Ib-riml Khou Net Profits of $12,
(MMI Item-lit Education and
Hi-Miurci-H of Oregon.
Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
vallis. 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.
