Oregon will reap still larger beuefiiB from its girls' and boys' club work which netted a profit of $12,000 in 1919, thinks George E. Ferrell, national ciub leader. "Oregon stands in the front rank of states in club work," Mr. Ferrell says, "and I think warrants the ex penditure of more federal funds In this state this year." Great improvement in the work of last year over former years is noted by the national leader. The number of completed reportB for 1918 was but eight per cent, while in 1919 it had risen to 43 per cent. Other advantages cited by Mr. Ferrell are free demonstration work that educates not only girls and boys but the general public to a better way of doing things such as canning, bak ing, and Judging live stock. A great number of pure bred cattle have been brought into Oregon by these demon strations, which were called especial ly successful. Pleads for Country Child. 'The rural Bchool course should provide for the country child as com plete preparation for life, health, cit izenship and lefsure as well as occu pation, as the city school does for the city child," say the resolutions adopt ed by the Oregon Community Life conference at Farmers' week. Length of schooling as well as subjects taught are included in this program. Testing Finds the Good Cow. Average fat production by 3069 Oregon cows tested in November was 21.22 poundB about double the av erage production of the Oregon cow for November. Yet the two best cows tested in association work pro duced 880 pounds each, reports E. L. Westover, federal and O. A. C. field dairyman. Plowing Aids Hcjib Control. Apple scab control is helped by plowing under the leaves while the trees are still dormant, say the O. A. C. plant pathologist specialists. The fungus that causes scab is carried over winter in the infected leaves, and is discharged in the air as a mi croscopic dust, which rises and finds lodging places on the opening leaf and fruit buds. The discharge may continue as late as June. New spores are formed from the first attacks, continuing the disease until fall. Spraying with lime-sulfur, 1-25, just as the apple blossom clusters open enough to allow the spray to touch the clump of buds at the center, is the most practical control mea sure. Oregon growers now save an nually more than a million dollars a year by spraying for scab. Agents Stand by Newnmpcr. Support of the Oregon community newspapers was pledged by the coun ty agricultural agent conference at the agricultural college January9, in a resolution unanimously adopted. These resolutions took note of the news print scarcity and other high cost of production factors. In view of the large part played by the local papers in promoting community pro grams built around farm bureau work the county agents went on record for their support. Co-operation In ob taining desirable advertising was one of a half dozen means mentioned for putting the resolution into ecect. Tested Cows Increase Yield. Cow-testing records show that the average production in testing associa-1 tions that have been in continuous op-, eratlon for five or more years in Ore-1 gon is 100 pounds more fat than the average in associations that have run irregularly. At present quotation this means a gain of $68 per cow per year, says E. L. WeBtover, federal and college field dairy husbandman. Sheriff Lillie caled the editor of the Globe-Times ud the last of the week, reauestine that he come over to the court house and take a look at something worth seeing. After a newB item, the response was prompt. The Bheriff had in charge a for eigner, either a Greek or an Italian, named Nadotto Sovina, who was be ing held for examination as to his sanity. This is the same man who w.-ia taken into custody in Pendleton some three years back, and found to have handcuffs on that he had been wearing for a period of 17 months. Sovina escaped from emigration officers in Canada, with the cuffs on, and made his way Into this country. He succeeded in breaking the chain between the manacles, but was una ble to get rid of the cuffB, and being ignorant and unable to speak Eng lish, he was in a bad fix. He kept niiahtnir the cuffs un on his arms, in order that they would not be viBible, and gradually the flesh grew over the metal, until the cuffs were al most hidden by his swollen wrists and arms. When he was taken intj custody at Pendleton it was neces sary to cut away the flesh in order to get at the handcuffs and file them nff At that time hiB hands, wrists and forearms were twice their natural size, and the man was suffering ter ribly. He now carries scars that are hid eous. There are rings around his arms lust above the wrists that are nearly an Inch deep in places, and it gives both his forearms ana whsis iho annearance of being deformed. They will remain the same all of the man's life. He was examined as to his sani ty but the doctors did not feel Jus tified in recommending his commit ment to the asylum, and he was freed Saturday. Despite the condition ot his arms, he does hard work, ana has been a member of many a pick and shovel gang. Condon Globe-Times.
