The old writers say that it came from Jupiter, the supreme deity of the Eomans, and this is the way of it Rhea, Jupiter's mother, soon after he was born gave him to the daughters of Melisseus, king of Crete, as his nurses. They fed him with milk from the goat Amalthea, an animal that was sometimes hadly treated hy the infant god. One day, it is said, in. a fit of temper he broke off one of Amal-thea's horns and gave it to his nurses, endowing it with the power of becoming filled with whatever ita possessor might wish.

Stover, irrigation engin eer appointed by the United States agricultural department to con duct a series of irrigation experi ments in the Willamette Valley, as been in Corvallis the past week, and out on college farm the work of installing an irrigation plant is going on.

The site selected is on the western part of the farm, along the C. E. railroad, where a small hop yard has heretofore been op erated. The work is co-operative with the national department of agriculture, and is under the per sonal supervision o. Mr.

Stover. The water for irrigating purposes will be pumped from Oak Creek by means ot a gasoline pump which is to be ready for use in a few davs. Six acres of land is to be devo ted to the experiment and a series; of crops will be grown consisting of hops, potatoes, corn, alfalfa, clover and vetch. A part ot each ot these, will be cirefully irrigated and a part wtll be left to grow with only the help that nature gives, and a comparison ot toe two crops, irrigated and unirriga- ted, will then be made. The ex periments will cover a period of years and much valuable data will, it-is expected, be thus ob tained, relative to the value of irrigation in the Willamette Valley, the amount of water necessary, the expense per acre, the ef fect on the soil, and much other information of a useful nature.

This year, owing to the late ness of the season when the plant is installed, the experiment can only be tried on potatoes, corn and alfalfa, two acres of corn and a half acre each of pota.oes and alfalfa. The results of the experiments will be watched with deep interest by all farmers and residents generally throughout the state, as 1 i great tnings may ue in, store oi the Valley under proper irriga tion, and the O. A. C. experiment station will, by this work, be able, in a few seasons, to give out valuable data for the benefit of the public.

Mr. Stover is to conduct ex periments in Linn county, also, as related in Wednesday's Albany Herald, says: "Mr. Stover has selected a site a mile south of this. city 4or his experiments, after haying. made temporary ments to.

do the work at Eugene. Stover was in Eugene last fall and selected a site for. the experiments on the Henderson farm near the Willamette river, four miles below Eugene, and agreed to do the work there. He returned this spring prepared to begin, but the farmers living in the vicinity wjuld not. co-operate with him and as the citizens in general seemed to lack interest he has come to Albany.

Stover has selected a tract of 130 acres, south of this point, where the Lebanon railroad branches off from the main line and bordering on the Santiam power canal, from which the water for irrigation will be taken. "The experiments will begin this week on a tract of alfalfa and ckver and as soon as a patch of vetch on the place is cut the water will be turned onto it to see if a second crop can be obtained. While the land selected for the experiment is ot so rich as that at first selected near Eugene, the water is handier and the cost of the work will not be so great." Was Once a Student. Monday evening's Telegram contains a dispatch from Vale, Oregon, telling of the shooting of R. L.

Hess at Sand Point, Idaho, while attempting to resist arrest Hess, it is staled, has been identified with a band of horse thieves and has tor two years been wanted by the police for stealing valu- able horses in the vicinity of Vale in July 1935. The Telegram dispatch states that Hess was shot through the hip and lung, and adds: "Bob Hess is well known in Malheur county. He was at one time a stndent at the OAC and is a strikingly handsome man. His people are pioneer hotel keepers of Vale." In regard to the attendance of Hess at the Corvallis college, it is learned from OAC headquarters that Hess was of good family in Eastern Oregon and was admitted to the school about seven years ago. Within a few weeks, however, it was learned that he was gambling and drinking, and that his condu-t was far from be- ing that of a gentleman, which cai.sed him to be immediately ex pelled from the institution.

Nothing furtner had been heard of him in Corvallis until the dispatch in the Telegram told of his last, and probably fatal, escapade. Splendid Program. The programs are out for the 14th annual assembly of the Wil lamette Valley Chavtauqua Association which is to be held at Gladstone Park, near Oregon City, uly 9 to 21, inclusive. There has been general re-organization, and tbe program this year is equal if not superior, to any issued in previous years. The association hereafter will be known as the "Willamette Val ley Chautauqua Assembly," the capital stock of which is $5,000 divided into 200 shares at $25 each.

Many splendid features appear, on this year's program, and the best lecturers to be obtained will be present. Among those on the list in their various lines, are: TJ. S. Senator Elmer J. Barkett, Dr.

Stanley R. Krebs, Dr. John Roach Straton, Hon. Frank S. Regan, Dr.

Approves Corvallis One of the delegates to the Or egon development league in Portland last week told how Corvallis Fpent but $300 advertising in Eastern agricultural papers of large? circulation and received over 6,000 replies, with the result that several huudred new people located in Benton county. This is a plan of advertising that would be a success for Eugene or any other Oregon town, because it reaches the people we are afur.

Thrifty farmers who will buy small-sized places and farm them thoroughly are wanted, and when we get them the 01 her classes of population will come as needed Advertising in high class maga zines is expensive, and reaches for the most part people who are not looking for new locations, but buy magazines for entertainment and recreation.
