There is an enterprising family "living on and improving n home stead about four miles from Bend and one of the oldest children daily walks thnt distance to attend nhe town school. The desire that prompts a x4ycar-old girl to walk eight miles daily in order to get an -education deserves the reward that naturally comes to the diligent .-seeker alter learning. A seeker after a country better than the Bend region has returned here satisfied that this is one of the best spots on earth with the bright--est prospects for the future. Here after his time and money will be -spent in obtaining more and more -of the fertile upper Deschutes valley land. And he, by training and education is a man competent to judge. The man who has a little stick-to-itiveness and remains in this section is sure to reap a bounti ful reward in the years to come and not so very many years cither. Cvideuce of the increasing settle ment of this section is again seen in the move by residents in the Tumalo neighborhood to divide the Laidlaw school district and estab lish another school about 2 ) miles east of Tumalo postoffice. The "development of the upper Des- chutes valley is going iorward by steady and sure strides. And the Tlittle country school bouse is one of 4he best and most, promising char acteristics of American civilization. 'T,et them multiply rapidly. In getting its account last week Of the defeat of "Deschutes" coun ty in committee, The Bulletin got one point mixed a trifle, due to a phone that was working poorly at the time. The member of the committee who had the deciding tote was Mr. Hendricks, who was pledged to defeat the creation ot -amother new county, "Cascade" county. Mr. Hendricks was friendly to "Deschutes" and under stood the justness of our claims but deemed it unwise to possibly array Belknap and Mefryman against his fight iff opposition to "Cascade" county, by voting rn frfvor of re porting the Deschutes county bill from committee'. Tlius ft was (hat the vote stood three to two against reporting the bill. Every indication points to early construction on the Harriman lines through Central Oregon this spring. It also appears that the Oregon Trunk I,ine will soon re sume grading up the Deschutes river, thus allowing what is sup posed to be a Hill project an en trance into the rich timber and ir rigation districts of Central and Southern Oregon, In the mean- time what is the matter with the Corvallis & Eastern? Will it al low its rivals to pick the cream of the territory of this rich inland em pire, of will there be many busy construction crews thrown onto its survey as soon as the snow leaves the mountain passes? There is a feeliug m f he aft that long rieglect 'ed Central Oregon is about to come into its own as far5 as railroad trans portation is concerned. A Terso Paragraph. bilvtr Lake Orcgomau. I,ast week's Crook County Jour nal donates nearly two columns more of Its valuable space to the r'Rev," Homer M. Street in anoth er vain attempt to prove the Bend Bulletin a liar. If the Journal cannot find better argument against county division than that advanced by Street it would do better to fill the space occupied by him with patent medicine advertisements. When people want the truth they do not usuall look to a religious pervert for it Mud Slinging a Farce. Lai an Chronicle Another thlitt that was shown up to plainly at Snlctt wns the fact of the mud MiuKitiK of the ''rincvillc ring and press nt A. M. Drake and "lit townsitc of "end." When it came to n fiRht at SaIciii did thec people openly attack Mr, Drake and hi townsdte? No. They knew better than to do that, as this until was intended only for the "purpose of creatine strife among our own home people by attempting to work upon their prejudices. They could not come before that com mittee and say that this fight was only a towitsitc boom inaugurated by Mr. Drake for his own uain. Confronting them wns n petition signed by over 550 of the voters and tax payers or this pro posed nee county asking for its creation. Alo appeared the D. I. & P. Co. and two of the largest timber companies of the county asking the same. This was backed up by a population of io and a valuation of over two and one half mil lion dollars. Furthermore, the bill which was introduced was a fair one and contained no joker or load for any sec tion of the country. The expressed will of the people of Laidlaw wns de ferred to in the matter of the time of the temporary location of the county seat and this although a very large number of the people of the county favored the first plan of having the temporary location for a five year period adhered to. The writer can say and gladly does say that he worked in this fight by the side of Mr. Drake for three weeks and probably is as familiar with this situa tion as any one in the county and we found Mr. Drake one of the fairest and most zealous workers we liae ever had the pleasure of associating with. West ern (-rook county owes to Mr. Drake a lebt of gratitude for the wort he ha done in paving the way for the future establishment of Deschutes countv. UV say again, if the l'rineville crowd could make good why did they not attempt it before the committee and show up Drake in his true colors? because tnev knew the stuff they had been circulating was nothing but falsehood and that when they were confronted with the facts they could not meet the issue.

Ill the site of the seed piece plautcd the practice of different farmers varies widely, some advo cating a liberal use of seed and others claiming equally good re sults from small cuttings. To nid iu settling this question the state agricultural experiment stations have made numerous tests of seed pieces of different sizes. Taken separately these experiments show a certain amount of divergence in results, as might naturally be ex pected of tests conducted under widely different conditions. How ever, the majority of these tests, and especially the figures express ing the average results of alt avail able American experiments, may be safely taken as indications of what the farmer, under ordinary conditions, will generally, but not always, obtain. The effect of sire of seed pieces on yield ol crop will be treated yiclu 01 crop here under three distinct heads: (1) On the total yeild; (2) on the gross yield of salable potatoes, and (3) on the net yield of salable potatoes, i. c., after deducting the amount of seed planted. Kl'FKCT ON TOTAL YIKbD. In making up the averages be low it was found practicable to use the results of 19 tests of single eyes v. 2eye pieces, 4 tests of 3-cyc cut tings v. quarters, 17 comparisons of quarters and halves, 44 tests of halves v. whole potatoes. The re sults ol other experiments less completely reported were used for the purpose of corroboration. The following table shows the average results of these tests, in cluding potatoes of all sizes: Average differences per acre in total yields f rota different seed piece llu.

Thus fur we have considered only the tottil yield, i. c. large and .small potatoes, and have found that the total yield increases sonic what uniformly as the slie of I he seed piece is increased. Hence, if it is the aim simply to .secure an enormous yield without much re card to expense, in contests for prizes, etc., n lavish use of seed is justifiable. The farmer and gard ener, however, nave to consider other factors than the total yield, for a heavy crop may consist very largely of tubers too small for the market, or the great expenditure for seed when large pieces arc planted may more than counter balance the increased yield. Be fore noting the gross and net yields of large or salable tubers, result ing from seed pieces of different sires, we may consider the cause inducing a somewhat rcgtilnt in crease in total yield uccompatiyiug the use of larger seed pieces. Several causes operate to in crease the yield when huge seed pieces arc planted. The larger the cutting the greater generally the number of eves and the number of stalks. The young shoot, before it develops a strong .system of feed ing roots, is dependent for imm inent 011 the material stored up in the seed piece; hence the more abundant this supply the more vigorous the growth of the plant and this increased lux uriance is not confined to the early stages of growth, but in marked throughout the growing season. Investigation has .shown that sever ing the connection between the seed piece and the growing vine, even after the latter it thoroughly rooted, reduces the yield of pota toes. The danger of partial or entire failure resulting from1 an imperfect stand is nfttch greater with small cuttings than with large seed pieces. The small pieces with ex tensive cut surfaces arc liable to perish should the season be unfav orable, cither through excessive moisture or drought. The sprouts from small cuttings being weaker reach the surface with difficulty, or fail entirely on soil not properly prepared, 81'PjtCT ON GU0M1 8ALAIII.K VIKI.D.

KHl'KCT ON NUT .SALAllU CMOf. Before concluding that the large- est need pieces are the most profit able it becomes necessary to deduct Irom the crop the amount or need planted. It is plain that the in creased amount of seed potatoes required when larger piece arc used may more than counterbal ance the increase in yield obtained. The true teit of profit ii the market value of the crop produced, less the cost or seed plautcd. Should the quantity of peed pota toes used l)c subtracted from the total yield of large and small nolo toes or from the salable crop? If Hinaii or unsalable iced potatoes rue planted, then the former coifrsc is the proper one, but tduce large or medium tubers (cither entire or cut) ore generally selected for seed purpose, it seems best to subtract the seed froln the salable crop, thus ascertaining the net salable yield. The following table shows the actual average results for the net salable yield; that is, the crop after deducting the small potatoes and seed used: Acrnne difTcrcucc txjr aoru in net ml aide yield from different cil jiIbco llu, Pur cut, Kxccm from like of a-eyc plecci over i-eye pea. 15.11 Quarter over 3-cyc piece. 7.0 Halve oyer quarter , ilalvcn over whole tuber. . n.5 The amount of the net crop rose with the increase K salable in the size of the cultiiifi employed, but when the whole potato wns plant ed the figures declined on account of the large amount of seed potatoes which had to be deducted, The nbove figures indicate n very slight advantage In planting halves rather than quarters when the price of seed and of crop produced are the same. As n matter of fact, spring prices arc usually some what higher than fall prices, A high price for seed potatoes may make it profitable to plant smaller pieces (n, for example, quarters) than would be economical where seed and crop command the same price per bushel.
