In order to increase its traffic from
the inland empire and to induce far
mers to cultivate their land more
thoroughly throughout the wheat
belt the o. R. & N. company 10
planning to begin a campaign against
summer following in eastern Wash
ington and oregon.
Under the direction of General
Freight Agent r. B. Miller of the
10. r. & N, an anti-summer fallow
train of specialists, lecturers and
farming experts will be run over the
system holding meetings and talking
to farmers in regard to farming
methods in the inland empire and 1t
is hoped that by this means Of agi'
tation and education that every aero
of land in the farming sections Will
be in crops every year.
This work will be along the same
line as that performed by the late
Col r. c. Judson, who. for many years
was industrial agent of the o. R. &
N. and who as such, introduced corn
growing into Umatilla and other
eastern oregon counties.
A Portland correspondent says OF
the plans of Mr.. Miller:
One of the most important move
ments ever undertaken by a northern
railroad has been inaugurated by r.
B. Miller. general freight agent for the
Oregon Railroad & Navigation com
pany. This is campaign against the
practice of summer following, now
general throughout the Inland en-
pire. Under this system half of the
wheat fields Of the interior lie idle
each year. 1t is planned to. correct
this practice and make every acre
work every year by diversifying crops.
Intent on accomplishing this pur-
pose, the traffic department of the
Oregon Railroad & Navigation COM
pany will run a special demonstration
| train over its lines in Washington.
The Washington agricultural college
at Pullman is cooperating fully in the
movement and a number of agricul-
tural experts will make the trip and
lecture TO farmers on doing away with
summer fallowjng. The train will
start from Pullman. Wash, March 8.
