The Cost of Dem onstration Work Ths financial statement of the agricultural demonstration and advisory work carried on in Crook county, 191213, under the direc tion ol the Oregon Agricultural College is as follows: rCSPS RKCEIVKD Crook count? court, SSrts) lew bank dts- count. $r.j .; Orrron Wahlnilon R.

The major share of the expenditures (a little ever 16,000) was for the actual co operative and advisory work car ried on throughout the county by the agricultural expert in charge aid his various assistants. Those men spent the great majority of their time traveling from one sec tion of the county to the next and irom farm to farm, visiting and advising the men immediately on the land concerning their most pressing problems, writing hun dreds of letters, holding many public meetings, exhibiting at the fairs, furnishing articles to the ' eounty press, supplying choice teed and crop-growing instructions to scores of co-operators, and in aaany other ways bringing the teeded information directly to the teople who called for it. The ex penditures for the salaries of these Ken, for their traveling expenses, tor the seeds distributed by them, and the many office expenses in turred, postage, freight and ex press, advertising, etc., (as shown in the summary) indicate what the college considered the moat ef fective method of reacting the farmer with the help he needed without loss of time. So far as we were able to learn at the time that this work was being done, the leading farmers throughout the county as well as Yhe business men and the county sourt itself, heartily approved of the way the work was being done and the results obtained. All of those crops, by the way, which were grown on the demon stration farms as demonstrations of the proper methods of growing trops in that region, gave a very kandsome return on the cost of the operation, in most cases aver aging about 20 per cent net profit There were on both farms, how ever, a number of small experi acental rows and plots, and in gome cases demonstration fields, which were grown just to show what methods should NOT be used, and those, of course, in most cases did not show a profit. Jfow the college had planned to eontinue this work in Crook Coun ty over a period of two years, and the fund of $10,000 estimated as required to do this would have been ample for the purpose. How ever, no further funds than those noted above were received. Hence the second year' demonstration and advisory work was ol necee- sity given up. A consuierauie amount of cooperative work throughout the county was carried on at long distance from Corvallis durins iyl3. but this, of course, could not take the place of the demonstration and actual field ork. A bulletin, by the way, giving the results of the demonstration work in Crook county and the Ex periuient Station work in Sherman and Harney counties, together ith a discussion of tillage and cropping methods tor Central Ore gon is now practically ready for the printer and should be off the press in about a month. The bul letin will give in tome detail re port of the yields obtained from different crop and methods of farming tried out by the college in Crook county in 1912, and I be lieve will prove of interest to the farmers of that region, as few real te how much was accomplished in the six months of 1912, during which the college actively carffed on the demonstration work.

(WO for the construction of a , suridus (und su,uo Crook County High School closed the first month of the year's work Friday, the records showing one hundred and fourteen enrolled and all classes in good working order. Faculty and students alike are filled with interest and enthusiasm and the year promises to be the best in the school's history. The new de partments re filled to their capac ity and good practical results will reward the progressive enlargement of the school's curriculum. Under the efficient leadership of a real broad-minded school man, such as Superintendent Baughman is widely known to be, Crook County High School will become one of the lead ing educational institutions of the state. " In athletic work the year has be gun very auspiciously, as two victories already crown the efforts of the football team. The game at Madras on Wednesday week re sulted in 39 to 0 in favor of C. C, H. S. boys and at Fossil they won again, the score standing 13 to 0 Instructor H- E. Pratt has charge of the athletes this year, a fact that insures victory at each contest. The English department will soon be ready to take up the work in classics and the classes are delighted as they enjoy mastering the rich ness of their mother tongue. Superintendent Baughman and the high school board opened nego tiations for the purpose of purchas ing a moving picture machine to be used as one of the educational fea tures of the school. The two literary societies held their first meetings Wednesday and gave short interesting programs. The officers of these societies are as follows: Alphas President, James Cram; secretary, Norris Bixby. Ochoconians President, Elmer Thomas; secretary, Harry Stearns. The high school realizing the im portance of public speaking has en tered the State Debating League and will soon begin work for the tryout. Some one will lose, of course, but it takes real men and women to stand defeat in the right way, and so the loser is often victor in spite of the judges' decision. The League question for the Upper Columbia District is, Re solved, that a majority of all votes cast at the election should be re quired to pass an amendment to the State Constitution. The question is a live one of personal interest to all good Oregonians and those, who wish to see the home team return with the victor's pennant should help furnish "points" that will work up into wining material when "sides" have been chosen.

Arguments against a reference of the two bills are presented by the board of regents of the school, Governor West, the Alumni Associ ation and the People's Higher Edu cational League. Petitions asking for their refer ence were filed by H. J. Parkinson, secretary of the Oregon Higher Ed ucational Institutions Betterment League. Parkison was the leader of the movement which two years ago brought about a reference of bills appropriating money for the university. The petitions requesting that the sterilization act be referred were filed by Mrs. Lora C. Little, vice president of the Anti-Sterilization League, of Portland, and the coun ty attorney act petitions were led by J. E. Craib of Portland. Wil fred E. Farrell of Portland filed the petitions invoking the referendum on the workmen's compensation act. The chief argument urged against the county attorney bill is that it allows the governor to ap point the county attorney beyond the next election, it providing that those appointed shall hold until 1916. Those opposing the steriliza tion act declare that it is not humane measure that society can not be reformed by the 'butcher knife" and that it will increase instead of diminish crime. The main argument advanced in favor of a reference of the two ap propriation bills for the univer sity is that it ought to be consoli dated with the Agricultural College and no further buildings ought to be erected until the people can vote on the question of consolidating the two at the next general election. Consolidation, say those opposing the reference of the bill, would not serve the best interests of the two schools of learning, nor the people at large, and is not feasible. Besides the five measures above, referred to the voters of Crook county will decide whether or not the county shall be bonded for 1200,000 for the improvement of the highway extending from the north line of the county in a south erly direction through the towns of Madras, Metolius, Culver, Prine ville, Redmond, Deschutes, Laidlaw, Bend and to the Klamath county line four jniles south of La Pine. Metolius precinct will vote on a "wet" or "dry" issue for that biali- wick. If you are in favor of any of these bills becoming a law, vote '"Yes." If you are not in favor of a measure, vote "No." Undivided proltla, leas expenses and Taxea paid M.lM.M National Rank Note outstanding ... ,W).U0 Due to state and private hanks and banker 17.4, ndlvldual deposits suldect to check M.XWKI Demand ceriinvaies ol deposit lo,Js.
