I nave been asked by soma of the newspapers of Southern Oregon to prepare a statement regarding the work and natuie of the Southern Oregon Experiment Station, located t Talent, Oregon. I Lave found a number of farmers In this taction who are not entirely familiar with the objects and purposes of the Sta tion. Therefore, I hare prepared this statement regarding our work. This Is a state Experiment Station maintained by the state of Oregon. It Is not a county Experiment Sta tion as some have supposed. All funds for the support and mainte nance of this station are supplied by the staU) out of the general fund. Jackson county has donated six teen acres of land and the buildings to the state for the Station. This has been the rule of the state In oth er counties as well thtt tha county la which the Station Is desired do nate the land and buildings to the tate for this purpose. The county la not put to any further expense af ter giving the land and buildings. Tha state has paused a bill giving to this station the sum of five thousand dollars annually; and this Is per manentno further legislation be realized from the sale of stocks has gone Into the property, but I do know that tlm officers have done a great deal of development work, including .about 7,000 feet of tunnels, cross- It should also be understood that 'cut and hafta. besides Installing a this station Is a division of the Lx- smelter. perlment Station located at Coi al-! -j aai oae 0f tna oldest stockhold- lls, Oregon, and all. work Is djne In ' able assistance. The superintendent will give fully half of his time to this work In the future. co-operation with them. The two stations will assist each other in ev- lrs in the company and am entirely isatlatw with my investment. I have niuuv( nill nnipi- ca v. it u liui iu c l ery possible way.

The farmer should realize that these stations are both main tained for their special benefit; and on a paying basis.

They will be gladly explained to any farmor who may call at the sta tion grounds, or who may ask for Ing required to continue this appro-theni bv 1'tter prlatlon. While this Is a state sta tion, It Is maintained solely for the fruit and vegetable growprs of Southern Oregon. The buildings In clude a modern dwelling house for the superintendent, and a barn. The house also contains an up-to-date of fice and a spmndld large laboratory. The equipment for the laboratory has been purchased and Is ready to be Installed. This will be the finest equipped scientific laboratory for horticultural Investigation between Corvallls and Berkeley. The work of the station will be confined for the present to problems connected with f :lta and vegot ablos. Every phase of fruit growing will be taken up; and as much work on vegetables will bo done as our time and money will permit. As soon as oar funds are Increased we will take u;i other lines of agriculture, such as general farm crops, poultry, dairy ing, hog raising, etc. dome of the problems planned with fruits are us follows: Soil adaptation for different kinds and varieties of fruits; orchard cultiva tion and manngotnent to determine the best treatment for the various fruit sol's In the valley; to determine whether commercial fertilizers are needed for fruit growing In this val ley and If so the best kinds and proper amounts to apply; orchard The" territory covered by this sta tion includes Josephine, Jackson, Douglas, Coos, Curry and Klamath counties.

They feed on a great many kinds of plants iu Washington, working in the alder groves and thence Into the orchard. Tent caterpillars can be controlled by several methods. During early spring the egg masses may be sought and destroyed. The ordinary sul phur lime spraying of spring destroys a great many of these eggs. When the young hatch tlusy may be burned In their tenta by means of a torch. A common practice is to fasten on the end of a pole a funnel of wire screening and place kerosene rags at the bottom of th funnel. This sort of torch will catch those caterpillars that drop when they feel the heat. A plain torch would permit such cater pillars to escape. The tents may be cut out of the trees when first noticed or the adjacent branches may be sprayed In the spring with an arsen ical. Orchards that are regularly sprayed In the spring with an arsen ical rarely suffer from an attack of tent caterpillars. It Is claimed that the new spray, arsenlte of zinc, Is particularly adapted to tent caterpil lars. It Is a concentrated poison and may be used one pound to 80 or 100 gallons of water for this pest. There are other species of cater pillars that live in tents, as, for In stance, the fall web worm. The same treatment would answer for this In sect. i:TKL I'Oi.VT I NAHLi: TO OUK OX LOC ALS promising varlet'ee that have not Ven grown In this section This will Include a tt of all the valiahle varieties of pears now grown In Europe which have never boen planted In this atate New problems of fruit nd veget able growing that may com up at any time will be taken u;i at once We are prepared to taVe up any phaae of work In the various or chards that any grower may be ln treted In.
