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.
