WJiIlp In tho city Mr. Donegnn con sulted with J. W. McCullooh of tho (lrnt of McCullooh and Duncan who, handled the legal phases of tho for mation of the big district, which Is believed, by the way, to bo the largest single Irrigation district in Oregon. "There 1h no limit to the benefits that will lie derived by the irrigation of the Harney valley," said Mr. Don ,egan. "It will mean a great deal to Hums nnd to all thin region. Why, wo .will he able to raise twice an many cattle and sheop, for the range will not be used ao long when win tor feed CH" 06 flHd closo at hand," observed Mr. Douekan. "The district may ultimately ho In creased to 100,000 acre," snld Mr. McCullnch, "but the men forming tho district thought best to proceed to build the storage reservoir on the Sllvles und if It is found that sulllo lent water can ho stored, there Is plenty of land to put It on. "Thee district will he perhaps ono of tho least oxponnlvo ever built In Oregon. The entire project, It Is es timated, can ho built for less than $30 per acre, In fact, figures are pro seutod as low hn $20 cur acre.- On tario Argun.

At present there la nothing "doing" in that line as the weather Ja too sprlHff like, besides the greuad Is uncovered and the penta are not congregate around stack yarda. Should we have a show fall It will be then the right time to get busy. Mr, Horn Informs The Times-Herald that the county court baa decided to fur nish the poison to those who will use It when the proper time comes, there fore that part of tho matter need not Interfere with wholesale distribution of the poison when tho farmers get ready for tho work. It han been demonstrated beyond question that poisoning is effective bo If the rabbits are not destroyed It Is more or less our own fault by not taking advan tage of the chance. COOTIES!

AGRICULTURAL MAN CONFERS WITH COURT Ass't. . County Agent Leader rtfWHlSecure ' Permanent ih "WWker for County F, 14. Iinllnrdt Assistant County Agont Lciidor, wan In tho city Wed nesday, He enmo to confer with tho Couhtyc'QUrt In respoot to tho noloc tiqn of a suitable man fdr thin fluid to aetata advisor In the way of exten sion work. The court provided for the employment of such a man und Mr. Hnllurd came to have the neces sary paporn signed In order that ho might look for a aultuble man for the position. Iu explaining the duties or work of nH'ch a man Mr. Ballard stated that the state and government co operated with each county that took up such work and devote an equal amount toward defraying tho expen se. Harney county provided $2500 for this purpose In making up tho budget and therefore thin amount will he matched by the state, thUH giving $5000 to thin important work during the coming year. Tho extension worker takes up all agricultural problems of the county but works under the direction of a farm bureau, or commlttco of men selected from farmers and ntock men of tho county, who formulnto tho plans. For Instance Just at present the most Important work In that lino would bo the eradication of pests. Thin would not prevent his consulting with individuals and communities on agriculture and kindred problems. Later he would bo valuable In con nection with irrigation problems, In assisting In the working out of pro blems under the syetom Inaugurated when the reservoir Is constructed and "reconstruction" begins In tho method of using wttlor. However that might he, tho proposed ngent will work under the supervision of local men und whatever Is done to ward development or demonstration will ho sanctioned hy this committee. The Times-Herald hh contended for such an employo of tho county for several yearn, In fact ever since the plan wan first startud aud when Mr. Hhattuck wan acting as county agent. ThU county would be far to the good had It continued with the plan when It first aatrted. At any rate, that w the opinion of men who observe what haa been accomplished in other coun ties. Mr. Ballard stated while convers ing with a representative of this paper Wednesday, that he was on the "lookout" (or a man for thin field, but that (hey were hard to find. We want one suited to this part of the country. L. R. Brolthaupt was the man for tho place, but he, han been "gobbled up" by Malheur coun ty. If we can have aa good a man We will get our money's worth and have no complaint, O' GET COMMUNITY NURSE FROM EASTERN SCHOOL Mrs. Sadie Orr-Dunbar of tho Ore gon Antl-Tubertulosln Association with headquarters In Portland In at present In Washington, D.

Mrs; Orr-Dunbar is expect ed to bring a nurse with her on her return and in tho meantime planB are being formulated for appointment of a public health nursing board whose duty it will be to outline the program on which the nurse will proceed. It is to be regretted that this work could not have been started sooner as much could have been 'done to ward the training of others in the county and active preparation for care of patients In the present epe-' demlo of Influenza.

Tim lil i? NtoehvnrdH of the country aro being used temporarily for short course nchools. Instruction of a very practical sort Is being conducted,. t namely, in tho host methods of, mnr- ketlng live stock. . One of tho first of these schools was conducted iu the National Stockyards at Bast St. Lou la III., a few weeks ago, and war such a success that tho "students" unau- imotisly passed resolutions urging that similar courses bo offered semi annually. The Bureau of Markets of tho U. S. nniinrtiiiont of Agriculture in co operation with tho National Feder ation of Live Stock Shipping Associ ations han been instrumental In pro moting this work. This Instruction Is given primarily for managers of live stock shipping: associations and others, directly In terested In shipping live stock. A course similar to that given at St. Louis han'keen conducted In Kannn.-i City. Arrangements have been miidn for repeating them in Omaha. Chi cago, Sioux City, Detroit, South St. Paul, nnd other cities. Morning and Afternoon Clasnc What wus dono at tho Kansas City meetings Is typical of the Instruction In other cities. The course covered, thrco days, "classes" opening at 8:30. The first "morning an Intensive studr waa made of the grade ef cattle and hogs largely marketed through ehlp iag aaeoclatlons. It was a b.lg sub ject to cover In a single morning, but the men were Intensely eager for the facta and there was no need' for ped agogical repetition, nor were tliora useless questions to take up tho timo of the Instructors, The I; 30 o'clock session might he called a class In applied bookkeeping.' an tho afternoon was glvon ovr to. accounting methods for shipping as sociations, Including much hblpful ex planation of tho methods of pro rat ing shipments. Thoro wan help also for managers; about tho regulations governing freight rules nnd .minimum weights of mlxrid shipments. Tho ...iu.. nf nnn uliltinor u.'f,u pltflfi wlifl ri. cently waa required to pay $30 moro freight on a mixed car or came ana pigs than ho would havo Incurred had he beon properly Informed on the regulations. It was pointed out that the presenco of a few calvos In this Hhlnmnnt of nlas renulred that the minimum weight for a car of cattlo he used as a basis of calculation instead of a lower minimum which is allowed for hogs. Notwithstanding, the total had to be computed at the "hog rate" which is higher than tho cattle rate. Tho men present felt that many sin gle points llko thin. brought out at the Hosslons more than repaid thorn for all tho ttmo and money spout iu attondldg tho classes. A conferonco of tho managora waa also hold tho first afternoon at which thoy took up thu problems of shrink age aud similar quontlons.
