Agricultural Short
Course Well Attended
Continue from first page.
Prof. Hyslop has lectured on
various phases of soil and crop
work. In the discussion of the soil
composition, the relation of the
various soil components, sand, silt,
clay and humus to crop production
and soil fertility were studied. The
need of humus in many Crook coun
ty soils was made clear and appli
cations of barnyard manure, the
savin? of all straw and stubble and
disking them into the ground was
recommended. In certain cases the
turning under of green manure was
advised. By adding to the humus
supply the moisture holding capac
ity of the soil is increased and the
supply of available plant food is
made larger. The need of potash
fertilizers in some soils where land
plaster is so commonly used for
alfalfa, clover and potatoes was
shown.
Every man in attendance showed
great interest in the soil judging
which was given just as it is done
at the Oregon Agricultural College.
This work shows how to examine
soil for its agricultural value. Prof.
Hyslop says that if we know its
"physical characteristics, its depth,
position and moisture supply we
can tell the crops it is best adapted
to.
Everyone was interested in seed
testing work and the discussions
showing why seed should be
thoroughly cleaned in a fanning
mill and how to treat smut brought
out many questions.
A great many dry farmers are
going to try the field peas and al
falfa in rows next year and more
crops will be hogged off than ever
before.
The illustrated lectures on dry
farm crops showed a good many the
real productiveness of dry land
when it is properly handled.
Prof. Fitts of the Animal Hus
bandry department lectured on the
breeding, feeding and management
of horses, which, by the way, form
one of the most important classes
of livestock for the state. He dis
cussed the care of the colt and the
importance of handling the colt and
proper care of the feet. Attention
to the feet of the colt, says Prof.
Fitts, will obviate many of the de
fects of the legs later on.
The judging of horses outdoors
was fully attended and many were
the questions asked about the good
points of the horse. An illustrated
evening lecture showed many pic
tures of famous prizewinning horses
and teams. Prof. Fitts sees a
great future in the horse industry
and especially recommends the de
velopment of good draft horses.
The mortgage lifter of Eastern
Oregon the hog had the place of
honor on the second day's program.

As with all other classes of Btock,
Prof. Fitts recommends the secur
ing of good breeding stock and es
pecially good sires. In this way a
herd may be built up by the man of
small means cheaply and economi
cally. The importance of growing
and finishing the hog ready for
market by the time he is from six
to eight months of age was fully
brought out Hogs must be keDt
clean and free from lice. Putting
some of the common sheep dips in
the' wallowing places for the hogs
was advised as a good means of
controlling lice.
College methods of feeding hogs
were shown by Prof. Fitts and
pasturing systems which would
keep the hogs on pasture through
the spring and summer were de
veloped by Prof. Hyslop. Alfalfa
followed by rape and field peas and
this followed by corn in the warmer
sections of the county will, with a
little grain and plenty of water,
grow and finish the hog very nicely
and the harvest cost of the crop is
avoided. Clover may be used in
stead of alfalfa and barley too is a
good crop to hog off.
Sheep for the range and for the
small farm came in for discussion,
and their value as users of waste
material was fully shown. The
breeding up of the flocks by means
of good rams was especially em
phasized. The lecture on milk testing given
by Prof. Pratt of the Crook County
High School was well attended and
a good deal of interest evidenced by
those attending in learning the pro
ductiveness of their cows. The
class was so large that it had 'to be
divided and instead of the two days'
work scheduled the whole week will
be devoted to this work. Arrange
ments between Prof. Pratt and
some of the dairymen were made,
where he is to test their cows once
each month in consideration of
their keeping an accurate record of
the production of each cow. In this
way these dairy farmers will be
able to find out just which cows are
paying them a profit and which ones
are "boarders." Prof. Pratt will
secure a large number of figures
upon which he can use in his inves
tigation and in teaching the subject
of dairying to the students in the
Agricultural department.
The first Short Course of Crook
county has started out well and the
attendance is excellent considering
the good farming weather prevail
ing now. The instructors from the
Oregon Agricultural College are
very enthusiastic over the prospects
and hearty in their praise of the ef
forts of the High School and Com
mercial Club in getting the work
successfully started.
That the Short Course will be a
permanent thing in the county is
practically assured since several
ambitious towns are already trying
to land the Short Course for next
year.

Satisfying a Customer
Carried to an Extreme
By HOLLAND.
A WOMAN who bought a
Areas which the found
was not Just what she want
ed went with it to one of the
biggest store In the world
and eald It did not suit her.
She wanted her money back,
but explained that she had
lost the sales slip. The sum
she claimed was given to her.
Two days later she fonnd
the sales slip and discovered
that she had not bought the
dress at the store to which
she had taken It, but had
bought it at a rival establish
ment She went to the store
and explained.
"We knew you had not
bought the dress here," ex
plained the manager, "but
you were palpably dissatis
fied with It, and our aim is to
satisfy all our customers. If
we have impressed on your
mind the fact that we are
more than fair we are satis
fled. We covet nothing more
than such a reputation as we
are sure you will give us."
Many will think that this
was carrying fairness too far.
Terbaps It was, but it was
done by the greatest retail
merchant of this age, one
whose name is known wher
ever the English language is
spoken and whose expendi
tures for advertising run up
to a million dollars a year.

that satisfied customers are

C. C. H. S. NOTES
Last Wednesday was the biggest
day yet h t'i history of Crook
County High School. It was a
real Med Letter Day, and the good
that will come from it cannot ha
estimated. The faculty and stu
dents who love this young college
of Central Oregon are in a glow ol
rejoicing because the Prineville
Commercial Club, as an organiza
tion, visited the school as itmpeo
tori and found out from actual
observation what work the school
is doing. After visiting the cWoes
and departments the club members
met the faculty and students in
the Assembly Hull, and then for
the first time in the hito:y of the
two organizations became acquaint
ed as units the body of active, keen
business men and the school that
is Crook County's biggeit asset The
men of today said some good things
to the men of tomorrow told them
to be good fellows and get their
lesions, bocause a little later the
lessons would mean success for
them. They were Paineville'i best
type, those men who gathered with
the youth of their county last Wed
nesday afternoon, and young Crook
county was very proud of thm.
None will forget the Red Letter
Pay of Crook County High.
The members of the Domestic
Science Department of Crook
County High School are rejoicing
at the rare treat from Fortune's
own hands this week. Prineville's
progressive, generous-hearted Com
mercial Club vUited them, and
finding that they are in need of a
large coffee pot took up a collec
tion for the purpose of buying them
one. The coffee pot has been or
dered and the girls but decided
that the first service from the much
needed utensil will be a "cup of
coffee like mother used to make"
for eacb member of the Commer
cial Club.
(!. W. Noble made the girls from
the Domestic Science Class very
happy this week by presenting
them with a fine large alumnium
roaster, an article much needed.
Heretofore the class has had to
borrow, which isn't good domestic
doctrine.

and it a permanent organization of
the school. Twice the young peo

shows work and understanding ot
voice culture on the part of the
instructors and pupils.
