The congressional baseball game,
which has been a feature of the

some tlmo past, will bo omitted this

W. W. Patch, project engineer of
Iho Klamath project, haa received
conies of the correspondence between
Iho secretary of agriculture and the
secretary of the Interior relative to
tho establishment of an experimental
farm on the Klamath project. Tn
matter Is of great Importance to thla
district, and has been the subject of
consideration both by the department
of agriculture and by the president of
tho Oregon Agricultural college. The
next move appears to be the securing
of funds from tho next session of the
Oregon stato assembly for the pur-
poso of establishing an experimental
farm. If thla Is done and local co
operation Is had. It appear likely
that tho bureau ot plant Industry can
also co-operato. The letter from Sec
retary Wilson to the cecretary of the
Intorlor follews:
"Sir Replying to the request of
the first assistant secretary, dated
May 2d, with Its Inclosure of'an ap
plication from the secretary of the
Klamath Water Users Association,
dated April 8, 1912, requesting that
an experimental farm or station be
established on the Klamath Irrigation
project, I would aay that It la the
opinion of our expert In the bureau
pt plant Industry that there la un
doubted nad for InvsetbraUomal
work on the Klamath reclasmatloa
project. Some three yeara ago we
had such an undertaking under con
sideration In connection with the ex
perimental farm that was started oa
tho marsh lands of the Klamath pro
ject, but at that time the local peo
ple were apparently disinclined to
co-operate with us to the extent of
providing tho necessary land. Since
then the subject has been under con
sideration with tho president of the
Oregon Agricultural College, who Is
desirous ot securing authority and
funds from tho Oregon state legisla
ture for the purpose of establishing
an experiment farm In the Klamath
region.
"Inasmuch as tho state authorities
are already Interested In tho matter
to tho extent above Indicated, It Is
not unlikely that If the Water Users
Association will take It up with that
station promptly some satisfactory
arrangement could bo made without
undue delay, though It probably
could not be accomplished unttt an
appropriation Is made for the work
by tho Oregon state legislature. The
above course Is suggested for the rea
son that somo ot the more Important
agricultural problems of the Klam
ath region have to do with dairying
and horse and hog promotion, rather
than primarily with plant production,
so that It Is felt that the state experi
ment station, which Is already equip
ped for such work, should oxerclse
tho leadership In this Instance.
"(t an experiment farm Is estab
lished by the stato on the Klamath
project, it will undoubtedly be posal
bio for tho bureau ot plant Industry
to co-operate on special features.
Early consideration ot the matter by
tho state authorities la Important, as
such an extension ot our co-operative
work for tho crop season of 1913
would need to be considered In mak
ing up the estimates for the bureau
of plant Industry ln September next.
"I hnvo tho honor to be, sir, vtry
respectfully,
"JAMES WILSON, Secretary."
