their education farther than graduation from either of its four

complete preparation for entrance in college.
In equipment the high school is well prepared to carry on the
work as appended below. It possesses a splednid library of over
a thousand volume of reference work. The physical and chemical

Crook County High School. Graduates from the normal Course
will receive, without farther examination, a one year state teach

VARIETY OF COURSES
' In order that students and patrons ma- not feel that the school
requires subjects that are useless and unnecessary to their best
interests, the number of required subjects has been considerably
decreased and' the privilege of election on the part of the students
has been extended. In granting this privilege the faculty has
exercised care to offer no elective subjects that will lower the
standard of the school.

ing and debate will be offered. Any student .who desires to elect

receive two semeter credits each year for same. Provided, that no
student shall receive credit for the stuJy of music except by the
authority of the superintendent.

The student may elect either of thesix courses. A diploma from
either will admit the bearer to the State University or to any
university in the state without examination.

receives a grade below 85 will be permitted to carry more than
four subjects at one time.

BUILDING SILOS
CENTRAL OREGON
Encouraged and Agisted by the
Officials of the O-W R & N
Railway Company
Lou 8. Smith, assistant agricul
turist for the O-W. R. &N.Co., is
in today, looking up the farmers
who are putting in silos, says the
Madras Pioneer. He. in eompany
with M. G. Pillette, local manager
of the Tum-A-Lum Lumber Co., and
a Pioneer representative, went to
the Young ranch, north of town,
where Mr, Young has built a silo.
Mr. Smith is getting data on the
number and styles of silos which are
being built or contemplated, in this
section, in the interest of the rail
road company, which is making a
strong effort to induce the farmers
of Oregon to raise more corn.
The raising of corn is a matter
which is being considered more and
more each year and the O-W. R. &
N. Co. holds corn shows every sea
son, offering prizes for the largest
yields on a given acerage, and for
the best, largest and most perfect
ears.
The trip to Mr. Young's place was
profitable and the time well spent.
Last year he built a silo 10x24 feet,
the pit being about ten feet in the
ground, having a capacity of 40 tons.
Mr. Young proves his progressiva
..ess by being the first farmer in
this section to build a silo, and while
it was his first experience with ene,
he says it has proven very satisfac
tory. He will start filling it with
corn next week.
C. V. Du'ing has also started
buildingasilo on his place near town,
and will use it this year for the first
time.
Mr. Young was much pleased with
Mr. Smith's visit, as he received
from him information of value in
regard to the proper rilling of the
silo, and treatment of the ensilage
to make the best feed. Pictures of
the silo were taken by Mr. Smith,
which will later appear in the Pioneer
Mr. Smith will leave this afternosn
for Hay Cr,eek. where the B. S. & L
Co is building two large silos for use
on their ranches.
