This may not apply, however, to those of high school age, and for these we wish to say a word. We have had the good fortune to review, during the week, the high school catalogue and find therein a list of subects that are properly ar ranged and so balanced as to give any able, willing student a much bet ter education than the average man possesses today. Manuel training, business training In the commercial department, and other excellent courses for the boys, domestic science and art as wrll as normal and businss cralning for the girls affords an opportunity that the parents of all qualifed young people should heed and avail themselves of. Professor Evans, at the head of the Institution, Is one of the ablest, best qualified and most earnest in structors to be found anywhere, and the school is beter able than ever be fore to render good service for the taxpayers who should appreciate its ralue and make the best possible use fit AN IDEAL FARM For several years past cattlemen especially and other atockmen to les ser extent, have fed high priced hay to their stock, which has not been so high in price, at a loss In many in stances. Prior to that time hay waa aold by the producer to stock men at a price that was too low to afford the grower the profit to which he It rightfully entitled. The situation in this part of he State wtll awing in that direction ag ain within the coming three years, and the prices of hay and other feeds while they may never be so low as has ruled In the past, will and must seek a lower level than that main tained today. The answer is easy. The men who produce cattle and sheep must pro duce his own hay also, or a large part of It. The producer f large quantities of hay must have his own livestock, or a sufficient amount to take up a large part of his hay. 1 The result will be better for the farms, which suffer many times when pastured by men other than the own er, and which also suffer it the hay they produce is fed on other lands and the fertilizer left elswhere than where it belongs. Experience In the Powell Butte country has taught the farmers that the feeding of sheep on their ranches helps the fertility of the soil and Is worth considerable to the land. This is a problem that Is vital to the community, for every ton of hay must be turned into the finished pro duct, meat, and every head of live stock must be properly fed. RACE PROURAM FOR FAIR LIGHT HERE, YOC BIRDS Other Central Oregon towns are confronted with difficult problems re garding a landing field tor both home and transient flying men. ' Some of them have not enough lev el land free from piles of boulders and other obstructions that would fce difficult and expensive to remove, for a Ford to light upon, to say noth ing of anything that moves faster, but this is not true of Prineville. Any flyer will find a field on the Oregon Inter-State Fair grounds suit able to alight upon, or in any of the nearby alfalfa meadows. He will also find a civil people and one of the best communities he ever flew over.
