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

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

the best treatment for the various

whether commercial fertilizers are
needed for fruit growing In this val

In numbers on the trunk of the tree.
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.

The game was a sparkler In every

only two. Weckler, T. Rlggs, Fau

had 20 putout between them. A
peculiar feature of the game, and
one which gives an Insight Into the
kind of pitching McFadden display
ed, was the fact that the Grants Pass
