T he m achinists are doing some good w ork on the
tools and equipm ent for their departm ent. T he more
advanced boys are doing good work in gear c u ttin g .
T here is a rum or, well founded, that they expect to
produce a pow er hack saw w ithin the near future.
W e are anxious to see it.
T h e dairym en are th e kind that w ork early and late,
th a t get kicked occasionally, sometimes fail to get su f
ficient sleep, and are out and about while the rest of
us sleep. H ow ever, they seem to be cheerful and h a p
py and we appreciate their efforts for the additional
com fort and good of Chemawa.
T o the gardeners also is due a great deal of credit for
the q uantity of fine fruits and vegetables furnished the
kitchens this past season. W e som etim es fail to con
sider the u n tirin g effort and intelligence necessary to
successfully produce and b ring to our table the fine
subsistences for w hich Chem aw a is noted.
T he farm ers have been m aking good progress w ith
the fall seeding and plow ing. W e have a fine prospect
for a large potato crop this year. These potatoes had
no rain from th e tim e they were planted until th e
m iddle of A ugust. T h is is a fine exam ple of w hat
intensive cultivation will do to preserve m oisture.
T h e field show ed a fine healthy green when other po
tatoes in the valley were entirely dried up and w ithered.
W e com m end the energy of this departm ent.
