Fresh confirmation of damage to
the Argentine wheat crop by lo­

Mississippi' iff a prohibition state,

Taft never touches wine, or other
intoxicants at public banquets, It
looks as though the Mississippi

evening seized this opportunity to
consume a lot of high toned booze
under cover of the presidential
presence. Of this incident we shall
hear more anon from the prohi­
bitionists of th’e country.

was looking over a piece of track
he found a new railroad spike.
Taking it to the boss in charge of
that 6tretch of road, he handed it
to him and said: “ You must be
more careful. Nothing must be
watted. Pick up all your spikes
as you go along.” “ Why, Mr
Hill,” replied the boss promptly,
“ I’ve been payin’ a man a salary
for three years to hunt for that
spike.” __________ ___ '

The Eastern Oregon Dry Earth­
ing sub-Station, located at Moro,
was established, as you know, for
the purpose of studying the dry
farming problems in Eastern Ore­
gon. It is a cooperative institution
between the State Agricultural Col­
lege of Oregon, at Corvallis, and
the United States Department of
Agriculture. Each contributes $2,’
3(XJ per annum for its maintenance.
Sherman county furnishes 240 acres
of land, as well as permanent im­
provements and teams.
This station is one of about 20
which the Department of Agricul­
ture has established in ço:operaflon
with the respective states in which
they are located. They extend
over a wide area, most of them
being in what is known as the Great
Plains Area, the latter reaching
from Mexico on the south to Can­
ada on the north, the 100th merid­
ian on the east and the Rocky
Mountains on the west. Several
stations, however, are farther west,
where there are large areas devot­
ed to dry farming, as in some of
the interior valleys of California
and Utah, and the intermountain
districts of Montana. The wide
territory covered, however, does
pot present as widely different
problems as would at first be sup­
posed. The work on the station
farthest south quite closely resem­
bles that in the same area farther
north.
In general, in dry farming areas
we find a strong tendency to follow
a single crop system of Firming; a
perfectly natural circumstance, for
under conditions that present great­
er risk, the tendency is to risk less.
Experimentation is expensive, and
un l ess compe ll ed t o adopt n ew-
methods on account of the rapidly
depleting soil, the farmer grows
only those crops known to yield a
profit. The rapid settlement in the
past decade of the semiarid region
has turned attention so largely to
dry farming that we have been
constantly called on for informa­
tion concerning methods in sec­
tions where these conditions pre­
vail. Stations have followed close­
ly the development of these areas,
and at practically every one of the
20 thus far established,we have had
to confront the single cropping
system.
i
Frequently persons confuse ex­
periment stations with demonstra­
tion farms. There is much differ­
ence between the two. The dem­
onstration farm takes one or more
systems that have been tne<TTrid
proved to be the best for a certain
section, and by actual practice il­
lustrates to the community their
advantages. The experiment sta­
tion begins without any knowledge
of the best systems, and by making
extensive trials of all kpown sys­
tems, finally solves'Xhe problem
after many years’ work on the sub­
ject. Their results are then given
to the community. It is true that
id time an experiment station may
become a demonstration farm, af­
ter it can give out definite informa­
tion concerning methods which
will be practical and profitable.
You can therefore see the injustice
of a criticism frequently made when
a station is being established, viz:
“ How can an absolute stranger
come here and teach us how to
farm,after our yearsof experience.”
We are notait present, in establish­
ing this experiment station at Mo­
ro, making any nttemnt to tench
farn'ritrgi*' What we »..mi ».» <■»
to develop newer and more profit­
able systems than those now in use,
and when we prove they are valu­
able, then it will be time enough
for us to tell you about them.
In the selection of a station site,
a great number of factors are to be
considered. It should be in a place
easy of access; in view of trains, or
along some main road of travel,
for the value of a station is en­
hanced by the number of people
it reaches; and the soil conditions
must be representative, neither the
best, n o f yet the poorest, for re­
sults obtained, on either of these
would not serve as a basis of com­
parison.
«
At the present station site, we
have about 240 acres of land of all
gradations from very poor, or scab
land to very good land. We also
have pll slopes and a considerable
range in level over the field. We
are thus able to try our various ex-
périment» under as wide an area
of varying conditions as Is possible
on ^ single tract of this. sine.
