That has been tho farmer's plaint for years. In n few words It tells tho story of his greatest difficulty and tho greatest cause of his lack of sue cess. Recently wo mentioned tho plan of tho Portland Chamber of Com merco to raise a fund of $300,000 for tho purpose of advertising Ore gon. A part of the plan, also. Is to improve marketing methods In the state, In order that people who aro nttracted to Oregon, as well as those already here, may find success. Wise ly, the Portland leaders agree that there Is nothing to be gained by bringing In new people if they are not to succeed in their new under taking on the land. They agree that the state will bo all the more attrac tive If some assurance of success will attend reasonably Industrious and In telllgent effort. Tho situation of the farmer and tho plans now in their inception make all the more interesting n re cent publication of tho' Oregon Agri cultural college on cooperative mar keting which is undoubtedly one of the chief means of Improving condi tions. According to a circular ac companying the report, more than seven million dollars' worth of Ore gon farm products was sold coopera tively last year, q The total can be greatly added to, and it Is to be hoped that this new bulletin, which may be had on application to the county agent, will be given serious study by the farmers and those who are trying to help them Improve their condition. A NEW HIGH SCHOOL The tremendous increase in the number of children In district one as disclosed by the recent school cen sus points inevitably to the need for increased facilities for our pupils be fore the opening of the next fall term. Great as that Increase is, Ifjs reasonable to believe that it is only a fraction of the total to bo expected by that time. As yet only a small portion of the new population which Is expected with the opening of the new mills is here. If nearly 2,000 children of school age have been found as a result of this preliminary growth, what may be expected by an other year? Already the school board recog nizes its problem, as is made evident by its preliminary discussion of the subject. The plan which Is proposed that is, to give the present high school over to grade classes and to build a new high school, seems the best solution. It Is the same as the one suggested a year ago. It makes available for the grades a building which can be easily adapted to thalr use, and it gives opportunity of plan nlng a high school building In lino with the needs of the district not fully realized when the present build ing was planned. The school board, we say, Is cog nlzant of the situation. It is pos slble, however, that it may hesitate to act because of the district's flnan clal situation. This Is serious enough but Its existence cannot avoid the necessity for a new building. From now until the next fall term there Is none too much time to go through the necessary legal preliminaries, to sell bonds, to approve plans, let con tracts and build the new school. The .undertaking should be begun at once EARLY TEST DESIRABLE The compulsory school bill passed by the people at the election last month does not go Into effect until September 1, 1926, nearly four years from Its passage. Its constitutional ity has been questioned by many of the best lawyers In Oregon, and it is to be hoped for the welfare of the state that this question is promptly settled, The opponents of the measure may enjoin the governor from Issuing the proclamation on the completion of the official canvass of the vote de daring the law In effect, which would bring an immediate ruling from tho courts on tho constitutionality, or they may wait until tho law goes into effect four years hence, and then resort to injunction, or other court proceedings. It may not bo found possible to enjoin the governor from Issuing tho proclamation, as certain authorities 1 hod(that the action of the executive in proclaiming the law Is a political procedure, and. one that might cot detent tho net, even it it wero not dono. It such Is held to bo tho case, It will Indeed bo unfortunate for tho state, for It action Is delayed until tho law, becomes otfectlvo, mnuy poo plo now residents will move nway nnd man' who might, coma lvoro to reside bo dotcrred from coming on account of tho bill. It tho validity of the monsuro Is promptly settled, and tho law bo declared unconstitu tional, as It may he, this loss will bo nvortcd. Nothing will be gained by delay and much may be lost. There fore an early decision is desirable.

November 29, 1922, To tho Farmers of Deschutes County: I wish to state that a fow days ago I received an anonymous com munication, signed, An Plana tor tho coming year's work will bo explained by Cuuijty Agricul turist A. T. MacDonald Saturday evening nt a mooting of Eastern Star Grange, nt Grange Kail. These plans, MacDonald stated while In Ilond. aro not 'complexly formed, I ROAD FROM BURNS z.r"8,,",,:?:::, closed, indicated O. A. C. extension service. DONATION OF TOYS IS ASKED BY A. R. C. Taxpayer. It was cleverly worded and might make one believe that our having a county agent was too much of a tax for us to shoulder nt this timo. Howover, I feel suro that all ot us farmers are strongly in favor of keoplng n county agent, for the very simple reason that tlioso of us who worked here before we had one, real Izo what It has done for us In every way. What a good many of us do not realize Is what the county agents and tho farm bureaus aro accom pllshlng for the farmer through tho Federated' Farm Bureaus. According to an article In The World's 'Work ot last November, It is stated .that we now hnvo 15,000 farm bureaus, over ono million mem bers, and that through the county agent's offices' tho farmer has an or ganization which functions. This or ganization has Its representatives In Washington, D. C, and through their efforts has been able to establish tho farm bloc. It wo do away with tho county agents, what happens? We lose the one organization we have bad so far, and will have no repre sentation at tho national capital. It this should happen, it would mean that all the work would have to be dono over again. So I ask the support ot all agriculturists and oth ers who have the welfare of the farm er at heart, to use whatever Influence they may have to keep a county agent in Deschutes county.
