WAYS AND MEANS
CONINIENDS o. A. G.
Reports to senate That 1911 Appro-
priatiOn Was Well Spent.

Salem, Or, Feb. 14.-Following q
visit to the agricultural college at
Corvallis, the ways and means COM
mfttee made report to the senate.
which in general terms commends the
college and hints that additional ia
cilities will receive favorable action.
In part the report says:
THE committee found that the
money approprited by the legislature
in 1911 for buildings, equipment and
improvements has been judiciously
and effectively expended. The new
buildings are plain, substantial and
admirably suited to the purposes for
which they were authorized. In the
equipment of the buildings and in the
direction of the work of the institu-
ton we found reflected a policy of
strict economy practical business ad-
ministration and spirit of earnest,
effective effort.
1--WE found that the rapidly increas-
ing demands made upon the institu-
ton by the growing resident attend
ance and the requests for assistance
from the people Of the state who are
unable to go to the college deserve
and require additional facilities for
the proper prosecution of the work
for which the institution was estab-
lished."

business yesterday, that must be dis
posed of somehow before adjourn
ment. Including today, there are just
nine more working days to dothis in.
In fact, until last Tuesday. when
the $4,000 Deschutes survey bill was
passed in the house, no appropriation
meaures carrying more than $4,000
or $4,000 or so had passed either
house. Yesterday the house passed
the 100000 Columbia Southern rec
lamation project appropriation. That
is as far as it has gone in 81 days.
OF the 81, 27 Are Minor.
More than this, only four of the
81 measures passed have been meas
ures of real constructive importance.
The four are the Malarkey minimum
wage law. the widows pension law
the law increasing salaries of all cir
cvuit judges to $4,000 and the seriliza-
tion law.
The senate has been moving along
and keeping pretty well abreast of it's
work. but the house, where the or
ganiZation has been steam rolling this
and steam-rolling that. with the idea
principally of putting the governor in
the hole, work has piled up to a ter
rifle extent
1t has reached such pass now that

Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
wallis. Ore. Feb. 14.-(Special.) y
That egg laying is a hereditary char
acteristic has been conclusively prov
en- by the initial work of the State
agricultural experiment station in the
breeding of egg laying strains of poul-
try. DR.. James Withycombe, direc-
tor, in his biennial report gives some
interesting information on this point
arguing strongly for the advisability
and necessity of establishing a poul-
try breeding farm in connection with
the agricultural college.
Experiments have also shown that
there is q very wide range in egg pro-
duction among hens of the same
breed" says DIR. Withycombe. "For
example. in pen of Plymouth Rocks
receiving identically the same care
and feed, the range of production was
from 12 to 259 eggs in one year. 1t
would seem, therefore, that if a
breeding plant could be established
for supplying to farmers, on a large
scale, cockerels bred from heavy lay
ing strains, it would be of tremendu-
GUS financial interest to the state. The
poultry industry is becoming very
important, and if the average egg
production per hen can be increased
materially, it would mean, of course,
much greater financial returns.
I'm the breeding work for an egg
production, two methods are followed
first by the selection of breeding
stock from existing breeds and varie-
ties; second, by crossing to establish
a new breed or variety that will excel
in laying and general utility qualities.
1t is thought from the progress al
ready made that within a few years
the latter result may be obtained.
For this work, it is estimated that
SO to rs acres of land will be requir-
ed and that when the farm is proper
ly stocked and equipped with build
ings and fences, it will be self-sustain-
ing.
"The estimated cost of the plant
is as follows: Land, $1,000; resi-
dences $4,000; barn, $500; poultry
houses, $1,000; fencing, $500; team,
$4OO; implements, $500; incidental
supplies. 5000; total, $4,000"

RECORD MADE OF
ONE BILL A DAY

Salem, Or, Feb. 14.-Thirty-
bills have been passed by both houses
and sent to the governor in the first
81 days of the session-just a bill
day-out of 939 bills introduced. Such
is the extraordinary record made by
the 80 gentlemen who comprise the
Oregon legislature.
Never before at any legislative as
sembly in oregon have so many bills
been introduced and so few of them
enacted into laws after 81 days of
legislative endeavor.
Not one appropriation measure of
any consequence is included in these
81 bills. And this in spite of the fact
that there is nearly $9,000,000 in ap-
priation requests, as Governor
West pointed out in his message tell
ing the legislature to get down to
