Another word of praise tor the
school in general and Mrs. Mulkey
in particular. Again she brought all
her eighth graders through with
'lying colors. Last year she took
very eighth grader through with
out a failure and this year with a
lass of 15 not one failed, which is
Indeed a record and more In two
subjects every pupil received a
grade of 100 and not one average
vas less than 93. It is as a result of
t'vo years of hard work, persistent
drilling and unlimited amount o
vork on the part of Mrs. Mulkey
that the class was able to achieve
uch unusual success. It is nothing
hoi t of misfortune that the Mul
:ejs are not to return next year.

It was thought that the dread a!
falfa weevil had been found on the
project. On Monday- the count
agent, Mr. Morse and Mr. Dpan
came down from Hermiston and ex
amined the alfalfa minutely and
found that what was thought to b"
weevils was an insect or worm which
fed on the aphis. There seems to bp
a greater amount of alfalfa than iis
ual this year. Everyone was delight
ed to hear this news because alfalfa
is the main crop in the country.
The Martys who were Boardnian
residents for a time, conducting the
cheese factory are asking those who
are willing to spII milk to sign tin
and if 2500 pounds daily are ob
tainablp thpy will return and open
the factory. There are enough rows
on the project so that this could be
done. It apparently lacks coopera
tion on the part of the people. It
would be of great assistance to the
farmers' wives as it eliminates
washing of separators and so many
milk utensils. It is hoped that
enough farmers will sign up to make
It possible for the factory to reopen.
