One of the strong features of tho demonstration j work Is that It is co-operative, and In the boys' work wo frequently find the other vJtnl forces of the county the superintendent of public education, the teachers, the business men. the news papers and the parents all giving aid nnd support. "In Holmes county, Miss., In 1909 our boys' corn clubs produced crops averaging seventy-six bushels of corn per acre. Tho corn grown by their fa-tbers-and tho neighbors averaged about plxteen bushels. This, with the results In other counties, was sufficient to arouse tho state of Mississippi and cre ate an overwhelming public sentiment In our favor. From a total enrollment of 10,543 during that year the move ment grew until tho year 1910 record ed an enrollment in tho various states of 40,225 boys. "Wo have some cases where the fcoys of ouo county nro challenging tho toys of another county to a contest hr corn production. "One of our requirements, which has hnd a very beneficial effect, Is that the proceeds, of the acre shall go to the boy. "Wo havo also a system which will provo equally effective for the girls of tho rural schools, so that tho whole echool can bo Instructed In a practical way." A small plot of rich land pro duces more crop than a larger plot of poor lan'l and costs less in taxes. A.C. SANFORD, Sec. and Treas. HOME RULE LAW IS CONFUSING Decision in Joseph Case Raises Question OOESN'T AFFECT MADRAS Judge Knowles Holds That City Must Hold lilectlon Before Issuing License. Just what is the status of the City of Madras in regard to the issuance of local liquor licenses is a question that is now puzzling the authorities here, since the decision handed down by Judge Knowles in the circuit court at Wallowa, in the Joseph local op tion case. Judge Knowles hold3 that the wording of the so-called "Home Rule" amendment is faulty, and declares that the amendment does not, in all prob ability, convey the meaning that it was intended to. He declares that the only reasonable con struction that can be placed on the constitutional amendment is that where the local option law in force in a county by a vote of the people of that county, town3 and incorporated cities do not have the power to license the sale of intoxicating liquors with in their corporate limits, with out first having taken a vote on the question. For the reason that the county of Wallowa was "dry" at the time and the town of Joseph had not held an election on the liquor issue, Judge Knowles holds that the city authorities had no right to issue the licenses. However, so far as can be de termined, the ruling in this case will have no effect whatever upon the question in Madras, for at the last election Crook county as a whole voted "wet" and Madras precinct did likewise, although there are in this county several dry precincts. The Joseph case has been appealed to the supreme court and it is expected that a decision of that body will be rendered sometime in the month of May. There appears to be several points that need deci sions to give the general public the real meaning of the "Home Rule" amendment, as there are points which seemingly conflict with the general local option laws now in effect in this state. Build Office Quarters William Esselstyn, manager of the yards of the Turr.-a-Lumbei company at Madras, has had con structed a lumber shed and office building at the yards, and ex pects his wife and son to join here this week from Walla Wal la, provisions having been made for them to reside in the office building. Mr. Esselstyn states that the Tum-a-Lum company will put in about 250,000 feet of lumber in the local yard and will also handle shingles, lime and cement, and possibly a little later, bricK. i Si fi !.' i " i f
