DISTINGUISHED VISITORS GOHE TO THE " WHEAT CITY "
Agricultural Experts
Investigate
FOR EXPERIMENTAL STATION
Party Drov to Matney Flat
and Examined Ranches In
that Looallty Matt
Local Committee. -
Members of the faculty of the
Slate Agricultural College assis
ted by experts from the Depart
ment of Agriculture were in
Condon Wednesday for the pur
pose of investigating the soil con
ditions of Gilliam county with
the aim of establishing an exper
iment station. The party con
sisted of: President W. J. Kerr,
Professor II. D. Scudder, W. A.
Jenson, all of the Agricultural
College at Cor vallis, William Jar
dine, expert in dry farming, and
A. P. Stover, irrigation expert,
both of the U. S. Department of
Agriculture.
The work of the experts will
not only include a thorough chem
ical analysis of Boila to determine
what crops way be grown most
successfully but will extend to a
study of water sheds and dry
farming conditions.
On their arrival to the Wheat
City, the experts met a number
of prominent citizens who are
interested in the growing of cer
eals and who have kept well in
formed on crop conditions and,
yields for a number of years.
This data was of special interest
to the visitors. I
Drovo to Matney Conference,
The distinguished visitors then
drove to Matney Flat, investiga
ted soil conditions and examined
several farms in that section.
On their return to Condon the
agriculturalists held a conference
at the Oregon hotel with a num
ber of local citizens among
whom, were D. B. Thomaa, man
ager of the Condon branch of the
Kerr, GiffordA Co., Hon. W. J.
Mariner of Blalock, S. C. Dod
son, who owns one of the finest
ranches in the Clem neighbor
hood and W. A. Campbell, the
Ferry Canyon wheat grower.
The experts talked of their
plans at length and ascertained
the opinion of the committee re
garding the project.
In the installation of an exper
imental farm, it is necessary to
obtain a tract of at least 320 acres
but 640 would be preferable so
that the experiments may be
conducted on such a scale as to
give practical results. This farm
which is to be conducted jointly
under state and govern
ment experts must be an aver
age farm it must possess
average soil qualities; a poor
tract of land or an un usually good
piece of land will not meet the
requirements.
To Be Located Where?
One thing at least appears cer
tain, namely that one experi
mental farm will have to do for
several counties. In that event i
it is probable that but one exper
imental station for Wheeler,
Sherman and Gilliam counties
since these counties are identi-;
tified together in various ways,
will be established.
Conditions in the adjoining coun-
ties are similar to those of Gil-
liam. The composition of the
soil, and the yield per acre are '
almost identical or sufficiently w '
that agricultural experiments
conducted in one county would
prove valuable to the others,
"Where wilt the station be
located?" That is the question.
The location of the "farm" may
be decided by the interest
the farmers and ranchers
of the surrounding country will
show in the enterprise. Condon
is the great primary grain ship
ping point in the country; Gil
liam county has progressive far
mers; local wheat sets the stand
ard they tell us. If civic pride
counts for anything it ought to
assist in getting the station in
Gilliam county. There are sev
eral ranches available for the
purpose at reasonable figures.
However this point of securing a
tract of land was not strongly
hinted at, only in a general way.
After having made investi
gations in other counties, the ex
perts will make a report and the
locating of the experimental sta
tions will then be determined.
ON TO MAYV1LLE FAIR I
Farmers Preparing to
Gather Exhibits
For Fair.
Premium List Is Ready for Dla-
' trlbutlon Pamphlets
Neat and Attractive
With less than a month before
the opening of the May.ville
Grange fair, it becomes a matter
of importance that farmers and
.ranchers interested in the fair
should begin at once the selec-
tion of their best products for
exhibition. At every agricul-
tural exposition there is a specie
01 the genus homo that goes
in and out of the exhibit booths,
repeating some such expression:
"Pshaw I've got better stuff than
that at home." Such remarks
should not be heard at an agri
cultural fair for the best prod
ucts of the region should be on
exhibition, not with the mere
idea of capturing a prize but
rather to demonstrate the fecund
ity of the soil and to show the
easy-going farmer what may be
accomplished in the growing of
fine products from a farm, the
soil of which is not better adapt
to the growth of cereals, fruits,
or vegetables than his own. To
many who -attended the May
ville fair a year Ago the exhibits
in certain classes were a revela
tion. The fair this year prom
ises to be more interesting. A
number of families are plar.ning
to camp on the grounds and the
lack of accommodations to enter
tain the visitors which was man
ifest last yeav will be remedied
to a great extent The people of
Mayville did not expect so large
an attendance and when the
visitors came the accommoda
tions were taxed to their full
capacity.
Farmers, "Save your best for
the fair and plan to be there."
Stockmen who contemplate en
tering stock at . the fair should
begin to fit up their horses, mules
and cattle for the show rmg.

Right Rev. Paddock
Holds Services.
DOT IS THEME
Episcopalians Rejoice over hi
Coming- Congregational ,
Pastor tenders Use of
Church to Visitor.
Church unity received new im
petus in Condon when Rev. T. F.
Murphy, .of the Congregational
church, invited Right Rev.
Robert L. Paddock, bishop of
the Episcopal church for the
Eastern Oregon diocese, tQloc-j
cupy his pulpit at both the morn
ing and evening services last
Sunday. The invitation was ac
cepted and two large congrega
tions were present to listen to
two stirring sermons.
For the past ten years the
bishop has been associated with
the work among the slums on
the East Side district of Greater
New York, and his appointment
to the Eastern Oregon diocese,
where the country is compara
tively thinly settled, is an un
usual change. However, since
coming to Oregon, Bishop Pad
dock has. entered his new work
with the same zeal and energy
that characterized him in his
former field, and he is now en
gaged in visiting every section
of his diocese. A strengthening
of the church and a renew
ing of zeal among Episco
palians who are scattered every
where throughout Eastern Ore
gon will naturally follow under
the leadership of the magnetic
personality of this noted church
man. The Episcopalian devotional
service was a rather new custom
in a Congregational church, but
those present took an active part
in it.
Speaking on the subject of
church unity, Bishop Paddock
said " in his evening discourse
that he hoped the time was not
far distant where in cities less
than 1000 people all Protestant
Christians would worship to
gether. "We will build the
most pretentious building in the
town; it will be a building as
nice as the court house. It will
stand out as the center of the
life of the community, and from
it shall radiate influences that
will make for the city's wel
fare." . Bishop Paddock has a rare
faculty of telling a story and
telling it well. Every anecdote
told last Sunday was illustrative
of some moral point, which was
sent home impressively to the
hearers.
Rev. Paddock went to Fossil
Monday to look after the Epis
copal church's interests at that
place.
Hotel Changes Management.
The Palace Hotel is under new
management, the proprietor U.
S. Carnine having leased it for
one year to Claud Miller, Roy
Miller and Ralph Ashpaugh. Mr.
Carnine has been in poor health
for some time and will spend
a few days at Collins in the near
future after, which he will visit
relatives at Castle Rock,' and
Silver Lake, Wash, and Port
land. On his return to Condon,
he expects to go out on a ranch
for some time. The new firm is
made up of well known and in
dustrious young men who will
no doubt enjoy a good patronage.
