ORIGIN OF SCIENTIFIC FARMING
In these days, when science is mak
ing two blades of grass grow where
only one grew before, a word as to
the beginning of the new departure in
farming may be timely. The begin
ning may be said to date from half a
century ago. It is just fifty years
since Lincoln signed the bill which
has established agricultural colleges
in every one of the forty-eight states.
It set apart 10,000,000 acres of the
public lands ,to be divided among the
states in proportion to their repre

UR SOCIAL UNREST IS ONLY ON THE SURFACE, AND IT
IS NO DEEPER ABROAD. THERE IS NO FUNDAMENTAL
DISTURBANCE OF THE SOCIAL ELEMENTS HERE OR IN
EUROPE.
H H It
There is no doubt that tjje people, the common people farmers
and workers in Europe are better employees and better off materially
than a generation ago. CONDITIONS OF LIFE AEE VASTLY
BETTER
It 13 only by measurement with the standards of physical comforts
which have become everyday necessities in this country that there if
any apparent lack of the things that make life comfortable.
There is no sign in the temper of the people of Europe that marks
real social unrest. The development of transportation, the returning
emigrant with bis new ideas, the passing of landlordism and other fac
tors which have done away with the old prerogatives of class have
killed the attitude of servility in the working classes. Consequently
there is a transition state, one of questioning and experiment.
it
BUT THIS CONDITION CALL IT UNREST, IF YOU WILL IS
NOT SOCIAL FERMENTj IT IS AN ADJUSTMENT. THERE IS NO
VITAL DISCONTENT. THE TEMPER OF THE PEOPLE IS NOT
THAT OF INSURGENCY. THERE IS TOO MUCH PROSPERITY FOR
REAL UPHEAVAL. ,
sentation in Congress. This was made
the basis of many of the state uni
versities, especially in the West,
where agriculture according to the
most improved scientifiv methods is
one of the great fields of study, but
where a liberal education on all lines
is obtained.
At first this law was called the Mor
rill act, because Justice S. Morrill was
its author. As the New Hampshire
statesman was busy in many spheres
however, and had his name promi
nently associated with several other
laws of large consequence, it -was nec
essary to give it a more specific term
and it was called the land grant stat
ute, the agricultural colleges act and
other names which were more or less
distinctive. It was one of the many
measures by which the government
has made agriculture by far the larg
est activity in its own sphere of any
known to the world. No other coun
try closely approaches the United
States in the volume and the variety
of its farming, stock raising and fruit
growing interests. For several , years
past the annual product of the coun
try's farms and plantations has ex
ceeded $8,000,000,000.
The agricultural college act follow
ed a few weeks after the free homes
law was signed. Thus June and July
1862, were landmarks in the develop
ment of American farming. The pro
gress in this vast field which has
been made in this half a century is
stupedous. Prom the beginning the
government has born e a prominent
part in this development. It created
the Department of Agriculture in
1889, with its head a member of the
cabinet. The work of this department
and of the agricultural experiment
stations costs the government several
millions of dollars annually, but this
outlay much more than pays for it
self. In 1902 the national irrigation
act was passed as a supplement to
the free homes law of 1862, and und
er it millions of acres of Anert, or
semi-desert are being transformed in
to the most productive lands in' the
world. While much improvement in
American farming is still to be made,
some thing along this line has already
been accomplished, for the yield per
acre, as compared with forty years
ago, has increased 20 per cent for cot
ton, 25 per cent for corn and 50 per
cent for wheat.

Lesson No. 13. When Is a
GREATER WEST SIDE
Citizens of Bolton, Sunset and Wil
lamette, in fact "the entire West Side
are awake to tneir possibilities and
claim they are not dreaming when.
they think the West Sine is the com- i
ing side. They are making their
schools more inviting, adding to their
studies manual training, agriculture
and horticulture. Willamette has just
completed a large addition to its "al
ready commodious school house and ;
now has a building of which it may
be proud.
The West Side generally claims to
have conditions better than elsewhere
in this section. A push club, will be
formed a week hence, Wednesday,
August 14 being the date set. It is
claimed there will be 100 members at
the start.
Oregon City may have no fears.
Competition is the life of trade. With
a growing city on the West Side, Ore
gon City has a greater future and all
should aid in the development by
boosting not only the West Side but
Oregon City proper as well.
FORUM OF THE PEOPLE
WOULD IMPROVE MORALS
Morning Enterprise, to the Editor:
Will you allow me a small space in
your valuable paper to speak in the
the interest of decency. Our com
munity has been shocked considerab
ly at different times this summer by
parties coming from town and acting
very immorally. The climax came when
last Saturday evening, a crowd of
boys and girls came from Portland
out to the park. The girls (three of
them) were dressed in men's clothes
The time was, and not long ago that
such girls would have been arrested
and punished. Well, they and their
comrads had a high old time all right
A party coming across the Clear
Creek bridge after midnight saw
them coming up out of the water and
cutting antics. The girls Bung around
all day Sunday in the same suits and
just tried to show off how mannish
and ugly they could act. Now, good
people isn't it time there should be
something done to keep such people
away.
I heard they came from Portland and
Oregon City. Remember, dear young
people when you lose your good name
you lose your all. A wise man of old
said a good name was better than
riches.

GARY GIVES COUNTY
TEACHERS ADVICE
County School Superintendent
Gary has addressed the following let
ter to the teachers of the county
schools:
You will soon take up your work for
another year. Much of your success
will depend upon the start you make.
You should familiarize yourself with
the conditions surrounding your
school and neighborhood. Do not give
much heed to the stories you hear
about the "bad" boys in the school.
If you are a true teacher the chances
are that the so-called "b'ad" boy will
not materialize. If you are a strang
er do not wait until the first day of
school but go early and get your hear
ings. If you are from some other state
you should send for a course of study
and plan your work according to it.
You will be required to follow the
course of study and will find the work
embarrassing if you know nothing
about it. Teachers from other gtates
sometimes fail because they do- not,
or will not, adapt their work to har
monize with our system.
Many teachers are weak in primary
methods. Much has been said at in
stitutes and elsewhere about thi?
work but we still find little children
in the rural schools being taught by
old antequdted methods, or very im
perfectly taught by new methods, or
what is most deplorable, not being
taught at all. In order that teachers
may strengthen themselves in this
work and he able to start their year's
work aright, the County Educational
Board has arranged to have Miss Vin
nie Hewitt, Supervisor for the iflrst
District, conduct a school of primary
methods in Oregon City during the
first week in September. Miss, Hewitt
is an excellent primary teacher of
much training and practice. She has
an abundance of material, and will
teach you how to make many simple
things to use in the work. This school
will be free to all teachers of the
county.
You will be pleased to hear that our
Annual Institute will be held during
the first three days of Thanksgiving
week. You will thus have onry one
vacation instead of two as in former
years.
The outlook has never before been
so good for the schools of Clackamas
County. The teaching force is, I
think, much stronger than ever be
fore. There is an excellent spirit
among school officers. So many of
them have said this year "We want a
good teacher. If we can get the kind
we want we are willing to pay well
for her." If you desire to secure and
hold a good position among teachers,
it behooves you to be up and doing.
The teacher without professional spir
it, ambition and a love for the work
will before long be unable to secure a
position.

TO REDUCE PRICES
PORTLAND, Aug. 6, (Special.)
Believing that the tariff, the trusts
and the other bogies that are brought
up whenever the increased cost of
living is mentioned, have been made
the goats long enough, E. C. Hale,
general manager of the American
Lumberman, of Chicago, makes the
declaration that the high prices of
necessities are due chiefly to the un
even distribution of people as between
the farms and the cities. While not
altogether new, Mr. Hale's contention
approaches the subject from a slight
ly different angle from that usually
presented.
Mr. Hale came to the Northwest- to
address a convention of teachers. He
is considered an authority on matters
of economics and under his direction
the American Lumberman is conduct
ing a campaign for community im
provement. He explains that the ele
ments of.ociety are so closely related
to each other that the various com
munities, both cities and country,
must be mutually properous if no ill
effects are to result.
Since 1860, he finds that the popula
tion has been gradually drifting from
the country into the large cities, with
a result that the production of food
stuffs has greatly decreased in pro
portion to consumption. It is this
constantly rising ratio of consumer!;
over producers that Mr. Hale explains
is causing all the trouble.
"I understand good work is being
done in Oregon along the line of mak
ing the farm attractive to the young,"
said Mr. Hale, "and T am glad of it,
because you have a state with wond
erful resources open for extensive de
velopment. There should .be the
strongest cp-operation between the
small towns and the large city, for
upon the extent of such co-operation
will depend the prosperity of both."
A Silent Land.
In the rainless interior of Australia
there is a silence of the grave. This
deathlike silence has a peculiarly de
pressing effect. If two men are camp
ed and one of them goes to a distant
township to get provisions while the
other remains behind to look after the
camp, the man who is to remain says
to his mate in forcible gold fields lan
guage: "Now. Bill, don't you be long
away. You know what kind of a
place this is to live in by yourself."
If his mate is away for two or three
days the silence gets upon the man's
nerves, and in the end he shouts in or
der to make a noise, and then he is
afraid of the sound of his own voice.
Willing to Wait
"I can't pay this bill Just now. You
will have to wait a little for the
money "
"All right, sir," cheerfully responded
the hoy as he seated himself and un
folder! a co'py of the morning paper
"Them's the orders of the gnv'nor."
"Wh.it are the orders of the guV
norV" demanded the centleraan sternly
"Pm'to wait for the money."

MAMMOTH APPLE IS
GROWN BV SWAFFORD
An apple plucked from a tree in his
yard Tuesday by J. L. Swafford, of
Eighth and Madison streets, would
provide breakfast fruit for a family of
six. It is of the Biting Heimer spe
cies, and is as large as a medium size
cantalope. It weighs one and three
fourths, pounds, is fourten and one
half inches in circumference and five
inches in diameter. The tree upon
which it was grown is eight years of
age. This variety of apple is fine for
cooking purposes, and when ripe the
fruit is a very beautiful red. M.r.
Swafford says there probably will be
no larger apples grown in the county
this year than the one grown in his
yard.
Aluminium.
Aluminium has been known since the
days of Pliny to be a component part
of the earth s crust and the basic met
al of all clays. Though iron is more
common, aluminium is the most abun
dant metal the earth yields. Entering
into the composition of rocks, it is
found in the ruby, the sapphire, the to
