Curtailment Destroys.
Appropriation for the experiment
station at Hermiston has not been
included in the federal budget, it
was announced by Senator Steiwer
from Washington, D. C., last week.
As the budget stands now it simply
means that the work at the local ex
periment station will be discontin
ued. This economy does not only af
fect the local station but also cur
tailment at Pendleton and Medford
Mr. Douglas, director of the bud-
get at Washington, is eliminating
the support of these stations under
the guise of "economy” but in do
ing so forgets that the vast western
territory is being benefitted by find
ings at these stations, which must
be carried on consistently In order
to gain the proper results.
If these experiment stations are
eliminated it will create a "missing
link" between the farmer and a val
uable source of information. Such
stations are the fact finders for the
farmer, and their only reliable
source of information.
The Hermiston station has done
much to direct the development of
agriculture but is just at the eve of
its usefulness with the development
of the Columbia in the offing.
“Planned economy” calls for the
continuation of this usefulness.

shrinkage from the live weight was
about .54 per cent.
It Is unnecessary. Professor Hurd
points out. to wait until the broilers
weigh two pounds, for they can be
killed any time after they weigh a

The Lesson-Sermon consisted of

Mary Baker Eddy, including the
following:
“Oh, that I knew where I might

“That God is a corporeal being,

materially but spiritually we know
Him as divine Mind, as Life, Truth,
and Love”. “A mortal, corporeal,
or finite conception of God cannot
embrace the glories of limitless, in
