Show DRYDEN'S WORK IN OREGON. ft will be remembered that Professor Profes-sor James Diyden was for a number of years the poultry man of the Agri cultural College in Utah. His work was both theoretical and practical, especially practical. His exhibits of the progress and profit of poultry raising rais-ing in Utah were first class. His poultry poul-try bulletins were noted throughout the Unitpd States, and he made showings occasionally through The Tribuno that were well calculated to .stir poultry raisers up to great things. When Presidont Kerr, formerly of tho Utah Agricultural College and now PrcsiQeut of the Agricultural College of Oregon at Corvallis, got fairly to work iu Oregon, ho sont for Professor Dryden, who, at that time, was doing poultry work for a big concern in Buffalo, Buf-falo, New York, Dryden responded to the call, and is now doing his excellent work in poultry culture for the benefit of the farmers in Oregon. We find the following note of his progressive work in a. recent . number of tho Ore-goniau: Ore-goniau: The srlcullural College lias hesun lo teach poultry culture by moving pictures. pic-tures.
