IE OF TRI-COUNTY

111 HELD AT ARLlNGTOf
Geo. B. Dukek, Well Known Farmer o
Mayville, Elected President of Tri
County Development League.
Arlington, "Tho Gate City."
was invaded on Tuesday by 800
delegates from Gilliam, Morrow
and Sherman counties and 35
members of the Portland Com
mercial Club. The purpose of
this invasion was to organize a
Tri-county Development League
and to evolve plans for the bet
terment of agricultural condi
tions in the three counties.
Practically nothing was done at
the afternoon si-union except to
'r discuss the object of the meet
insr and elect a few committees,
for a lew minutes It teemed
that the several delegations
might clash when it came to
selecting the place to hold the
Tri-county Fair but the folly of
contesting this question soon be
came apparent and throughout
all three sessions the utmost
harmony prevailed. The condi
tiona existing in the three coun
ties were widely discussed by
members of the delegations and
it was apparent that Gilliam
County is 'in better condition
than either of the other two.
The entire situation speedily re
solved itself into one question
how to become successful, agri
culturally, in a section where the
precipitation is light. In an
swering this question there was
a diversity of opinions, some
contending that only by irriga
tion could it be solved, others
were in favor ot trying to secure
artesian water but by far the
majority declared that a scienti
fic system of crop rotations
and diversified farming will
solve the problem with the
moisture which this section re
ceives yearly. Diversified farm
ing seemj to be the solution
which pleases most of the farm-
ers. During the past the desire
' ' KK of the farmers has been to raise
a good crop of wheat but of late
a few have taken up stockrais
ing, dairying, alfalfa and crop
rotations and these are now
the successful farmers of this
section of the state. It was
shown at the meeting that the
farmer who has been raising
hogs is the farmer who has been
paying off the mortgage. J. N.
Teal, who initiated the move
ment, was unable to be present,
being in Washington, but he
was with the meeting in spirit
as was shown by a telegram
which was read. Committees
on permanent organization were
selected as follows:

The demonstration train ar
rived in this citv at an early
hour on Tuesday morning. The
farmers for miles around were
also on hand in the early morn
ing. When the lectures started
at eight o'clock there were pre
sent between two and three hun
dred and the later arrivals swell
ed the total attendance to almost
four hundred. Several lectures
were under way at the same
time and to say that the interest
was great is putting it mildly for
the lectures were intently listen
ed to and the knowledge given
out was received with apparent
appreciation. After the lectures
those present were requested to
ask questions which they did,
questions of almost everything
in agricultural lines which might
apply to this section. In regard
to the meeting the Oregonian
has the following to say:
No doubt the people of this
entire section are up against a
hard proposition. For three
years their hopes of a wheat crop
have been blasted. For those
three years the precipitation has
and under such conditions a crop
failure is inevitable. "
But these Gilliam County
farmers are men of stout hearts,
brave minds and indomitable
courage. They never lie down;
they are always up and doing
and just now the crops for next
year are sky high, for
there has been a Jot of face
mcisture and the wheat looks ex
ceedingly well They wanf-Dr.
Withycombe and his associates
to point the way for them to do
better farming, to'diversify their
crops, to give them some hopes
of escape or tide over . the lean
years. No one ever saw an aud
ience more interested, more eag
er to learn, never saw ears more
willing to listen to messages
which to them would point to ar
rest failure in the future.
The little town of Condon wag
ablaze with enthusiasm and yet
something like 100 of the best
citizens left on the early train
for Arlington to attend' the Tri-
County meeting. It can truly be
said that our time in Condon was
been less than 10 inches, in some i all to short and deDarture caused
adjacent sections only 7 inches! deep regrets on both sides. "
HIGH SCHOOL iO CLUB
TEAMS PUT TO TIE
