OHEGON, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 2i. 1929. YOT'TII AND FARM INDL'STRIKS How well the youth of toward estubli.shinir a better dusirics is .shown by the official report of MI club actiw- j tnv in the count v for the year arvordinif to the report, the work of this organization of en-ciy-'Lie boys and girls increased in excess of 100 per cent over the enrollment of 1927. A grand total of 4H2 pairs of juven ile, hands, coordinating with active, practical minds, under the direction of experienced adults and the extension system of Oregon State college, turned out products worth in the ag gregate $.,811.01, from which there was netted a profit ( $2,380.06. This profit was exclusive of $500 in premiums won for exhibit'! at various fairs. The clubs represented 31 communities and 57 school districts. Already, we are told, the enrollment for work during the present year has passed the 500 mark, bringing within the circle of the club addi tional communities and school districts not previously identi fied with the movement. This insures a record of results during 1!)2H that will eclipse the mark of 1928, excellent though the latter was. And doubtless, as the years go on, tile number of these juvenile industrialists will continue to grow larger, strengthening the guarantee to the future that there will be an abundance r.f well-trained young men to carry on our dominant activities of agriculture, horticulture I a:m muck raising, alio a o.iaiK-uig mrmoer oi young women to efficiently perform the related duties within the sco e of domestic science. Reviewing l-II club progress in the t'nited States as a whole, C. W. Warburton, federal director of agricultural extension sees the American farm boy and girl rising from the shadows of ill-rewarded drudgery to sit at the right hand of their parents' in councils on agricultural progress. "In no other phase of our national life,'' Mr. Warburton added, "has the youth of the country experienced a more pic turesque and fundamental evolution." Commenting on the j honors won by juvenile exhibitors in competition with men ! of long experience, Mr. Warburton says: "Kach of these; young people is a splendid example of modern farm youth ' r.nd the new order in which Ixiys and girls are making money Tor themselves, advancing agricultural efficiency, laying the foundation for more prosperous and interesting lives and proving by personal accomplishment that the farm boy and girl is capable of sitting in council with his parents on mat ters affecting their own future and that of the occupation they follow." i o Pl'TTINU WATER Following a personal inspection, on the part of a re- prc.-ontativc group of Kiddle farmers and horticulturist i, last fall, of the irrigation nroiect f innnrpil nnrl cnrrierl lo .... . . . cuiiipii'ipiii oy n coiiipHrauveiy land owners in the vicinity of that the Pouglns county men are projecting a similar undi';4 tr.king, proposing to take water from Cow creek above Kid dle and build nccos-ary ditches on both sides of the valley, thus bringing pretty much all of the land in that section un der irrigation. These progressive Douglas county farme's and fruit growers are not asking county, state or federal aii' in building necessary ditches, but are organizing themselves into an irrigaton district and will issue their own bond;, much as have the Jnsephne county growers in the Kogue river valley. They have visioned the immense possibilities of their lands under irrigation, and are going at'ler the im mensely increased profits to be realized from soil wheiv ample water is available fur crops during the dry seasons.

He's now in Florida on the estate of the man who (onrelved the Idea of reducing merchandise figures from round numbers to 9S cents. Those inclin ed to envy him should reflect that upon his shoulders has already bven cast the great load and that alter March he will carry a more teilinir burden than any other man in the world. IT WAS LUCKY that an orphan boy. throuKh sheer effort, climbed to the topmost rung of the ladder of success in America, we tell each oilier. In one sense Herbert Hoov er Is fortunate.
