Farm Adviser Appointed by
County Court.
Prof. French, of the Corvullis Agri
cultural College was here this week in
troducing W. K Shinn. who has been
appointed County Adviser, by the
county court.
Mr. Shinn comes from Okanogan
county, wash., and is familiar with all
branches of farming in irrigation sec
tions and will prove a great boon to the
farming communities of this county.
He visited one place this week and
found where the advice of a vetinary
would have saved a valuable cow, some
hogs and pigs and he believea that if
the advice he gave is followed there is
still a chance for them
Mr. Shinn will make his headquarters
in one of the rooms of the Ontario Com
mercial Club and when he is not there,
messages mav bo left for him.
He is here to help a!! the farming
people of the c.unty an.i while he may
find problems that he cannot solve, hi
ii in touch wilh person- who can an-l

Worthy Master Conklin, through
whoso efforts this program was possible
felt some hesitancy about asking such
noted speakers to conic here at a in Ml
when the residents of this coininnnity
lire " busy, fearing that it would be
able to secure audiences of BU'fi
SMOTSiSt to make it wiii tli while but
all who have been approached on the

that it will more than pay them to leave
their work to listen to such an array of
