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."

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.

POEM FOR THE DAY

A GREAT MORAL LEADER
A newspaper reporter beuins his report of a day in the
Lulled States Senate like this:
"Meeting n barrar-e of questions as to whnt the KcIIokk
Treaty to renounce war will actually accomplish, W illiam E.
Borah, Senator from Idaho, its leading champion in the Sen
ale, .declared that '60 nations have backed it by the moral
force of their people.
The (jreatcst factor in international affairs today is the
moral force of the masses of the people, and this is an attempt
to organize those forces.' "
I lere is a cause that fits the man
I le s built on thrs stupendous plan:
1 1c does not think in terms of pelf
Nor count effect upon himself;
I le has the statesman's sober eye
Which dares be frank and face the sky;
He does not fear a lonesome fiKht,
Asks one straight question: "X hat is ri",hl?"
An ideal champion of a cause!
He dares the riRht without applause;
No olfice can his conscience bribe
I le is of that-heroic tribe
Who'd ralhe rbear the chastening rot)
1 han ciisoley ihe voice of God.
I he moial conscieii.-e of the world
N in this senator unfurled.
He dates the epithet of "ijood."
W ill stand or I. ill lor brotherhood.
I le does not stop lo count the gain
With lion heait and daring btnin
I le fhnx himself in any breach '
Uirie er his sword for ri(.-hl can reach.
More stieni;th lo HotaS's valient voice
lo make all nr.htr.nn souls rejoice!
Staunch Horah many a name recalls
hu h hiu:eis round our C'onnres hails. 1
We think of Webster. Sumner. Clay.
And Hoar when lion like and giy.
No malor in hour of piide
lint Borah meets him level eyed.
Cod j;ird his brave and noble soul
