had
Rome of their surplus energy. A
fountain in one corner of the
grounds snd a few hardy flowers
and shrubs close against the build
ing gave an air of refinement to
the scene. And why, I asked, did
you place the new building up here.
I thought there were some ohjec
t'ons to changing its location.
Well, first there were two bridges
built a roes Ochoco which made it
more accessible to pupils on the
rorth side of town and the dis
tance from the old phce was only
ab ut three blocks so that the
patrons readily saw the advantage
of Laving it a little more away
from the business part of town.
The grounds were bo much more
spacious, besides being close to the
High School, it made it possible
for the eighth graders and fresh
men to meet together for their so
ciety and literary functions. So
that now I think the patrons well
satisfied with the change.
The High School, too, I saw had
outgrown its former quarters and
had built another brick and stone
building with commodious assem
bly halt and stage suitable for all
school functions; a fine gymnasium
had been fitted up and the teach
er of manual training had this in
charge. I saw the panels of fence,
gates, chicken coops, tables, chairs,
sideboards, etc. that the students
had wrought and marveled that so
much had been accomplished in so
short a time.
A domestic science course
been added and the girls were
learning that most noble as well
as most ancient of professions that
of housekeeping, and the delicious
bread, pie, cake, jelly, canned
fruits and vegetables they had pre
pared with their own dainty hands
looked good to me.
The English course had been en
larged and made the course of the
curriculum. The graduates of the
Commercial department made
good wherever employed and the
teachers finishing in the training
department held good positions
and showed the efficiency of their
training by being sought after
wherever a thoroughly trained
teacher was desired. I expressed
my surprise at the beautiful gard
ens adjoining tbe grounds and was
told that Crook county had been
given an appropriation from the
state for experimental work in ag
riculture. After having been
shown everything of interest I was
invited into dinner at the dining
hall and dormitory fitted up out
of the old courthouse. Surely
there were vast changes in five
years.
I left the schoolhouse and
started down tbe street past the
old school grounds and wonder of
wonders, the block had been en
closed with the courthouse grounds
and a moat beautiful park rested
my eyes and what gave an added
touch of beauty as well as quite a
metropolitan air was a Carnegie
public library with free reading
room, children's department and a
basement fitted up for a gathering
place for boys, thereby keeping
them off the street and away from
temptations.
Strange, indeed, wlmt public
spirit and a few years will do.
But I awoke to find it only a
dream, but such a dream as I am
sure every loyal citizen will help
to bring about.
Don't make the mistake that the
present grounds, having done duty
for several years, will still suffice.
You are building for the future
and a future that is going to show
a very large increase per grade,
besides th"e addition of two or more
full grades and where you now
have 200 pupils on these grounds'
in a few years you will have thrice
that number. Think well before
you crowd the little and big, old
and young, into such small
quarters. For the children of to
day are the men and women of to
morrow and we want strong, able
bodied men and women. Men
and women made strong by the
best of conditions surrounding
their school life. A Taxpaykk.

Gardening In
Crook County
1IY W. M'KIMi.
Prior to coming to Crook county j
some tight yearn ago, the writer
wan, to oim extent, intervstod in
gardening, both in the Willamette
valley and in Southern California.
Therefore, upon entering a new'
and undeveloped country, it wnsi
only natural that th mind should
turn in 4h.it directum.
We have watched with uitirh
interest the growing of vegetables
during the pint few years, and
while we can, with safety, say that
much has been done along this
line, we can with equal safety say
that much more might have been
done and we hope will bo don in
the near future.
The work of growing a good
garden in ceutral Oregon diftei
somewhat from the tame work in
other localitiw, and it seems to us
that a few suggestions at this season
of the year might not be amiss.
The following instructions are
based, not upon theory, but upon
actual experiments carried on by
the writer himself, and by others
whose experiments he lis been
permitted to watch. We are also
indebted to liohert Wythecomb,
superintendent of the Ksstern
Oregon Kxperiment Station nt
Union. In his last biennial report
and other literature we find much
valuable information.
The first step in the garden is
the preparation of the soil. The
soil of Croon county is nearly all
of volcanic formation, and almost
eutirely lacking in organic matter.
For this reason it is necessary to
use a large amount of well rotted
stable manure. In fact those nit
familiar with the conditions will be
surprised to find how large an
amount can be used with good re
sults, provided always that it be
well rotted and thoroughly mixid
with the soil.
The fall months ' are much the
best season for the application of
of manure, but it is not yet too
late, provided it is done at once.
Deep plowing snd thorough mix
ing of the soil are necessary to get
best results.
The second step is seed felection.
And right here is where many
people are making a serious mis
take. ' It has been proven time
and again that seed grown in the
northern and New England Btst s
is much better adapted to tl e
climate of Central and Eastern
Oregon than that grown in the
long damp seasons of Western. Ore
gon and Washington. If you stop
to think a moment you will sie
the reasonableness of this rttiti
merit. Tbe northern mil is tlu
result of growth in the short quick
growing seasons of our northern
stales. This has been going on fori
years and yejirs and the result is a
hardy, hustling, quick maturii g
plant that is much Int er adapted
to our sKort cold season tli. n
valley-grown seed. In our gree;
house work this season we are uit
ing only such seed for growing
plants. This seed is obtained from
one of the oldest and most reliable
s;ed houses in New Yoik, and by
ming such seed we hope to get a
much better plant than could be
grown from valley tetd. Another
important matter in seed selection
is getting the variety best suited to
our climatic and soil conditions.
The station at Union recommends
the following:
Cabbage: Early Jersey, Wake
field and All Seasons.
Cauliflower: Early Dwarf, Er
furt, Celery: White Plume.
For green beans, the following
proved to be the quickest: De
troit Wax; Golden Wax and New
Stringlcss. All these gain pods
ready for picking in sixty-five days
from time of planting, which was
May 2Glh.
Many kinds of peas and potatoes
were tried. Also stock and table
beets, carrots, onion, etc. ' All did
exceptionally well. Kale is also
very highly recommended by the
station as a summer and fall feed
for cows, hogs and chickens.
Forty-two tons per acre were
grown under ordinary field con
ditions. After seed selection comes the
riiring of plants which are to be
transplanted to the open ground
later on.
,Thi is a work which is by no
means as easy as some imagine.
In this section where the nights are
cool and frosty all Ihrough the
sprinu months, some special prepa
ration in the shape of hot-beds and
cold frames will be necessary
Plants may be started in a mild
hot-bed early in the seatrtin but
must be transplanted to a cold

frame after about four week old,
and left to harden until lime for
them to go into the open (.'round.
The importance of this transplant
ing can not be einph.isiz nl too
strongly. F u ll time a plant is
re set tlie result is a rheckinn "P
of the growth for a time, while
new root growth is being tnadu.
This is just the result which the
gardner desires. Fur the plant
that w ill give best results when set
in the garden is not the una with a
big top, but one with small top
and heavy root growth.
One step more and we are
ihrough with our cultivation sub
ject. This subject him been
threshed out by every agricultural
paper and experiment station for
years. Yet the majority of tbe
people refuse to profit by the ad
vice given. Frequent shallow
cultivations are absolutely ihc.'h
sury to the best results. Never
mi re than eight or ten days should
be allowed between these wink
ings, l'.y these frequent Work
ings a dust mulch is produced
which stops nearly all evaporation
and holds the moisture in the
ground where it is much needed.
But says gome one, "This means
work. Lots ol work. I laid work
to boot." All too true, but unless
you are willing to do it, you had
butter leave the gari'enraising to
the other fellow. Horn, one who,
like "Mother Htwlcins" in "The
Iloosier School Master," likes to
"dig in the elements." For a good
garden demands work and close
attention. But at the present
Drice of stuff of this kind it will
surely pay for tbe work
trouble.
