As Mr.. Tallman has suggested, it
should be possible for Umatilla county
to get much benefit
Let the County from the law passed
And State by the last legisla-
Join Forces. ture providing for
cooperation between
the state and counties in carrying on
agricultural field and demonstration
work.
Under the terms of the law enacted
the state of Oregon stands ready to
bear half the expense of such work if
the county will meet the other half,
The only restrictions are that the
work must be done subject to the
supervision of the agricultural col
lege and that for counties having less
than 5000 square miles of area which
includes Umatilla county the state
shall not expend more than $4,000 in
any one year.
There is a provision in the same
law that authorizes our county court
to appropriate this county's share of
the money in case the demonstration
work is taken up. The appropriation
may be provided by a special levy
when the annual tax levy is made or
the money may be taken from any
county funds not otherwise appropri-
ated.
Therefore 1t may be seen that the
annual sum of $4,000 may be secured
for carrying on field and demonstra-
ton work in Cmatilla county. With
that money to go on much might be
accomplished for the benefit of farm
ers not only near Holdman but in
other portions of Umatilla county as
well. For instance a typical ranch
might be rented and farmed by the
demonstrating superintendent so as to
provide an object lesson in dry land
agriculture. The ranch itself would
produce a revenue and there would be
the $4,000 fund with which to meet
expenses Of experimental and demon
stration work

the state has an offer that should be

HINDUs' WORK IN MEDICINE.
(New York SUM-


According to DR.. C. Muthu of the
Mendip Hills Sanatorium, Hindoo
doctors understand the germ theory
and inoculaion 5000 to 5000 years
ago. In an address delivered before
the Royal Society of Medicine, DR.
Muthu said that the Hindoo. civiliza-
ton was the most ancient in the
world, and that their medicine was as
old as their civilization.
They excelled, he said, in materia
medica and chemistry; they were the
first among the ancients to practice
the dissection of the human body and
to employ minerals and mercury in
ternally. They understood the germ
theory. the circulation of the blood
and inoculation for smallpox. Their
successful treatment of snake bites
astonished Alexander the Great, and
their surgery was bold and skillful,
for not only did they set broken bones,
but they trephined the skull gave an
aesthetics in serious operations and
even amputated limbs.
After the death of Buddha. when
surgery began to decline and medicine
flourish more, medical houses and
hospitals were established in India
which were provided with medicines
and instruments and attended by ply
sicians who relieved the sick and suf-
fering, but long before Buddha there
were medical schools and colleges.
Arab medicine, which was founded
on Hindoo medicine, taught European
physicians as late as the seventeenth
century, and western people owed a
great deal to India in this direction.

There are Americans in Mexico as
