Oregon, under act of M;.rch 8. 1S79 FriJay. Oct. 10. 1924 Biennial Report of County School Supt, Morrow Co. (continued from page 1) District No. 22, Idea, purch ased lumber this week to build a new schoolhouse. There has been no school in this district for se?.ral years. District No. 85, lone, will in tbout five weeks eomplete the erection of a building containing eia-ht recitation rooms beside basement Connected to the building and made a part thereto will be an auditorium and gym nasium combined. Ihe cost is about $43,600. Barns to shelter the horses were built in three districts. Improvements have been made in a number of districts, such as painting, remodeling, cleaning ate. A well was bored in Dis trict No. 23. also one in District No. 51. In three other districts cisterns were built and filled with water a few days before the opening of school. Boyi and Girls uub Work is not as strong as I would like to have it If it were possible to have a elub leader in each dis trict after school closes in the spring, or if we could have a county club leader during the vacation period results would be satisfactory. Boys and girls are enthusiastic at the beginning of the school term but with no county fair and no competent leaders throughout the county. there is little incentive. Credit must be given our county agent R. W. Morse, and Mr. R. B, Wilcox for tne enort made in this work and' for its- successful completion, t We lament tne loss ot our county nurse. Neither the red cross nor the county were in position to finance the work longer, hence 'we have been without since November, 1923. For several years we have been 100 per cent in O. S. T. A. membership and we feel that wet can continue to be so. We have County Divibion of tte O. S. T. A. All the teachers in the county have been members of this division and we think this coming year will be no exception. For three years we have had a Reading Circle Library in the cointy. These books are loaned to the teachers free of charge. Three local institutes were ubstituted for the annual insti tute, the first one being in .session at Heppner. School boards gave their teachers one Friday in October to attend. The Otis Intelligence lest was given to every teacher and later to every pupil attending school. The Hedrick-Hoppes Test in Oregon History was given to all eighth grade pupils, and before school closed all pupils were given the Woody-McCall Arith metic test and the Monroe Reading Test. The two other institutes were held one at lone and the other at Boardman. The County Unit Plan was placed on the ballot at the time of the Primary Elec tion, but failed to pass. We feel however that the people will try to learn more about the system nd perhaus in time will realize its benefits. The outlook for this year is yery encouraging. With a splen did corps of teachers, with an awakened interest in the mem bers of school boards, the tax payers and patrons, we feel that the schools are fitting into the needs of the communities and we are sure the year will be a successful as well as a prosper ous one.

When pnople hoard that the Pacific, International Llve atock Expotitlon at Portland had been destroyed, It wai like a blow In the face. But the Indomitable spirits who formed It first, who labored tor Its establishment and continuance were not daunted. x Within a few days, work had been begun on a new home, "bigger and better than erer," and now It Is Hear ing completion. The contractora hare promised to hare It done and ready for occupancy by October 25th, and the great Exposition will open Ha doors to the public on the morning of N'orember 1st with a larger and more beautiful show than ever in Its his tory. The new structure Is modeled In general after the old one, for the ar rangement and plan of the former ne was hard to beat. The stadium has been enlarged, however, and forty feet have been added to Ita length, and the seating capacity has been Increased to 7000. The horse department has been en larged and Improved, as has the poul try department, while the boys' and girls' clubs will have a department ei cluslvely for their exhibits.

Collected within the walls ot the Immense Expotitlon building are not only the finest dairy cattle to be found anywhere In the world, but hundreds ot other anlmala, repre senting the time, labor and thought and work of centuries to bring them to as near perfection as the Ingenuity of man can compass.

Monte, County Agent Last spring the County Agent planted a treatment test in the wheat nursery on the Troy Bo gard farm north of lone. In this test Bluestem was sown on the 25th of March, treated with formaldehyde, blues tone, Blue stone and lime, and copper carbonate. Stand counts made after the wheat was up showed the following percentages ofj stand. Aftercounting the plants in a rod length row the treat ment giving the greatest number was listed at 100 per cent and the counts figured from that basis was as follows: Method of per cent treatment of stand Formaldehyde 42 Bluestone 95 Bluestone & Lime 97 Copper Carbonate 100 Other tests have shown that there is a large loss in germin ation when wheat is treated with the wet treatments and sown in fairly dry ground. With copper carbonate showing as good smut control as the wet methods the advantage in better stands es pecially in a dry seeding time makes the copper carbonate treat ment very desirable. The Morgan Sunday school enjoyed a picnic dinner last Sun day. Rev's. Head and Morti more of lone were in attendance and conducted a service at the schoolhouse, Rev. Mortimore preaching the sermon. This school remained open during the harvest season and maintained a high average atten dance during the quarter. There will be no preauhing service at the lone Baptist Church Sunday, the pastor, Rev. E. B, Johnson being in attendance on a a convention of the Baptist churches of the state of Oregon. Father and son week has come to be an established institution in most communities but has never been observed here. We wonder v. hy. The Sunday school at Hard man has reopened with a full attendant. . The social committee of the Union C. E. Society met last Monday evening at the residence of Louis BalHiger to formulate plans for the social activities of the coming season. Those in attendance were Mr. S. E.
