Cooperative business in stitu tes were held last year, one in McMinn ville and one in The Dalles, w ith marked success in the purpose for w hich they were planned. Numbers of in stitu te s are being held over the sta te th is year. T heir purpose is to acquaint m anagers and directors w ith th e legal phase of the various cooperative set-ups, and discuss the legal responsibilities of each and th e possibilities of personal liability.

A fter h earin g the plan outlined by Mr. C arpenter, the rep resen ta tive group voted to hold th e in sti tu te on th e dates suggested, F eb ru ary 2 and 3, named J. H. Reid, R. G. Saylor and H.

Pierson, assist an t county agent, who acted as chairm an. Vote: The m eeting date sug gested' was changed because the a t torney and au d ito r were not avail able for th a t time, A sum m ary of experim ents being carried on at th e U m atilla Field S ta tion, tw o miles south of Herm iston, include work on curly top, or w ilt, hardy s tra in of pasture grasses, w ilt resistan t varieties of alfalfa, and a five year turkey breeding program. Many o th e r tests are being made w hich prove valuable to local farm ers and to those farm ing sim ilar soils in other parts of the Columbia Tiver basin. These experim ents de velop problems and results over a period of several years. The prac tices are entirely scientific, conduc ted and approved by th e United S tates D epartm ent of A griculture and Oregon S tate college. The U m atilla Field S tation was established in 1909 and consisted of 40 acres of land under irrigation. It has th e distinction of being the first sta tio n established on a cooperative basis of federal and state operation, and has been conducted under the direction of the D epartm ent of the In te rio r and the Oregon S tate college since th a t time. All such work has been established on th is cooperative basis. The Field Station was established prim arily to carry on experim ental work under irrig atio n agricu ltu re best suited to sandy soils, juj,d is the only experim ental station i n the United States dealing w ith sandy soil types. In Oregon th e benefits from th is station spread from The Dalles to th e Idaho S tate line in the Colum bia River Basin. In 1932 the experim ent station w as reestablished on 180 acres of raw sandy land. D uring the years of the s ta tio n ’s existence the state d epartm ent has appropriated $3,000 annually, and the governm ent, in tu rn , has met th is fund on the basis of three to one. The governm ent b a s an investm ent of $35.000 in buildings, canal systems, and land im provem ents, all of w hich would d eterio rate very rapidly if the s ta tio n ceased to function even one year. Among the outstanding experi m ents now being conducted at the station are the 16 established varie P ictured here are some of the i nique displays seen d u rin g the H er l--n lig h tin g contest sponsored by tile H erm iston Garden club, w in tie s of alfalfa and 37 other experi ners in which were announced a week ago.
