IRRIGATION EXPERIMENT
STATION FOR OREGON

of the personal appeals of President
William j. Kerr, of the Oregon Agri-
cultural college, the depa- tments of
the interior and agriculture have
agreed to establish and equip an ex-
pertinent farm on the Umatilla irriga-
ton project, to assist farmers in prop
erly developing their land. Secre-
tary Garfield today set aside sufficient
money to erect the necessary build
ings, construct laterals and purchase
equipment The bureau of plant in
dustry promised to cooperate with the
state in station, the cost to be equally
divided.
Professor Kerr said that, had not
this step been taken many farmers on
the Umatilla project would lose their
holdings through inability properly to
use their land and water.
Professor Kerr also secured from the
agricultural department a promise
to cooperate with the state in estab-
fishing an experiment station for dry
land farming in Morrow, Gillian or
Sherman counties, where experiments
are to be conducted to ascertain what
grains are best adapted to regions
where there is less than normal rain
fall. Eastern Oregon farmers are
much in need of assistance in develop
ment Of. the dry farming industry.
Through the effort of Professor Kerr
the next convention of the Association
of American Agricultural Colleges
and Experiment Stations will be held
in Portland next July, and the Farm
ers' Institute convention will follow.

Make thick whitewash of the best
unslaked lime procurable. To each
gallon of this add from two to four
ounces of salt, and put in an equal
quantity of sulphur and two to four
ounces of crude carbolic acid. The
sulphur and salt should be added while
the lime is shaking, and, while we do
not wish the sulphur cooked, we wish
it to be in such condition that it will
be very prominent on the trees. Some
people advocate the use of some of the

they would be all right if more lime

NO DUTY ON
SHOES
MANUFACTURERS WOULD
WELCOME COMPETITION
OF WORLD.
Tanners Demand Free Hides and
Say America Would Beat the
World-Ceneral Assault on
Leather Schedules Before Com
mittee.

Washington, Nov. -Standpatters
in the house ways and means commit
tee were startled by telegram from
one of the largest shoe manufacturers
in the United States advocating 1.-THE
complete abolition of the tariff on such
goods as they manufacture. declaring
that the duty is wholly unnecessary
and distinct injustice to the consum-
ing public, and that this firm welcomes
''the competition Of the world.
This telegram came to Chairman
Payne from A. E. Little & Co., Of
Lynn, Mass, and is as follows:
GAS probably the largest manufac-
turers of women's fine shoes in the
world, we desire to go on record as
declaring the present tariff on such
shoes as we manufacture wholly un-
necessary to our state and a distinct in
Justice to the consuming public. We
favor the complete abolition of this
tariff and welcome the competition of
the world. We should be glad at the
convenience of the ways and means
committee to present arguments for
the removal of the duty ON boots and
shoes like those of our own manufac-
ture -
Free Hides Are Anticipated
The tanners and the shoe and leather
and betting manufacturers made a
united assault on the duties levied by
the present leather schedule and the
Sc %o no I, ,n1
to the free list and the duty on leather
goods, betting and shoes materially
reduced
The tanners started the contest in
lively fashion by asking the commit
tee to restore hides to the free list.
Fred Voegel, Jr., of Milwaukee, de-
clared that the tariff of Is per cent on
cattleh ides did not protect stock rails
ers and added that the domestic con-
sumption of hides and skins was mad
equate and was not increased or slim
ulated by the tariff. Then David P.
Leas, Philadelphia manufacturer of
leather, stated that the Chicago packers
had monopoly on hides, to which
every man, woman and child paid tri-
butte
''Put hides on the free list, and the
American tanner will beat te world"
was the statement of Elisha Cobb, a
leather manufacturer of Boston.
At the night session, which contin-
ued until nearly midnight, numerous
reports of art leagues, museums and
educational institutions asked for free
entry of works of art. It is not epect-
ed that the committee will favor any
reduction in the duty on works of art
for general use. a
Tariff on coke, rubber, pens and pen
ellis, precious stones, silverware, jew
elry, buttons and other articles of the
schedule also we're discussed at the
night session, some representatives
asking for protection, while others,
mainly importers, asked for lower
duties.

Farmers Wanted.

Wanted-3,O0O practical farmers
who would like to own homes of their
own. The Government has nearly
100000 acres of land lying under the
various irrigation projects throughout
the West for which water will be
available next season. The farm
unit on these projects varies in most
cases from 40 to so acres of irrigable
land, depending upon location. In
many sections tract of grazing land
has been included in the farm unit
wherever practicable, bringing the
total up to 100 acres.
The only charge for these farms,
besides the regular land Office fee for
filing, is the actual cost of getting
water to them, and payment may be
made in ten annual alinstalments, with
out interest.
These irrigation projects are scatter
ed over the entire arid region, from
Canada to the Mexican line. In con-
sequence, every variety of crop
grown in the temperate zone can be
raised under them. If you would like
a fruit or dairy farm, garden for
market truck, tract for diversified
farming, hog or poultry raising, just
write to the Statistician of the U. S.
Service, Washington,

Details Of One Planned Between Bos-

Passengers between New York and

be travelling in airships operated by a
navigation company, according to an
announcement by Charles J. Glidden.
the automobilist, who has recently be-
come an enthusiastic balloonist.
Mr.. Glidden says the company, per-
mission to incorporate which was re-
Gently granted by the corporations
commissioner, will use either dirigible
balloons or aeroplanes. Its purpose
will be to manufacture and operate
aerial devices and to establish aerial
routes for the transportation of freight
and passengers in the United States,
Canada and Mexico. With relay sta
tions at Springfield and New Haven,
the trips between New York and Bos-
ton can be made most Of the year
within seven or eight hours. Mr.. Gid
den plans to experiment first with
small balloons capable Of carrying one
or two passengers besides the opera
tor.
Stations will be esta blished close to
the street car lines on the outskirts of
cities, with suitable facilities to house
the dirigibles and supply any less OF
gas en- route. An inexpensive plant to
manufacture hydrogen gas will be in
operation at each station. AS the diri-
gibles will travel at an average height
of 500 to 800 feet, very little loss of
gas should take place, he says.
Pending the establishment of the
air line and to familiarize people with
aerial voyages, ascensions will be
made from Pittsfieid and North Ad-
ans in the spherical balloons. The
new company holds options on large
manufacturing plant Of aerial ap-
paratus and is negotiating for the
manufacture of dirigibles. The form
Of dirigibles to be adopted will depend
upon the success Of the experiments
now being carried on by the govern
ments of the United States and
France.
Aerial travel, says Mr.. Glidden, will,
when thoroughly established, be the
cheapest and safest form Of transpor.

deafening uproar that might have been
