DR.. James Withycombe, director of |
the Oregon Experiment station. who
was here yesterday attending the
Good Roads convention, and before
which he delivered an address, is
probably the foremost authority in
the state on the subject of agricul-
ture, and he has made a close study
of farming conditions in Eastern as
well as Western Oregon.
In speaking yesterday of the pres
ent needs in this section, he said:
1.-THE greatest problem that the far
mers of Eastern Oregon have to face
is how to rotate their crops so as to
prevent the impoverishment of the
soil. The continual raising of wheat
or any other single cereal will even
tually deprive the soil of the neces-
sary organic constituents, and thus
cause a decline in the yield. While
this is being prevented to an extent
by the practice of summer following,
it could be done much more thor
oughly by the raising of a different
crop and at the same time some return
would be derived from the land"
For a substitute for the summer
fallow DR.. withycombe suggests the
raising of field peas, and states that
it has been demonstrated in Sherman
county that they may be grown on
the dry wheat land. BY raising a
crop of field peas a farmer may Sc
cure forage for stock feeding, and
at the same time the raising of the
crop will enrich the soil by the addi-
ton of the nitrogen from the roots
and leaves of the plant Also, the
peas may be harvested and placed
upon the market.
While alfalfa. according to DR.
withycombe. will grow upon any lant
where wheat may be raised, it i:
not good as a rotation crop for thu
: reason that it takes several years t
obtain a good stand, whereas the fielt
: pea is an annual and may be raiset
= one year and wheat the next.
s DR.. withycombe has been the heat
: of the agricultural course in the Q
/ A. c.. and also the head of the ex
t pertinent station for the past sevel
years. During that time he has he'll
= hundreds of institutes all over tn
h state, from which many good result
n have come. The last one to be hel
a was at Medford, and to attend tn
r convention here the doctor wa
n obliged to jump from one corner
the state to one almost diagonally or
a posite.

Odd way to chOos. Pastor.

A West Side congregation was
called upon not long ago 10 choose a
new pastor. The last three ministers
had been personae non gratae with
most OF the parlshiOners, and before
selecting another the congregation did
some pretty tall thinking. There was
one woman Of experience whose ad-
vice carried particular weight.
Preacher after preacher was invited
10 the pulpit FOR q trial sermon. and
all, in the final analysis, were reject.
cd by the female arbiter. At last
there came along possible incum.
bent who mot with her approval.
"Thc r.a8un I am sure j" will give
satisfaction" she said, is because
ne has the right kind ~ n wife for Il
minister. She allows him 10 rant
around all he wants 10 at home, and
doesn't sass back found out long

congregation That was why We
couldn't stand the last preacher, This
one will be all right. We won't hear

the man call, According TO last ac.
