WKDNKSDAY, MARCH 33, toto
TUB D. I. I RUCBIVURSMIP.
The granting of n petition for re
ccivcr for the D I. & P. Co. is n
matter of the utmost importance to
the Deschutes country. That con
cetn was the largest Carey-act op
erator in the state. Its methods
have been much criticized from the
beginning, the fundamental evil be
ing that it started without capita),
upon the idea that the profits would
furnish all the moncv necessary
in other words that the promoters
would get rich without any invest
rucnt of real money of their own
Upon thii first error n lot of others
have been grafted, largely through
the complacency (to use a mild
term) of the slate land board.
The company's affairs having
pretty uniformly gone from bad to
worse, some adjustment like that
now in process was inevitable
With the water wrung out of its
capitalization and an honest and in
telligent supervision by the state
land board in the interest of settlers,
this enterprise would soon be
straightened out and the country
vastly benefited. The difficultio
that have beset this project have
been entirely financial and mana
gerial. The field has been demon
strated to be a rich one and capable
of even ercater development than
was at first expected.

Now is the time to clean up as
well as to subscribe. Nothing clc
so favorably impresses the casual
visitor as a tidy town. And it

We have before us the subscrip

we are confident that environment

WHAT DOES IT MliAftf
The Silver Lake Leader prints
th&lollowing noncommital and pe
culiar paragraph:
The Bern! Bulletin has uVcn a hot

themselves "fernlnst" Senator Bourne'

SEEDS SHOULD E TESTED.
James J. Hill has announced
himself as favoring cold storage
conservation. So also did the late
E H. Harriman, especially as re-
matter with The Bulletin? Its columns
for the past few months hare been filled
with railroad stories taken largely from
the "jaundiced daily." "Conmtencr
thou art a jewel," is an old saying that is
often fitting to one's own self.
A splendid school, such as ours,
an efficient library and dare we
say it? a good newspaper, makes
a trio ot standing attractions tor a
town that can scarcely be equalled
in the eyes of the best class ol
homemakers
Now, here is what The Bulletin
did say on this subject:
What a smell the "fernlnst" papers
are making over Senator Bourne's
bill to relieve entrrmen on 330-acrc
homesteads from the requirement that
tfaer reside upon the land. The Port
land Chamber of Commerce and other
bodies starlet! the ball rolling, and there , , ', , ,

The Oregon AgrictiHttrnl Exper
iment Station scuds out n circular
upon the subject of seed-testing
from which the following is taken;
Many thousands ot dollars are lost an
nually by totli the farmers and the
c!smeii of the Xorthct and Pacific
Coast states thrush the purchase and
uc of interior t eeil. This loss is four
fold. 1'irst, through the purchase ol
seed of low vitality, or of seed contain
ing IiIkIi percentages of worthless or
harmful impurities. Second, through
the resultant thin stand and poor crop
obtained from the same amount of labor
expended as for a good crop. Third,
through the seeding of the land to
worthless plants or to noxious weeds,
fourth, through the loss of business to
seedsmen. ,
This widespread and 'heavy annual
loss has been due, partially nt leait, to
the fact that farmers and seedsmen alike
lute not had the means of easily slid
accurately determining the germination
and purity of the seeds purchased and
used.
The Seed Laboratory of the Bureau of
Plant Industry, United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, in co-operation
with the Oregon Agricultural College,
has opened a branch seed-testing labor
atory at Corvaltit, Oregon. This labor
atory is solely for the use of the resi
dents of the Pacific Coast and adjoining
Jtates fr letting seeds free of charge.
The work of this laboratory will include
(l) The identification of seeds of any
kind. (Jl The examination of samples
for the presence of adulterants and lod-
der. (O The letting of seeds for purity
(4) Testing for germination. '
I, All sample should be drawn so as '
to represent accurately the bulk seed I
from which they are taken. 1
1. The site ol sample should be a 1
tahlespoonful for small seeds, such as
clovers and graues, and five tablespoon-'
fuls of the larger seeds, such as the
grains. 1
$. All samples should be marked with i
name and address of sender. I
4 A letter should accompany sample
stating whether the seed is to be tested
for purity, for germination, or for both,
anil the source of the seed.
5. All samples and letters should be
add rested to the Seed-Testing Labora
tory, Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
valfis, Oregon.
All agricultural seeds should be tested
before they are purchased, or in any
case, belore they arc used not only
small seeds but grains of doubtful qual
ity, as well. Farmers and seedsmen
both, are urued to make the fullest use
of this laboratory, and raise the standard
of the seed used upon the farm.
