Federal Support Assured For Dry Farul

The following has Just been re
ceived by this office from tn,
Oregon Agricultural College n
Corvallis:
Word has been received By
President w. j. Kerr, of the Ore
gon Agricultural College, from
the authorities at Washington
that the support of the Federal
Government is assured for the
extension of the agricultural ex-
perimental work in the state of
Oregon.
Letters and kilograms from
Samuel Iortier, chief of the
Bureau of Irrigation Investiga-
ton at Washington, and from
DR.. Carlton, state that the APP
preparations for the work in Ore
gon will, in all probability, be
passed by Congress.
The plans for the extension of
this work have already been pre-
sented to the Board of Regents
of the College and have been APP
proved by them. The assurances
from the Federal Government
that they will be in a position to
cooperate with the state in this
work leaves the matter ready for
presentation to the state legisla-
ture. The state will be asked to
provide only one-half the cost Of
maintenance. The various local
tiles in which the work will be
carried on have offered to fur
nish the land, fences and other
equipment.
The work will be carried on in
cooperation with the Agricul-
tural College. Experiment sta
tions are to be established in
Central Oregon. Southern Ore
gon and extensive irrigation ex-
periments will be carried out in
the willamette Valley. The
Central Oregon station will be
concerned principally with ex-
perimental work in dry farming.
The Southern Oregon station
will take up investigations in hor-
dairying. vegetable |
and other branches of
agricultural work. The irriga-
ton experiments will be carried |
on throughout the willamette
Valley for the purpose of deter
what can be done to in
crease the productivity of this
section of the state. -

PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH MEETING.

The Presbyterian church, of
Burns. held its annual business
meeting last night at the church.
The attendance was fairly good.
A. J. Irwin acted as chairman
and Mrs. w. L. Blot was elected
secretary. Reports were had
from the different departments
of the church. Mr.. Archie Nc
Gowan was elected trustee for
three years; Mr.. Gault was re-
elected treasurer; Mr.. w. l..
Blot, Mr.. Archie MCGOWAN and
Mr.. Julian Byrd were elected the
finance committee; Mr.. Arthur
Whitney and Mr.. Archie Nc
Gowan were chosen ushers.
The time of the annual church
meeting was changed to the
second Friday night after New
Year.
The matter of a new church
came up and was discussed at
length, and resulted in the pastor
being instructed to write the
Board of Church Erection asking
it to submit plans of buildings
and as soon as such plans are re-
ceived another congregational !
meeting is to be called. 1t looks
quite probable now that the
Presbyterian congregation in
Burns may haye a new church |
home in the near future.
