibit was
attractively arranged by the members
ot the Oregon Agricultural college and
in the interior of the cars the scheme of
decoration displays the colors of the
college.
It it probable tl at the lectures will
be printed in pamphlet firm for i istri-
bution among the farmers.
Halloween Party.
Halloween was appropriately ob­
served by the various classes at the
University. The college classes ten­
dered the time honored reception to
the Freshman class in the upper room
at Herrick Hall and initiated the en­
tering class into the real mysteries of
college life. The banquet waa ten­
dered by the Sophomores and the
menu was excellent.
Harry P. Humphreys ’09 seted ss
toastmaster and called upon the follow­
ing toasts: “ The Merry Widow,” by
Frances B. Clapp ’08. "The Sopho­
mores,” Jennie Rasmusen,'12; “ Foot­
ball and Halloween,” H. L. McCoy,
’l l . Mr. Sullivan responded to hit
name with some impressions of Pacific
University and the game.
