The next year he accepted a position as a s s i s t a nt entomologist with the U. S. Dept. of Agriculture. Upon t he death of his father, he took charge of t he home farm until 1895, when he to the Oregon A g r i c u l t u r al College as was called entomologist. At t h at time Oregon was w r e s t l i ng trie codling moth. Recommendations of east with e rn experts did not fit their conditions, a nd for seven years Prof. Cordley studied t he problem, a nd in t h at time found a solution which h as saved t he orchard- ists of Oregon millions of dollars.

The teachers and house committee of the home economics division held an "at home," February 3d, from 4 to 5:30, in honor of those attending the short course for housekeepers.

Benton Gebhart, prominent fruit grower of Hart, Mich., talked at the Hort. Club last week upon the evolution of fruit growing, from the experiences of a pioneer in Oceana county. His first venture was with plums, and he has made a specialty of them since the start, having owned and operated some of the best plum orchards in the state, the one on his present farm being nine years old.

C. last week giving instruction to the juniors and seniors on forest pro tection and administration of the national forest. The students were very eager to learn of this work from a man right on the job, and beset the lecturer with many questions. Prof. Chittenden knew Mr, Morrell in the service, and persuaded him to stop off for this work on his way to Denver from Wash ington. Besides lectures during the day a special forestry club meeting was convened one evening for the purpose of listening to an illustrated lecture. The one-week school for farmers, held at South Haven last week, was one of the best that has been held this year.
