There wns no legit imate excuse for the tnuit flin or the crontion of mislendiiifr inference. Thnt sort of thing is peculiarly Ucnuerosfpie. Mite what ho unys urn, Tnrnrtfn, mmmftm "fjtWF' mmotw, , Ill II J . ..I February, lnl.". Ilricfly. thnt information is to the effect that that stntion in it five yours of existence hiw collected for unnlysis soil snniples from alt tho lending soil types in the county, ul though no nnnlysis has yet been .inhilo; that that work was liegiiu last sumtiier nnd will probnbly be com jfleted next summer, when n bulletin will bo printed concerning the results; thht during the summer of lOlfi thirty complete experiments were conducted jiii ns ninny different farms in tho county nnd thnt during the fnll of .1010 another bulletin will bo publish ed exposing the results. Alter nil, it is only n promUo of information Inter on. MMcnilliig Inferences Let it he said, now for nil time, thnt this rper never has published, under my nnmC or otherwise, to my knowl edge, the statement thnt the entire nrcn of this vulley is deficient in lime content. On tho other hand, it hes printed under my name the statement that eel tain soils need lime; nnd then I proceeded to describe the conditions under which lime is necessary and tho method of its application. I have nlso described some of tlie. ''symp toms" that indicate tho need of lime; nnd I followed it with a statement of tho effects of lime in our soils and other conditions of soil deficient in .carbonic ncid, together with tfto ac tion of lime flour in rendering plant food nvuilable. I hnvc never ndvised the use of lime without first deter mining to a veitaiuty thnt tho soil In nny given instance needed it, nny more thnn I litvo prescribed n physic for n fanner who is physically well. 1 have (i right to believe that the pnperintendent of the southern Ore gon experiment station knows this to be a fact, for the Mnil Titbunc to an extensively rend newpnper. Wh theve inferences, then, in his public tnlk and printed porbiflneo? What JUx licet Ilo'ac farmers pay of the sum necessary to maintain the southern Oicgon experi ment stntion. Only .f.'iO do they pnyf Is thut his excuse for ignoring them? Are the funners of this county to un derstand that, because they pay only .f30 directly toward tho support of that institution they nre entitled only to jfiO worth of service I Why, then, do they not get the $f)0 worth! Just One Mow Tact I want to say this to Superintend ent Keimer nnd I say it without lin ger nnd without nny suggestion of threat: Wo intend to got homo bene fit out of the Kouthere Oregon exper iment station nnd we do not intend to limit it to .yoO worth. Th people of the entire state are taxed to support that institution nnd that fact doesn't lessen its superintendent's re sponsibility one whit. We intend to mnko it useful, not only to tho pnoplo of Jnoksnn county, Silt to tho people of the entire state. It is not n polit ical sinecure. Too much politics in the farming business is just as dan gerous to the farmers' inteiests ns too much lime. The farmers of this vnlley want service from thnt station and they nre willing to pay for it. Foi that pay they demand u reasonable equivalent. m mm for SAN KltAXCISCO, Feb. 1 - A con tract for cotifltruotlon of a 7100 ton "stenmahlp, to bo used In the Nor way ervlce, has been let by George W.
