Speaker Puts Foot Down on Bill for Agricultural High

down on the bill TO establish agricul-

hornets nest. The results of the stir
ring are likely to be that the Speakers

in those States that are particularly in
terested in the spread of agricultural
education.
Representative Davis Of Minnesota is
the author of the bill in question It
Is intended TO provide appropriations
for agricultural high schools and branch
agricultural experiment stations and NJ
so TO give Federal aid to industrial ed l.
cation in the city high schools.

being 10 project it so it would operate
satisfactorily in the various sections Of

President Roosevelt is favorable to
the legislation. 1t is one Of his favorite
ideas that the boys and girls in the
country should be given such education
as will encourage them to remain on

Agriculture in the House is inclined
against 1t and unlikely TO make a fav-
Orable report on ii.
In short, Representative Davis and
other friends of the bill have about
come to the conclusion that the bill is
doomed, that ITS eyes are sot." The
news has travelled to Minnesota, where
, there is strong sentiment for the bill,
and things are happening TO Uncle
Joe as a Presidential candidate that

Not only does Minnesota appear per-
turbed because the Speaker is charged
with spurning the wishes of the folks
out In the rural districts, but there has
been widespread sentiment in other ag-
riculturaI States for the bill, and this
sentiment will be more or less turned

Farmers Preparing to
Gather Exhibits
For Fair.
Premium List Is Ready for Dis
tribution --- Pamphlets
Neat and Attractive

With less than a month before
the opening of the Mayyille
Grange fair, it becomes a matter
Of Importance that farmers and
ranchers interested in the fair
should begin at once the selec-
ton Of their best products for
exhibition. At every agricul-
tural exposition there is specie
of the genus homo that goes
in and out of the exhibit booths,
repeating some such expression:
"Pshaw I've got better stuff than
that at home" Such remarks
should not be heard at an agri-
cultural fair for the best prod
ucts of the region should be on
exhibition, not with the mere
idea of capturing a prize but
rather to demonstrate the fecund-
ity Of the soil and to show the
easy-going farmer what may be
accomplished in the growing of
fine products from a farm, the
soil Of which is not better adapt
to the growth of cereals, fruits,
or vegetables than his own. To
many who attended the May :
vile fair a year ago the exhibits
in certain classes were revela-
ton. The fair this year prom
ises to be more interesting. A
number of families are planning
to camp on the grounds and the
lack Of accommodations to enter
tain the visitors which was man.
ifest last year will be remedied
to a great extent. The people Of
Mayville did not expect so large
an attendance and when the
visitors came the accommoda-
tions were taxed to their full
capacity.
Farmers, Save your best for
the fair and plan to be there"
Stockmen who contemplate en-
tering stock at the fair should
begin to fit up their horses, mules
and cattle for the show ring.

Right Rev. Paddock
Holds Services.
CHURCH UNITY IS THEME
EplscopaiIans Rejoice over his
Coming Congregational
Pastor tenders Use of
Church to Visitor.

Church unity received new inn
petus in Condor when Rev. 7. F.
Murphy, of the Congregational
church, invited Right Rev.
Robert L. Paddock, bishop of
the Episcopal church for the
Eastern Oregon diocese, to oc-
cupy his pulpit at both the morn
ing and evening services last
Sunday. The invitation was ac-
cepted and two large congrega-
tiohs were present to listen to
two stirring sermons.
For the past ten years the
bishop has been associated with
the work among the slums on
the East Side district Of Greater
New York. and his appointment
to the Eastern Oregon diocese,
where the country is compara-
lively thinly settled. is an un-
usual change. However, since
coming to Oregon, Bishop Pad
dock has entered his new work
with the same zeal and energy
that characterized him in his
former field, and he is now en-
gagged in visiting every section
Of his diocese. A strengthening
of the church and a renew
ing of zeal among Episco-
palians who are scattered every
where throughout Eastern Ore
gon will naturally follow under
the leadership of the magnetic
personality of this noted church
man.
The Episcopalian devotional
service was a rather new custom
in a Congregational church, but
those present took an active part
in it.
Speaking on the subject of
church unity. Bishop Paddock
said in his evening discourse
that he hoped the time was not
far distant where in cities less
than 1000 people all Protestant
Christians would worship to-
gether. I'VE viii build the
most pretentious building in the
town; it will be a building as
nice as the court house. 1t will
stand out as the center of the
life of the community, and from
it shall radiate influences that
will make for the city's well
fare.
Bishop Paddock has a rare
faculty of telling a story and
telling it well. Every anecdote
told last Sunday was illustrative
of some moral point, which was
sent home impressively to the
hearers.
Rev. Paddock went to Fossil
Monday to look after the Epis-
copal church's interests at that
place.

Agricultural Experts

Members Of the faculty Of the
State Agricultural College assis-
ted by experts from the Depart
ment of Agriculture were in
Condor Wednesday for the pur-
pose OF Investigating the soil con-
ditions Of Gillian county with
the aim Of establishing an exper-
iment station. The party con-
sisted of: President w. ]. Kerr,
Professor H. d. Scudder, W. A.

College at Corvallis, William Jar
dine, expert in dry farming, and
A. p. Slower, irrigation expert.
both of the U, S. Department Of
Agriculture.
The work Of the experts win
not only include a thorough chem
ical analysis Of soils to determine
what crops way be grown most
successfully but will extend to a
study of water sheds and dry
farming conditions.
On their arrival to the Wheat
City, the experts met a number
Of prominent citizens who are
interested in the growing Of GER
eals and who have kept well in
formed on crop conditions and
yields for a number of years.
This data was Of special interest
to the visitors.
Drove TO Matney-- Conference.
The distinguished visitors then
drove to Matney Flat. investiga-
ted soil conditions and examined
several farms in that section.
On their return to Condor the
agriculturalists held a conference
atthe Oregon hotel with a num-
Der of local citizens among
whom were d. B. Thomas, man
ager of the Condor branch Of the
Kerr, Clifford & Co., Hon. w. j.
Mariner of Blalock, S. c. Dod-
son, who owns one of the finest
ranches in the Glenn neighbor-
hood and W. A. Campbell, the
Ferry Canyon wheat grower.
The experts talked of their
plans at length and ascertained
the opinion of the committee re-
garding the project.
In the installation of an exper-
mental farm, it is necessary to
obtain a tract of at least 320 acres
but $40 would be preferable so
that the experiments may be
conducted on such a scale as to
give practical results. This farm
which is to be conducted jointly
under state and govern
ment experts must be an aver
age farm it must possess
average soil qualities; a poor
tract of land or an un usually good
piece of land will not meet the
requirements.
To Be Located--Where2
One thing at least appears cer-
tain, namely that one expert
mental farm will have to do for
several counties. In that event
It'll probable that but one exper-
mental station for Wheeler,
Sherman and Gillian counties
since these counties are identi-
titled together in various ways,
will be established.
Conditions in the adjoining coun-
ties are similar to those of Gil
liam. The composition of the
soil, and the yield per acre are
almost identical or sufficiently sc
that agricultural experiments
conducted in one county would
prove valuable to the others.
