a. ). and s, which provide for work
estimated 70 cost between SL0O0o00
and Ss.O00000 Since the law provides
that only $1O,000.O00 may be expended
upon the barge canal during the first
two years. these plans cover the largest
share Of the work The state engineer
is now working upon other contracts,
which he expects to have ready before
the end of the year. which will provide
for an expenditure of money up to the
fun amount of the S10000000 limit
As the state board of canvassers did
not formally declare the barge canal
law until Dee. -, 1903,
no more than this sum can be expend-
ed for the work before two years from
that date.
After the canal board approves the

Professors French. Judson and Burd

Professor Aldrich will be present to-
morrow morning to discuss injurious
insects and how to get al them in the
orchards.
Mr.. Goodhue of Salem. Ore. is pres
ent to take up the matter of establish
ing creamery here If sufficient cows
can be secured and the prospects are
favorable for the ultimate success of
such an industry.
At the meeting last evening Professor
French gave a talk on the work of the
experiment station in it's relation to
the great industrial develcLment of the
state. speaking more in detail of the
dairy industry and the feeding of live
stock He made some comparisons of
the conditions here and in other sec
tons where the dairy industry had be-
come a great success, showing that this
section with proper care and attention
in the growing of forage plants could
be made as successful as any other
portion of the country where dairying
had become an established branch of
farming.
The talk was followed with an Illus
trated lecture in the breeds of live stock
and the work of the experiment sta
ton.
q
sidering the limited notice which had
been circulated that a meeting would
be held last night.
This morning the time was taken up
with talk by Professor Judson on
corn crops orchards and orchard cul-
tivation. Many questions were asked
and considerable interest manifested.
Probably some experiments will be
undertaken in this vicinity next season
to determine the effect of cover crop
in the amount of water required as
compared with clean cultivation. The
majority of orchards, orchardists be-
lieve that it requires much more water
where a crop such as clover or alfalfa
is grown in the orchard, and that the
benefits are not commensurate with
the losses thus sustained.
The afternoon session will. be taken
up with some discussion on milk test
ing by Professor Burd and the dairy
COW by Professor French. This even
ing some business considerations in
connection with creamery will be
considered at the Commercial club
rooms.

handsomely engraved checks which
have been so numerously distributed.
