Alderumu, Superintendent of Public Instruction, asking htm what thejr organttatlon could do to co-operato with the schools In helping to develop the re sources of Oregon, and to arouso an Interest among the young people In scientific farming. Tho Stato Superintendent replied by outlining a plan of contests to be held In each county, the local prlxo winners to bring their exhibits to tho Stato Pair for n final contest. A director or supervisor was needed to organizo tho work and tho bankers approving tho plan, offered to furnish Sowo of the Valuable SuuucMlons Made by Agricultural Kdmator.

These bulletins have been distributed throughout the schools so that a copy will reach every child in the work. Prom the rejorts or tbo field director, Mr. Calvin C. Thomason, it Is estimated there will bo CO, 000 children preparing ex exhlblu for the school fairs. Crook, Grant, Yamhill, Marion and Lane counties have been holding children's fairs for a number of years and the great success that theso counties have bad proved beyond a doubt that our undertaking Is sure to have good results. Tho greatest good in the whole enterprise is the prldo it will creato among the children of being able actually to do practical work. Practical "Work Landed. Little girls should be proud of tho fact that they can wash dishes, bake bread, and make dresses, or of tbo outdoor work they can do, such as gardening and raising t chickens. Hoys should he proud of their pro ductions, whether things made by band or products grown in the field. The attitude of society in general has been wrong in regard to such work. People in even the smallest towns have assumed an air of su-l perlorlty over the country folk. This nttltudo in some moasuro is passing away, but more needs to bo done; and I know of no better wa'y than to educate the children so they will consider it one of the greatest honors to be able to ralso a cholco flock of jwultry, to grow a good home garden or to raise a fine calf or pig, rvo crass ami turnlim that nniiin nf suits will ho. hut cut It ml-o.i with a firm seed bod.
