The State College experiment station
now has under way the establishing of
number of demonstration farms,
in dairying, farming under irrigation.
cereal growing, berry raising, and stock
breeding. With the cooperation of
prominent farmers and the commercial
clubs of Washington, the assistance
of which has already been offered in
several instances, the station staff
hopes to have in operation within the
next two or three years, dozen or
more of these demonstration farms.
Each farm will be in charge of an
expert, and under the general super
vision of the State College Experiment
Station. Generally stated, the pur-
pose of this work will ne to exhibit
the maximum profits to be derived from
the separate lines of diversified farm
ing, including in its scope each of the
many farm industries of Washington.
President E. A. Bryan, of the State
College, has just received a COM
munication from M. Kaumanns, I'm
perial German Agricultural Attache,
in which that official states that he
intends to investigate the agricultural
possibilities of the Pacific Northwest
during June and July, and asks the
cooperation of the college experiment
station in the work he proposes to do.
M. Kaumanns is coming under
instructions from the German govern
ment, to examine the farming lands
of this region, and the methods of
farming in use. He is particularly
interested in any untitled land, which
may be fit for cultivation.

DR.. S. B. Nelson, State Veterinarian,
and head of the State College depart
ment of veterinary science, is making
a strong effort to have Walla Walla,
Garfield, Columbia and Asotin counties
released from the quarantine which
the state of Oregon last week declared
against the sheep of Washington. The
state veterinarian points out that these
counties are SO separate from the rest
of the state by the Columbia and
Snake rivers, that scab and other
infectious diseases to which Oregon
objects, have not spread to them. In
conference with Governor Chamberlain
last week, DR.. Nelson and Mr.. H. c..
Bryson, president of the Wenaha Wool
Growers Association, produced evil
dence purporting that in the inspection
of Fl, 600 sheep, of Walla Walla county
and all the sheep of Asotin county,
not one sheep was found to be infect
ed with scab. The sheep of these
counties are summered in the Wenaha

and the Commissioner always suggests
in his instructions for the opening, that
those who are desirous of taking land
at any of these openings either visit the
land themselves or have a trusted agent
do SO. The Commissioner warns against
land sharks and land agents. who are
interested only in getting their "divvy"
out of the homesteader, and very often
do not tell the truth about the land

clause of the homestead act
Communication proofs will not be ac-
cepted when they fail to show that the
required residence and cultivation was
continuous to the date. on which appli-
cation to make such proof was filed IN
the local land Office.
1t is the belief of the Commissioner
of the Land Office that a strict con-
struction of this rule will materially
reduce speculation in this class of en-
tries, and reserve for the bonafide home
builder the land suitable for agricul-
tural purposes.
Printed copies of this ruling will be
available for distribution in about two
weeks.
The ruling of the Commissioner of
the General Land Office sent to the Reg
isters and Receivers of all the Govern
nlent Land Offices, is an obligatory or
der from which there can be no ap-
pealing. 1t is as follows:
1.-The following rules will govern your
action upon Homestead commutation
proofs hereafter submitted, namely:
Il. Commutation proof offered under
a homestead entry made on or after
Nov. l. 1907, will be rejected unless it
be shown thereby that the entryman
has in good faith actually resided upon
and cultivated the land embraced in
such entry for the full period of at least
Ia months.
"2. Where such communication proof is
offered under an entry made prior to
Nov. /, 1907, if it be satisfactorily
shown thereby that the entryman had,
IN good faith, established actual resi-
ience on the land within six months
from the date of his entry, he may be
credited with constructive residence
from date of entry, provided it be also
shown that such residence was, in good
raith maintained for such period as
when added to the period of construc-
tive residence herein recognized, equals
the full period of IA months residence
required by the homestead laws; and,
3. In no case can Communication proof
be accepted when it fsils to show that
the required residence and cultivation
continued to the date On which applica-
ton for notice of intention to make
such proof was filed.
