VEAK'S WORK OUTLINED SATURDAY
Work of L'lmoKl Imparlance Taken up
By Firmer
Representatives of about twelve
communities and representing as
many organizations met at the
County Court House in Hillsboro,
Saturday, Noy. 3. to organize a
County Agricultural Council
Paul V. Maris, State Leader of
County Agents, from the Oregon
Agricultural College, was present
and explained the organization
and duties of the council. He
also gave outlines of work that
might be taken up in the county.
After the plan was presented
and discussed a committee on
permanent organization was ap
pointed by the chairman, Wm.
Schulmerich.
The committee reported after
the noon recess, and the perma
nent organization was perfected,
electing officers as follows:
President, Wm. Schulmerich;
vice president. A. E. Wescott;
secretary-treasurer, Mrs. Clara
It. Beck.
The council will act as an ad
visory board to the County Agri
culturist and is composed of rep
resentatives from the seyeral
agricultural organizations in the
county. Communities not hav
ing organizations will also be
allowed representation according
to plans made by the Council at
this meeting.
Outlines of activities under
taken by other counties were
presented by Mr. Maris, and ad
ditional ones were named that
might be of interest in this
county. Members of the council
also nameda number of problems
that should receive consideration.
From the large number sug
gested the council decided on the
following as being of vital im
portance to the county and
should receive special considera
tion.
1 Field Crop Demonstrations.
This will include variety test3 of
crops decided upon by local com
mittees, fertilizer tests, crop
rotations, etc.
2 Canada Thistle Control.
The spread of this weed is be
coming so serious that special
work for its control was believed
necessary.
3 Dairy Cattle Feeding, The
dairymen in the council consid
ered that the high prices ot feed
raised new problems in feeding
which should receive special
study.
4 Dairy Show. In Keeping
with the dairy importance of the
county, plans for an educational
dairy show are to be perfected.
5 Monthly hxchange List
Farmers desiring seed, stock,
implements, etc., or having these
articles for sale will be requested
to list their wants with the
County Agriculturist who will
see to ihe publication of same.
6 Potato Seed Certification.
Washington County Seed Pota
toes Grown in Washington Coun
ty," will be undertaken in this
project, and to insure good qual
ity the seed must come up to the
standards of certification.
7 Mole and Gopher Control.
Organized effort is necessary to
rid the farms of these rodents,
it was decided by the Council.
8 Plant and Animal Diseases.
As the name indicates organized
effort will be made to control in
fectious plant and animal dis
eases prevalent in the county.
Other problems will also re
ceive consideration, but these in
the opinion of the council were
of special importance.
The need of the Government
to have organized Agriculture at
this time was recognized by the
council, and the plan to extend
County Agricultural work to all
Agricultural counties was en
dorsed. It was also.the opinion
of the Council that Washington
County would take no backward
step in this regard and that the
movement should receive unani
mous support.

several days before he quit his
crying.
The first real break of the dry
season came last Friday. Satur
day night witnessed a little show
er, put not enough to wet under
the dust crust. By nightfall,
Friday, Pluvius brought up his
reserves and there was a soak
ing rain. Strange enough the
first 24 hours of the precipitation
was "spotted." Farmers who
had sowed fall grain were glad
to ,,-get ' the moisture, and those
who yet have much plowing to
do were also giving thanks. So
far there is about 50 per cent, as
much fall sown grain as last
year's acreage.
