Great Research Results
In Agriculture Listed
Looking back over half a century
of service of the Oregon Experiment
station to the state of Oregon on the
occasion of its fiftieth anniversary,
one finds a vast array of minor and
major discoveries that, taken in the
aggregate, have meant and will con
tinue to mean added millions of dol
lars in income to the agricultural
industry. Wm. A Schoenfeld, pres
ent director of the station, asked to
select 15 discoveries or achieve
ments of the station that are among
those of greatest value, chose the fol
lowing, which are not arranged in
any order of relative importance:
1. Discovery of a successful meth
od of removing spray residue from
fruit, when embargoes were placed
against fruit carrying such residues.
2. Discovery of the cause and de
velopment of control of Bangs dis
ease (infectious abortion) in cattle.
3. Development of an Oregon small
seed industry to meet a profitable
TODAY'S QUOTE.
"Thousands of chicks have been
raised on medicated drinking water
of various and sundry colors, but
they lived and grew despite the dope
rather than on account of it. The
mere inclusion of some unknown
magic preparation in the drinking
water or feed to prevent something,
we know not what, is just one of the
best ways known to get rid of hard-
earned money." H. E. Cosby, head
of poultry department, O. S. C.
