Arrangements have just been com pleted by J. A. Churchill, superintend ent of public instruction, for sending the boys and girls who won the npi tal prizes in the industrial club work at the State fair last fall to the Or-i gon Agricultural college for tne Boys' and Gills' summer school. Twenty-one children were successful in winning these prizes at. the State fair last September. The capital prizes consist of membership in the short course at the Agricultural col lege with all expenses paid. It repre sents the highest award in each pro ject offered in th-i Industrial depart ment at the State fair last year. Thi prizes are made possible through coa triburions made to Superintendent Churchill for the furtherance of thii work by public-spirited men and wam en of the state. Thos who received these .rewards are: Iceland Chailev, Hrownsboro: Gertrude Courtney, I. a Grande; Earl Stewart, Cottage G:ove; Homo1.- lluri II, Monnvmth; Hazel Hurscll, Monmouth; Clifford Cook.

K. bureau of agriculture, is increasing in interest to such an extent that clubs, are being formed in every section of Oregon. Since the first of the year Supe: intendent Churchill has had two field workers, N. C. Maris and L. P. Harrington, continuously engaged in forming clubs throughout the state. The work of the Agricultural college in sending to the members of thesj clubs, bulletins on how to select seed, care for the growing crops and also bulletins on canning, sewing, etc., ha-: made a wonderful advancement in the standard of the work done by the school children of Oregon. The ex ample of Glaus Charley of Jackson county shows what a wholesome influ ence one boy may have in this work. At the State fair in 1914 he won the state prize on his corn. The r.e.t year the efforts of the county school superintendent and one of the Med ford banks, fifty boys of .ftVk.son county were supplied with seed corn selected from Claus Charley's orize- I winning corn. Each of these fifty ' I boys raised from one-eighth to one-, (fourth of an acre of coin, the amount j I which each boy planted being deter- j I mined by the.ige of the boy. The ex-j ; hibits of corn coming fiom these i boys to the State fair in 1015 weiei said by the judges to exceed in quul- ity fully 100 per cent the corn exhibit 1 of HUH. Similar incidents can be told of many other boys throughout the state, and of many girls enrolled in the canning and the sewing clubs. "As a result of this work," says Superintendent Churchill, "we can feci certain that in the next genera- j tun. rhfM-n will id tmiiin nf ovn.vi rural community of Oregon."
