There was no active county-twiile urganlzutiun ol farmers !n Morrow county when L. A. Hunt was appointed county aguut early in 19l. His tlrst work was to lay plans (or the orKunizulion o( a Coun ty Kami Uureuu, which would deter mine upon a program of agricultural Improvement for the county. He vis ited each community, meeting a few leading fumerx and discussed with them some of the problems of that particular community. Following this a public meeting was held,' at which time the commun ity program was adopted, and the county program of the Farm Bureau was made up from recommendations of the organized communities. The projects taken up and the county chairmen of each project are as fol lows: Better Wheat Varieties, F. S. Stevens, Lexington; Farm Labor, F.d. Heitmann, lone; Co-operative j Marketing, H. W. Turner, Ileppner; j Rodent Control, Jack llynd, Cecil; 1 Good Koada, Aduni Knoblock, ilepp ner; Livestock Improvement, F.d Hugg, Ileppner; Orchard Work, John Wiglitman, Ileppner; Commun ity Club Work, C. C. Paine, llourd mnn; Irrigation, Mutt Hughes, Ilepp ner; Farm Records, Myles Martin, Lexington; Oscar Keithley of Fight Mile is president of the Farm Hu reau. One of the first pieces of organi zation work was a rabbit campaign. No le'-ord of the number of rabbits killed Is available. Hwelve tons of poisoned alfalfa leaves were distri buted. Approximately the same dis tribution in I'niatilla county result ed in the killing of 250.UOU rabbits. The county agent's olllce In Morrow county has from the first been a la bor distribution center. In 1918 a county labor committee was appoint ed. This committee of geven men representing different distribution centers, arranged a county wage Bcale and assisted county agent F. K. lirown In placing men within the county. One hundred and eighty three farm hands were placed. As a result of the county wage scale the average cost of hired help was a dollar per day per man less than was paid in an adjacent county. During 1919 nearly as many men were placed through the county ag ent's ollice. During the past year a Jersey Bull Association was organi zed at lloardman. This is a newly settled district which is rapidly de veloping. The new settlers needed the regular income derived from the monthly cream check and it Is very important that the dairymen get started (with the proper kind of stoch. A community shipment of improved dairy stock hvas arranged by Mr. Hunt and two carloads of cows with known production records were ship ped in from the Willamette Valley. Sixteen were registered Jerseys and the others twere high grades. These were sold at auction. II !

Considerable activity in local real estate is reported for last week by F. U. Brown, a local dealer. The activity extended over eight counties, according to Mr. llniwn, and the land, or particles of it at least, were as high in one county as the other. Mr. Brown had the pleasure (?) of visiting these eight counties while the storm wave was nt its crest. John F. Kenny, eust Ileppner far mer and stockman, was a Monday business man In Ileppner. M. K. Cotter, well known lone well driller, spent Saturday in Ileppner Bulletin Published by Department of Agriculture His Twelve Let tons on Subject. (Prepared by the United Btatea Depart ment of Agriculture.) To add Impetus to the teaching of dairying In elementary rural school Bulletin 703, Just published, contains 12 lessons on the subject. With each lesson are given helpful directions for home projects that may be worked out with profit to every community and with real educational value to pupils. Practically all the subject ma ttTlal for class use and Instructions for home projects can be found in available bulletins either free or at Kinull cost, but teachers and pupils are advised to use additional sources of Information, such as the printed mat ter from dairy cattle breeders' asso ciates, books on dairying, and farm and dairy Journals. According to the bulletin tenchers of agriculture are agreed that Instruction on that subject should follow certain definite lines it should be seasonal, be local in its Interests, meet the needs of the pupils, and be practical. The home-project plan affords the best means of meeting these conditions, es pecially the practical side, for by It the pupil works out for himself the principles aDd theories taught in the classroom. The term "home project," applied to Instruction In elementary and supple mentary agriculture, Includes as re quisites a plan for home work and re lated Instruction in agriculture at the school. It should be a problem new to the pupil ; the parent and pupil should agree with the teacher on the plan ; some competent person must su pervise the home work ; detailed rec ords of time, method, cost, and Income must be honestly kept; and a written report based on the record should be submitted to the teacher. One of the means by which teachers may learn the dairy Interests of the district Is a dnlry survey. The pupils may assist In obtaining this Informa tion, but first hand knowledge obtain- 1 I ; Rural Schools Teach How to Select j Good Dairy Cows. ; tion should he tabulated as lt is col- lected. In addition the teacher with the pupils' help should prove charts ! showing the points of a typical dairy I cow, samples of dnlry records showing ; how they should be kept, directions ; showing the food value of milk, and i drawings showing a section of the ; model dairy farm, milk house, etc. The bulletin contains lessors, glv ; Ing sources of mineral, on the follnw- Ing subjects: Producing clean milk, care of milk and cream, welghlnz milk. ; testing milk, keeping of records and ' marketing dairy products, profit and loss (good and poor cows), Judging and purchasing stock, care In handling of the dairy cow !nd barn, butter man ' nfacture. food value of milk and Its ! use in the home, making cottage ' cheese, cooking with milk products, 1 and the use of mi'.k as a supplement to other foods. OAK MARKS VENERATED SPOT Tree Planted Where Abraham Erect ed Altar to the Lord Hat Been Carefully Preserved. It Is recorded that when Abraham was promised the possession of the land of Canaan and was commanded to "walk through the land," he "re moved his tent, and came and dwelt In the plain of Mnmre, which Is lu Hebron, und built there an altar to the Lord." This spot Is still marked by t great oak, venerated alike by "Here's An Eye -Opener" says the Good Judge The man who used to chew the old kinds will tell you that it costs him less to us the Real Tobacco Chew.

IlllllilllllllllllllllllllilllUIIlP The Most Closely Priced Fine Car We Let You Know What The Chandler Price Is THE Chandler Motor Car Company, ever since the first Chandler Car was built seven years ago, has, in every advertisement issued to newspapers and magazines and all other forms of publications, stated the list price of the Chandler Car. It states it now and will continue to do so. There is good reason for this and many thousands of motor car owners know it. This is the reason The Chandler Six is the most closely priced fine car in the whole medium priced field. Look through the pages of this paper or a magazine that may be lying on your table. There are probably from ten to twenty automobile advertisements. How many name the price of the car? True, the cost of automobile production has increased in the past year, and it is still increas ing. But the Chandler Company, throughout 1919, with all its production greatly oversold, held to its price. S The Chandler Six of today is a highly per- I fected development of the Chandler Six seven I years ago, whichstarted the trend toward light weight sixes. All the engineering skill and production efficiency at the command of the Chandler Company has been devoted to this one chassis and that fact is one of the reasons for the Chandler's leadership in its field today. All Chandler bodies are mounted on the one standard Cliandler chassis. Simple, sturdy and dependable throughout, its features embrace, as for years past.'the really marvelous Chandler Motor, solid cast aluminum motor base, annular ball bear ings, silent chain drive for the auxiliary motor shafts, and Bosch magneto ignition.
