The How and
Of Good Corn Growing
iou S. Smith of the O.-W. R. & N.
Co., of Portland was in Princville
Friday and while here, The Journal
completed arrangements with him
for a supply of free seed corn for
the farmers of this locality. A ship
ment of seed in ten pound bags will
be received by this office during the
next two weeks. Tin's will be given
out to the farmers one bag to each
applicant until the supply is ex
hausted. The seed will be supplied absolute
ly without charge, to the farmers.
The railway people buy and pay for
the corn, and pay transportation
charges to Redmond. The Journal
pays the freight from Redmond to
Princville and attends to the distri
bution as agent for the railroad
company. The supply of seed in this
first shipment is limited, and it may
be that we will not be able to get
another lot sent in, although we
will do our best to get a ten pound
allotment for all who apply.
We will fill all orders in the order
in which they are received in this
office until the supply is exhausted.
If it is not convenient to come into
the office, 'phone us, either line, and
your name will be put on the list.
In a btxjklet issued by the O.-W.
railway which explains many
things about corn growing and its
value the following appears under
the head "Why Corn." The corn
plant will produce the largest
am. unit of feed per" acre of anyand ene-half to two inches ofhe
plant grown. It is the best and
cheapest feed to make a balanced
ration with alfalfa. It is one of
the best crops to-' grow in rotation
with grain and root crops.
It will profitably utilize a larger
measure of stable manure than any
other crop. When the ground is
properly prepared and the crop
cultivated as it should be, it is
more profitable and satisfactory in
cleaning a field of weeds than sum
mer folfow. It is the best, most
economical and satisfactory crop
to grow for a green feed to suple
ment dry pastures in July, August
and September. An acre of corn
will produce more ami better silage
THERE
Ml-..
affile rsl
Why
than any other crop. It has been
successfully and practically dem
onstrated that corn can be grown
in every county in the Pacific
Northwest,
These people consider also that
every farm should have its silo.
Writing on this their expert says:
. The silo is the best known place
to store the corn crop. It is to the
dairy farmer what the fruit jar is
to the housewife. A store place
for fresh food, which is available
for use at any time in just the
same condition as when it was
scaled up. It is a well known and
accepted fact that as a stimulant
to increase milk production, green
corn is unexcelled. It will make
more meat at less cost on a steer
or pig than any other feed.
The best silage is made from
corn cut when it is just well glazed,
immediately hauled to the silo, run
through a feed cutter the finer
the better and well packed in an
air-tight silo. No one would ever
expect fruit put in a cracked fruit
jar to keep well. To have a good
silage, the silo must be well built,
must rest on a solid foundation,
must be free from cracks, nail holes
and knot holes.
The storage room costs less per
ton than any other form in which
the season's crop can be stored, so
that there will be no waste in the
construction of a silo, the size and
shape should be such that from one
entire surface' could be fed off
each day.
Crop rotation is considered one
of the most important factors in
the prevention of plant diseases and
a checkage in the increase of such
insects as prey upon particular
plants.
Another well recognized fact is
that the only profitable and satis
factory method yet devised for the
continued maintenance increase of
other productive capacity of the
soil has been to make livestock a
considerable factor in the system
of farming, 'and the intelligent ap
plication of barnyard manure to
the land. '

Easter Sunday at Paulina.
A very large crowd attended an
Easter program at the schoolhouse.
A good program of singing and
recitations was had after which Mr.
Wood rendered a magnificant ora
tion, followed by a picnic dinner.
After dinner a ball game between
the married men and the single
men, resulted in a score of 3 to 1 in
favor of the married men. Rev
Harper delivered a sermon. A very
large attendance was reported.
Ward and Stark "In"
For Housebreaking
Clyde Ward and Garrett Stark
were arrested 6 miles north of
Antelope Tuesday by Sheriff Knox
. on a charge of housebreaking. The
' young men are charged with rob
bing the homestead cabin of John
Dobry which is located three miles
west of Prineville on the Redmond
road. When overhauled by the
sheriff, they had in their possession
a quantity of blankets and other
bedding, some canned goods and
other articles that tally well with
the things that were taken from
the Dobry cabin.
Sheriff Knox is confident that he
has the right men, but little is
known just how strong the evi
dence will be just yet.
CARD OF THANKS.
I wish to thank my many friends
for their kindness and assistance
during the sickness and death of
my beloved husband. Mrs. C. L.

Batoholor In New York Mail,
BOARD ELECTS
H.S. TEACHERS
Most of the Present Faculty
Will Return Next Year
Improvements Planned
The Agricultural Department ia
Eliminated Lack of Interest
Is the Cause .
H. C. Baughman, Superintendent,
J. W. Smith, mathematics and
science, E. E. Evans, commercial
department, Catherine V. Conway,
history and English, Evelyn L.
Walker, Normal department, Rob
ert R. Davis, manual training de
partment, and Nell Sykes, Domestic
science and art are the faculty for
the C. C. H. S. for the coming
year according to the results of a
meeting of the board held Tues
day. The agricultural department, as
a separate and distinct course, was
abolished. However, considerable
stress will be placed on this sub
ject in connection with the Normal
course, and as an elective in the
other courses.
The board proposes to install a
blacksmithing and metal working
department in the manual training
course and amply fit the boys to
do any ordinary blacksmith work
on the farm. The first two years
of the course includes training in
carpenter and wood work.
Excellent work has been done in
the domestic science and manual '
training departments and the pu
pils feel that these practical studies
will mean much to them when
they leave school and take up
their life work.
There will be no expenditures
made this year on the high school
buildings except possibly a few re
pairs. In speaking of the selection of
teachers, a member of the board
said that as there had been some
criticism of the school and for that
reason, the election of teachers had
been held over until the above date
to investigate the matter more
fully. The action of the board is
sufficient to show the conclusions
arrived at. The local high school
is without a peer in the state and
for efficiency is only equaled by
the Portland schools.
The fact that the championship
of the state in the debating arena
is but two from our school, is suffi
cient in' itself to" demonstrate that
the student body is of the highest
order, and that they have been well
and properly trained. When one
considers the fact that these various
victories have been won by our
teams on first the affirmative and
then the negative side of a debat
able question of public moment,
the completeness of their ability
and training is best realized.
'The 1915 Follies"
Great Success
The 1915 Follies given at the
Lyric Theater last Monday evening
by the Ladies' Glee Club was, with
out exception, the finest entertain
ment of its kind ever presented in
Prineville. In all, four numbers
were rendered by the Glee Club
proper, all of which were enthusi
astically received. The final one
being the waltz song from Faust,
which difficult selection was most
pleasingly interpreted under the
capable leadership of Miss Blanche
Williams, the Club's director.
