New Machine Given Practical Test In
Folk County Yard.
A hop-picking machine ia one of the
latest products of inventive genius.
Such a contrivance has been set up on
the ranch of E. C. Horst, near Eola,
Oregon, and does all that could, be ex
pected of it. It gathers the hops from
the vines, which are thrown into the
machine by the wagon load, and seg
regates the leaves from the berries.
In one day Mr. Horst, who is a large
grower of hops, picked 27,000 pounds
of hops on his ranch with this ma
chine. He believes, however, the ap
paratus will pick 60,000 pounds in a
single day when finally perfected. As
yet the owner does not consider the
machine finished, but Is experimenting
along lines calculated to reduce the
complicated parts of the mechanism.
A number of hop raisers In this
state have looked over the machine
and express themselves as confident
that it will make great changes in the
picking of hops, eliminating the har
vest hazzard, for It will work rain or
shine, and many have expressed a de
sire to have it set up in their yards.
Mr. Horst says: "As time, goes en,
we hope to simplify it to such an ex-,
tent that one of the machines will be
used on every hop ranch in Oregon. It
is slow work making these improve
ments, and It is expensive. The hops
picked by this machine are much
cleaner than, the highest class of hand
picked hops."
It is the belief of hop growers who
have seen the new machine at work
that within a very few years It will
have superceded the present hand
picking system almost entirely.

Grunt Angoras Capture All Prlws at
Virginia Stato Fair.
Readers of the Observer will recall
to mind that blooded Angora goats
shipped by U. S. Grant, of Dallas, to
H. G. Hunter, of Doswell, Virginia,
were awarded first premium at the
Virginia State Fair last year.
A few months ago,- Mr, Grant made
another shipment of goats to Virginia
and again the Oregon animals have
been pronounced superior to all others
by the Virginia Fair judges.
Writing to Mr. Grant from Doswell,
under date of October 12, Mr. Hunter
says:
The Angoras you sold me won
every prize they were entered n at
the Virginia State Fair. The yearling
buck won the Championship and the
kid buck was second. In the doe class,
the yearling won the Championship
and the two-year-old was second,
"In the 2 year old and over, M. S.
Valentine won with the buck you sold
him last year. I was second with a
Montana buck. The cup was won with
kids sired by the buck you sold Val
entine. "I have never seen so many first-
class goats at any Fair, I was offered
$100 for the kid buck at the Fair, so
you can see what people think of the
Grant goats. Next year I will give you
another order for goats" .

LEWISVILLE. Or., Oct. 19 A. An

The American High School is now
an established part of our educational
system. It has come to stay, and any
effort that tends to delay its perfect
organization in any community results
only In delaying the good work that
it might be doing for the present gen
eration. , Oregon is fortunate In two things In
the development of her high school
system. First, the course of study is
planned for the need . of the , high
schools. This work was done by the
State Superintendent and Principals
of the high schools, and the question
of college entrance requirements did
not enter in any way In forming the
course of study. For example, in the
first year of the high school, a half
year of office work in business meth
ods is required. Such work was not at
that time thought of as a college en
trance requirement, but now It is ac
cepted by the State University and at
least one other University of Oregon.
In other states the high school course
of study . is dictated by the Colleges
and Universities.
Second, as many pupils as finish the
eighth grade. Just that many complete
at least two and one half years of
high school work. This is proved by
the official reports (1909-1910) of the
county school superintendents' reports
now on file in the office of the Superin
tendent of Public Instruction. It Is es
timated that for the entire . United
States ninety per cent of the children
who finish the grade work do not enter
high schools. Oregon takes no part
in making up such a showing.
Now since our boys and girls are at
tending the high schools and since the
course of study Is planned so as to
give a finished education to those who
can go no further, no one county can
afford to neglect the work of making
more efficient its system of high
schools.
Other Counties' Experience.
In Lane' and Linn counties,- the
County High School Fund has been es
tablished. In each county the number
of high schools and their efficiency
has Increased rapidly since adopting
this plan. A letter addressed to the
County School Superintendent of ei
ther of these counties will procure in
formation as to the practical workings
of the law, and also as to the general
satisfaction of the people.
In as much as the parents are de
termined to send their - children
through the high schools, such schools
must be maintained, and It is no more
expensive to maintain the county high
school plan than any other. In fact, it
seems to be the most economical plan
yet devised.
The' plan briefly stated Is this: the
people at the general election vote
yea or no on the establishment of a
County High School- Fund. If the
measures carries the County Court
after a careful estimate levies a tax
for the maintenance of high schools. A
County High School Board Is organ
ized composed of the County Court, ,
the County Treasurer and the County
School Superintendent. This Board
contracts with each district In the
county that maintains a high school
up to the standard set by the State
Hoard of Education, as specified In
section '7, page 177, General Laws
1909, or section 261, Oregon School
Laws. The contract states the basis
of the distribution of. the county high
school fund shall be upon the average
dally attendance during the school
year.. The total amount of money
paid to any district during the school
year shall not be less than 140 per pu

j The property of the entire county la

a district wishes to maintain a high
school, it must furnish a good school
building and keep the school up to
the state standard. The distribution of
the fund is based upon the average
