Thomas, manager of the local branch of the Kerr, Gilford Warehouse Co., sots forth some of the conditions that are to be met by the people of Gilliam county to assure the establish ment of the experiment station In this section. The importance of such an institution to the farming interests is recognized by all. A meeting should be called, the proposition discussed and action taken pro or con. The letter of President Kerr is 'self-explanatory and is here s reproduced. My dear Sir: Since visiting EaRtern Oregon, ' I have given the matter of ex perimental work in dry farming, - etc., very careful consideration, and ant of the opinion that a dry farm experiment station should be established either in Sherman or Gilliam County. Should such station be established under satis factory conditions, the U. S. Department of Agriculture would no doubt co-operate with the BAG PIPES WILL SWIRL Annual Meeting of Gilliam and Wheeler Counties Cal ; edonlan. Society to Be Held Here.

FAIR COHTTEE ANNOUNCES URGE U5I OF AWARDS From all sides, unstinted praise is heard for the active and suc cessful management of the fair by the members of the executive committee, the heads of the var ious departments and for the grangers of Gilliam and Wheeler counties, who made the Mayville agricultural show a big success. The number of entries ex ceeded that of a year ago by fify one entries. At last year's fair there were 549 entries, this year the number reached 600.

Many exhibits, previously entered, ; were brought in Friday. The judges were competent and their awards were received with general satisfaction. Dr. Till? II State in the work and in the ex pense of maintenance. If a station Bhould be estab lished in Gilliam county, will suit able land in the necessary quan tity, (say about 100 bo 320 acres) be available for the work without cost to the state? Do you tnink it possible, also, that such per manent improvements as may be required could be furnished by the people of Gilliam county? If the county, or people, bhould fur nish the land, the title could re vert to the donors at the conclu sion of the work. Should the land be leased, however, it would be necessary to have the lease cover a period of at least ten to twenty years, otherwise, the U. S. Department would not be wil ling to do anything. Since it is important that plans be completed at once so that a report can br made to the Legis lature with the request for appro priations, I shall appreciate it if you will will write me at your earliest convenience in regard to the interest the people of Gilliam county may have in such a sta tion and the extent to which they may be depended upon to provide the necessary land, etc Very sincerely yours, W.
