GOOD CROP O F
LATE PEACHES
Thirty-seveu bushels of late
Crawford peaches were picked
from three trees ou L. 1). S car­
brough’s ranch, one mile south of
Creswell last week, says the
Chronicle. T he tree* from which
this fruit was picked were not
selected to m ake this showiug, but
were average trees iu the orchard.
T he early Crawfords yielded near­
ly in the same proportion.
A m om ent's figuring would show
w hat this would average tier acre.
These .17 bushels were sold for $1.-
50 per bushel here in Creswell.
T he average yield per tree was 12
bushels. W ith 1<X> trees to the
acre one acre of peaches would
bring $1800. H ad these peaches
been boxed in 20-pound boxes and
sold at $1 per box, each bushel
would have brought the grower
$2..50.
From these figures will be seen
the profit in growing fruit iu this
section. High authorities on hor­
ticulture prouounce the soil around
Creswell the best adapted for
peach culture of any in the state.
This, together with the excellent
fruit now raised here, will cause
m auy peach orchards to be set out
in this locality within the next two
or three years.

All IMPERSONAL DISCUSSION OF THE ADEQUACY OF
THE HIGH SCHOOL AS APPUES TO COTTAGE GROVE
If we were to build a modern
structure would we begin at the
top and build down to the founda­
tion? If we are going to educate
and develope our young men and
youug women for the higher school
of life, can we omit any of the
foundation w hich grasps, holds
and promotes their health, their in
tellect, flieir citizenship, and their
m orality. Ho we give them the
best we can in sanitary, physical,
moral equipm ent an d instruction
aside from th e selected grind of
our selected courses. Hoes our
business, social, or private interest
blind us to the essentials and
necessities of our sons and d au g h ­
ters— are we sane enough to admit
truth.
A ie our buildings properly v en t­
ilated, sanitary, fire-proof and well
equipped; are the departm ents of
classics and science complete in
modern forms of safety, comfort
and facilities for capable in stru ct­
ion? H ave we m ade all possible
effort to produce deep interest, u n ­
derstanding an d pride in our most
im portant of institutions— the High
school?

th a t they have held the banner for

to be proud of.

or home. Ask any boy, not the
manly lad, but any boy, which
does he prefer, care for, an d the
answer is evident, he has no
choice. T h e lahratory where he

ferm ent the foundations of his
future trade, the gym floor and
swimming jiool and field where he
can perfect and protect his' ele­
m ents of manhood, Wis clean

Is it any wonder our clMldren
grow to believe our views hy pro-
critical when we become so en ­
grossed in pursuit of the alm ighty
dollar, or are forgiven our past,
present or future sins in even deep
and sincere church work, so serene
iu our saved state as to allow our
children and their homes to learn
by the experience we ^ u e just
em erging from and some of us
none too well.
We are far too liable to overlook
and underestim ate the future by
being fo u teu t with the present, or
comparison with the past, far to
ready to place censure or p u n ish ­
ment on those precious shoulders,
when it belongs on ours. Is it
right to h andicap comiielent Teach­
ers with cramped or defective
equipm ent and expect a resultant
success? Is it right to confine an
intelligent boy or girl within n a r­
row and immoral environm ents
an d expect somehow to produce a
broad-m inded model of civiliza­
tion?
O ur dem ands—the rights of our
children are not unreasonable—the
hygeuic class rocc's, well ventilât'
ed, lighted and futed in modern
com fort and usuage, w ith sufficient
ex its an d protections to preclude
another costly Colliuwood, Ohio
disaster by fire, th at has filled
some three hundred homes with
life sorrow. W ith
home and
school, parent and teacher, nature
an d science all w orking iu h a r­
mony, would not the returns in
happy lives be a higher percentage
th a n gold. Likewise in every
school and grade it is possible to
treat an d deal with every boy aud
girl hum anly, th a t each be given
such bodily train in g aud in stru ct­
ion as is adapted to their strength,
as the intellectual study is univer­
salized aud adapted to their m ental
capacity. Games, exercises au d
intelligent instruction, work with
tools, or domestic a rt and science,
practical lessons, all th a t tends to
bring m ental aud physical powers
into a fine healthy balance.

W e say our schools, our b u ild ­

their development, their minds,

merely pay the bill—no, not all of

T he success of an orchard is dependent upon the
judgm ent displayed in the selection of varieties—
the profit paying kind. A nd profit in fruit growing
means quality.
Q uality and color are the two
things that the great fruit consum ing public pay
their money for. T h a t’s certain—you ca n ’t deny it.
Increase your orchard profits—do it by planting
the splendid tested special sorts of Stark T rees. Begin
n o w —d on’t wait until next season. P lant now
and be that m uch nearer a big profit paying crop
than you would be by waiting 6 m onths or a year.
H ere is a brief list of varieties highly adapted
to western conditions— ihe kind that will make a
model orchard which will yield profitable returns.

Salt L ake paper says:
Dr. T . B. Beatty, secretary of
the state board of health, states
th at the board has begun the tub-
ercline test on all dairy cows in
the state, iu accordance with the
bill passed by the last legislature
to prevent tuberculosis am ong
diary anim als. T he work is to lie
done by tktS bureau of anim al in­
dustry. I)r. Hrumhall, of W ash­
ington, D. C ., is here to supervise
the work, but the m atrer will be
under the direct charge of the stale
board of health.
T he goverment furnishes free to
the state the tuberculine for the
purpose of inoculation and Dr.
Beatly states that the test is almost
infallible. Utah is one of the four
states in the union th at has been
supplied by the govem ent with the
tuberculine gratis.
T he new state law requires every
cow in the state to be tested. It
also provides that no cow shall
come into the state w ithout having a
certificate th a t it is free from tu ­
berculosis. In the event of any
anim al being found infected with
the disease, the sale of the milk
from th a t cow will be stopped and
the anim al coudem ued. T he work
will begin first in the dairies of
Salt L ake county, and then be e x ­
tended to th e other counties of the
state. T h e u n d ertak in g is a large
one and will occupy considerable
time, but it is hoped th at great ben-
ifits will result from the tests.
