The “ L ittle Missionary Socie­
ty,” and their teacher, Mrs.
Vera Nelson, were delightfully
entertained after school Friday
afternoon by Mrs. Liter, pastor
of the Friends church at Rex.
The parsonge was beautifully
decorated w ith wild flowers and
Oregon grape. A missionary
contest was given.
The prizes
awarded the victors,
Edith
Sanderman and Roth Kane,
were books on tbe life o f Christ.
Games were played, and all en­
joyed the pictures, Souvenirs and
anecdotes o f Alaska and India.
An inviting lunch was served
and tbe girls departed knowing
that Mrs. L iter had not for­
gotten her girlhood, by the w ay
she entertained those o f this day.
Tbe “ L ittle Missionaries” are
a band o f school girls, organized
to do good in tbeir own neigh­
borhood. They raised their
funds by selling candy, and
many bouquets of flowers and
baskets o f fruit have found tbeir

this neighborhood this last win­
ter.
Although this society is in it ’s
youth, it is a w orthy mission,
and much praise is doe tbe little
workers.

This in addition to some seed
corn sold brought Mr.. Scofield
$700 for Iris 9 acres o f corn last
year.
In onr adjoining county o f
Marion, a
man grew 1000
bushels o f corn on 10 acres in
1915. His quality was eqnal t o
bfe quantity as the records show
that he won first prize a t one o f
the big eastern corn shows.
Farther evidence as to yields
can be found, consulting the
government year book tor 1914
which shows that the ten yea r
average yields for the corn belt
states are as follow s: Missouri,
28.1; Nebraska, 25.3; Kansas,
19.9; Oklahoma, 19.1; Arkansas,
19.8; Iow a, 34.9. Oregon’s ten
year average is 28.1, and we
have only begun to grow corn.
Careful estimates for last year’s
crop in the W illamette valley
places the average at 50 bushels.
The profit side o f the corn crop
itself is dbly one o f several rea­
sons why Yamhill county farm­
ers should grow corn. Corn o r
some cultivated crop is essential
to a proper rotation o f crops.
In all the older agricultural
counties it has been found neces­
sary to include in the rotation
one cultivated crop and one
leguminous crop.
We need not, however, go be­
yond the border o f Yamhill coun­
ty for proof o f the value o f suclr
a rotation. There are several
fields of fall sown grain grow ing
now on ground that was in corn
last year. In every instance the
grain looks much better at this
date than adjoining fields where
no cultivated crop was grown.
