Arrangement! Iiave been perfected
by Dr. James Wliithycombe, director
nf the State Agricultural Colligo, for
holding five farmers iiiHt itutia In
Southern Oregon duriug Heptember.
The places selected are Omuls Paul,
Kerb; and Pro volt in Josephine
count? and Jncknouvilie and Kiigle
Point In Jaekooo comity.
The firbt Matitnte will be held at
Gran la Pats on Halnrduy, Beptember

Toeailay will be spent by the institute
workers In exbmluiiig the soils, iimpa
and the methods of cultivation on
such furnis as will bo passed iu the
drive fr.ini Eagle Point to Jackson
vllle, by the way of Medfi rd where
dinner will be taken. At Jackson
ville an evening session will be hehl
Tuesdav and forenoon and afternnm
sessions Weduesday, Thursday morn
ing the 4 o'clock tialn will be taken
at Medford for Gra' ts Pans and the
party will drive to Provolt, where
forenoon and evening sessions will bo

methods that unit lie seen by the way.
Saturday, September IA, the Kerby
institute of forenoon, afternoon and
e veiling sessions will bo held.
The itinerary has been so arrnuged
that It will allow a full day In Jack
son county to the college professors
and the other specialists ou agricul
tural ititeiestH, to carefully examine
the character nf the various soils the
kinds and conditions of crops grown
and the methods that are employed
by the farmers Iu cairylng on their
farm Alterations A full day will
also bu had iu Josephine county to
note the soil, crops and method that
govern the agricultural cauihllitles
of this county, 'this feature of the
trip to Southern Oregon wlil be ol
much value to the Agricultural
Oollope professors in euiibliug them
to more fully study the characteristics
of the soils, and the crop produced
also, the methods that are employed
by the, farmers Iu their farming
operations. With this knowledge
they will be better able to tell the
farmers of Southern Oregon wherein
they can Improve their met hods of
farming by selecting crops that are
best adapted to certain soils mid by
lopting a system of cultivation that
will he suited to this s 'inl and
region. Many of the farmers of
Itogue liiver Valley are from the
Eastern and Middle states where
totally ilitTeicnt cllniale. soil and
crops obtain, yet so many of these
new settlers attempt to farm nn lin y
aid III the States. In planting fruit
trees they too often select the
varieties that gre v and sold well in
Illinois or Mixuiuri, not iuve-tmating
Whether the variety was productive

filling iu the trenches as he cultivated
the potatoes until he brought the laud
to a level. This would put the
potato roots so deep that the sun and
wind would not dry them out aud a
good crop woo Id have been had. All
over Rogue River Valley can tie seen
instances where trainers are trying to
raise crops by the methods of cultiva
tion they employed iu the wet sec
tions from which they came, not
realizing that this simi-arid region
requires entirely different methods to
successfully grow crops. The O. R.
& N. Railroad Company realize this
handicap to new settlers aud at many
places along its lines in Eastern Ore
gon the Company has experimental
farms where crops are grown on laud
that under the old methods was ton
dry to produce a crop. The new
settlers are being shown how to grow
crops Iu that semi-arid region without
irrigation on laud that 10 years ago was
considered worthless but is now pro
ducing good crops.
Colonel R. C. Judson is in charge
of them experimental farms for the
O. R. & N. Co. and ho is recognized
as one of the leading experts of tne
West on semi-arid laud fanning Ii
is expected to have Colonel Judson
present at the iutstitntn in this and
Jackson county to tell of the methods
that have proven so successful to the
Eastern Oregon farmers in growing
crops ou their dry land. It Is also
expected to havo Mr. A. P. Stover,
of the United States bureau ol iriiga
tlon to address the institutes. Mr.
Stover Is the government expert on
dry land farming and he is now iu
Oregon making a study of the soils,
rainfall aud crops iu the semi-arid
regions with a view of determining
the best methods lor each section that
may be employed by the farmers in
increasing the productiveness of their
laud. His address will be of special
value to the farmers of Rogue River
Valley, who are unable tn secure
water readily for irrigating their
lauds.
The Arglcultural College will be
represented by four of Its staff. I)r,
.las. Wilhycoinbe is recognized ai
one of the belt posted men ou the
Pacific Coast on stock and grasses
Prof. F. h. Kent, of th department
of dairying. Prof. A. I,. Knisely,

Department of Agriculture as one of
the best posted men ill that science III
the Uiilted States. Prof. K. It. Lake,
botanist nnd horticulturist, anil who
is thoroughly posted on all that per
tains to growing trees. The tuple
that will be handled by these profes
sors will be of special Int rest to the
farmers of this sictiou, In enabling
them to become belter pisled
dairying, fruitralsing, fighting pests
and In learning of new nnd improved
methods of cultivation and of the
valu' of diversified farming and of
the rotatiou of crops. To success
fully tight the pests has come to be a
virions pioblem to ,'nrmcrs nf
Sou I hern Oregon. The fruit trees
have almost all the posts known to the
llnitid States, and new ones are
appearing with !' ton great fre-
ueucy. A pst that kills straw-
berrey plants has api cured in Jackson
county, and the melon growers of
that comity have to contend iiguiiisl
the cut worm, while iu this enunly
the melon wilt, a new anil deadly di
Hesse from the Southern states,
threatens to mil watermelon growing
about ;irunls Pass. The nu ou raisers
of Evans creek are having their onion
crop cut short by the lavages of a
pest. The cabbngo and In ans now
have pests that may cause big l.isi.
A disease has appeared among the

HOP PICKING TO
BEGIN NEXT WEEK
A Jolly Time for th Army
Pickers-Crop Will Be 20
Per Cent Short.
linp picking iu the yards of South
ern Oregon will begin the middle cf
next week. The work will last about
two weeks, though all yards will not
be picked before the close of three
weeks. Hop picking has become an
outing to uiauy of the residents
the towns of this section, as well as
an opportunity to earu a goodly sum
of money at light, healthful work.
The dry weather aud the warm,
pleasant nights making camping very
deightful and life iu a hop camp
more ol a picnic than many suppose
At many of the yards dunces, extern
pme concerts and other amusements
make the evening gar with mim
ment. The yards will this year em
ploy some 121X1 pickers, a large pro.
portion of whom will be women and
childr. ii.
This small army ol pickers will
come mostly from the towns of Rogue
River alley, though many country
people take advantage of tho oppor
tunily to earu some extra money
The former method of paying lor
picking by the box has been diheardi
iu Southern Oregon and the p ekurs
will be paid by the pound, the rate
for this season being a dollar a 100
pounds. At this price a fast picker
can earn from fl.i'iO to fa. 00 a day,
though some pickers go below tl.M)
a day and a few earu more than 2.(I0
a day.
The hop yield will be short iu many
of the yards of Rogue River Valley
some having a shorlaue of fully 40
per cent. A lew yards will have
big crop, but the entire yield of
Southern Oregon will bu fully 80 per
cent below an average Some of the
new yards that were thoroughly cul
tivated and irrigat d will yield from
'J00 to fiOO pnu nils per ai re. l!ut most
of the new yards will not beat Imps
enough to pay for picking. The old
yards that were Irrigated and given
good care will most of them bear
well. So lagnly has irrigation iu
creased t'.e yield of hops that within
the next year or two every yard in
.Southern Oregon will he put under
Irrigation. Of the yards now under
irrigation but few get water by
ditches aud gravity systems, the
greater number of growers having
gasnliue pumping plants to raise
water iriuii Itngun river or Applcgatu
along which streams nil the yards are
Incnliil. While this is all expensive
wayuf itrigatiug yet the greater yield
of hops more than n pays the cost.
While there were nearly 800 acres
of hops planted last spring yet there is
not likely to be many new yard
planted next spi lug, for hup growers
are somewhat discouraged over Hi
downwind lemlemy of the market,
which has been ellecled by the dealers
combine. An effort was made to form
a pnul of tint I'lii'illo States hop
growers hut it failed us a result nf
the distrust iliat farmers have of ea h
other, ami also through the efforts of
the dealers in discouraging the uu
lertaklng. A i. effort was made by
some of the progressive hop men of
this section to fin in a Southern Oie
gnu Uiiinri but it failed, as did the
"linns iu must of tlni hop districts ol
the Const. The growers about Wood
hum have inure of the niouri sslve

will hi established to correspond with

assuciatiun will look carefullv after
