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

FAIR COHTTEE ANNOUNCES URGE U5I OF AWARDS
From all sides, unstinted praise

ious departments and for the
grangers of Gilliam and Wheeler
counties, who made the Mayville

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. J. Kerr.
