This iat part is tho strongest that Hill will get busy It Enterprise. President Carl R. Gray of the Hill lines in Oregon is still preaching the necessity of Btarf ing tho fanner right as lie sug gested in his public talks in this city last month. The establishment of soil-an alysis stations through tho inter ior part of the state is essential and the matter may be brought to the attention of Gov. West with the idea of securing state , aid. This was suggested by Mr. I Clnw tn n ninnuinntlvn nf Ttin Times-Herald whilo in Burns recently. He is quoted in a Portland paper as follews: "When we build our railroads we have our engineers go out and do the planningand construc tion work," said Mr. Gray. "They aro specialists in this branch of railroading. When they have made the road, tho operating department takes it over and runs it; its members also arc specialists. Neither one possibly could do tho work of the other. And so it is with agriculture; at least so it should Too often the farmer goes a new country, as Central 3P PROSPECTS FINE.

Lively has hit tho nail just right respecting a matter that has been called to the atten tion of Tho Times-Herald repeat edly. Wo have had moro than one person who camoiromtno east say that from tho general trend of literature sent out by the Portland Commercial bodies and some of the railroads, apples nro the only product raised in Oregon worth while. The following appears in the Oregenian: - , Declaring that Oregon 'is not getting its share of the immigra tion movement of the country, D. 0. Lively, in a letter address ed to C. C. Chapman, manager of tho promotion committee of the Commercial Club, criticises the methods used to advertise the resources of the Rtale. He says that a rightful Bhare of im migration is not being attracted to Oregon's vacant acres "simply and solely for the reason that Oregon is known almost exclu sively for its superiority in apple production. "There is," he adds, "at pre sent a tendency to direct atten tion to general agriculture, which includes stock raising, but efforts along that line nro chiefly used as a tail to the npplo kite." Mr. Lively quotes from corres pondence ho has had with n prominent traffic official whoso efforts in four years prior to Juue 30, 1910, to attract settlers to Missouri, Arkansas, Ixwisinnn, Texas. Oklahoma, Kansas, Colo rado and New Mexico resulted in locating 870, 732 persons on farm . In carloads of immigrant effects there was 8215; in part carload , 33,003. The greater part of this immigration went to Oklahoma and Texas. It was exclusivo of tho foreign movement from the seaboard, which amounted to 125,000 people in tho period given. "It will bo of importance to tho Northwest," Mr. Lively quotes tho trafilo official as say ing, "to giye out moro informa tion as to what can bo dono bo sides raising apples. I do not know enough about it to give you any special advice, but I do know that the general feeling nil over the country is that you are in tho apple business exclusively al most" Mr. Lively asked what general line of agriculturo attracted these immigrants, and the reply was: "Tho new settler generally goes to a now country in which the same line of farming can bo carried on to which ho has been accustomed. Thus tho immigra tion from tho. Middlo Western States preferable goes to Kansas, Oklahoma, Missouri and Northern Texas to engage in general farm ing for small grain, com, forago plants, cattle and hograising." Mr. Lively appeals to Mr, Chapman in his capacity as Im migration Commissioner for Ore gon to help to "relievo the rail roads of somo of the difficulties under which they now Inbor in securing settlers." "Wo must look to tho Middlo States for a largo Bharo of our agricultural population," ho says, and adds that theso people will not go into tho business of orcharding. Ho concludes by saying that "stock farming is tho most popular, tho most profitable, tho best under stood and tho most widely prac ticed part of American agricul ture.."

A letter under date of May 30 from Clerk K. E Wilson of tho Oregon Agriculture College board of regents to Judge Thomp son announces that a committee consisting of President Woathcr ford, Walter Piorco of Union county, C. L. Ilawloy of Polk county aud Mr. Wilson had been chosen at a recent meeting of tho board to come to Ifarney Valloy and select tho silo for tho experiment farm. They will ar rive here tho latter part of next week nnd hope to be able to make the selection within a couple of days after arriving. The letter stated tho party ex pect to leave The Dalles on June M. ltalsoasked for suggestions as to route and various schedules nnd Judge Thompson has written wo understand, yet our county is obliged to pay for tho laud and equip it. This therefore, calls for the business judgement of tho county court which is capablo of handling it No doubt the board will find several tracts which it will recommend in order to give the court an opportunity to pur chase a tract at best terms. The board will hnve tho activo co-operation of the business men of this city and a host of farm on throughout the Valley and The Times-Herald is confident a selection may be found that will bo reasonably priced and located in a manner that will be satis factory to all.

Just whnt to use lo kill the bugs and worms which annoy the gardner of vegetable and small fruit tnicts at this time of year is told in a new bulletin of the Oregon Agriculture College which will soon be issued from the college press. "Plant lice, or aphis, such as the cucumber aphis, 'cabbage aphis, lettuce aphis, strawberry aphis, rose aphis and others, often become very troublesome in the garden on various plants, and some of them are extremely hard lo control." says H.
