Biennial Report of County
School Supt, Morrow Co.
(continued from page 1)
District No. 22, Idea, purch
ased lumber this week to build
a new schoolhouse. There has
been no school in this district
for se?.ral years.
District No. 85, lone, will in
tbout five weeks eomplete the
erection of a building containing
eia-ht recitation rooms beside
basement Connected to the
building and made a part thereto
will be an auditorium and gym
nasium combined. Ihe cost is
about $43,600.
Barns to shelter the horses
were built in three districts.
Improvements have been made
in a number of districts, such as
painting, remodeling, cleaning
ate. A well was bored in Dis
trict No. 23. also one in District
No. 51. In three other districts
cisterns were built and filled
with water a few days before
the opening of school.
Boyi and Girls uub Work is
not as strong as I would like to
have it If it were possible to
have a elub leader in each dis
trict after school closes in the
spring, or if we could have a
county club leader during the
vacation period results would be
satisfactory. Boys and girls are
enthusiastic at the beginning of
the school term but with no
county fair and no competent
leaders throughout the county.
there is little incentive. Credit
must be given our county agent
R. W. Morse, and Mr. R. B,
Wilcox for tne enort made in
this work and' for its- successful
completion, t
We lament tne loss ot our
county nurse. Neither the red
cross nor the county were in
position to finance the work
longer, hence 'we have been
without since November, 1923.
For several years we have been
100 per cent in O. S. T. A.
membership and we feel that wet
can continue to be so. We have
County Divibion of tte O. S. T.
A. All the teachers in the
county have been members of
this division and we think this
coming year will be no exception.
For three years we have had a
Reading Circle Library in the
cointy. These books are loaned
to the teachers free of charge.
Three local institutes were
ubstituted for the annual insti
tute, the first one being in
.session at Heppner. School
boards gave their teachers one
Friday in October to attend.
The Otis Intelligence lest was
given to every teacher and later
to every pupil attending school.
The Hedrick-Hoppes Test in
Oregon History was given to all
eighth grade pupils, and before
school closed all pupils were
given the Woody-McCall Arith
metic test and the Monroe
Reading Test.
The two other institutes were
held one at lone and the other
at Boardman. The County Unit
Plan was placed on the ballot
at the time of the Primary Elec
tion, but failed to pass. We feel
however that the people will try
to learn more about the system
nd perhaus in time will realize
its benefits.
The outlook for this year is
yery encouraging. With a splen
did corps of teachers, with an
awakened interest in the mem
bers of school boards, the tax
payers and patrons, we feel
that the schools are fitting into
the needs of the communities
and we are sure the year will be
a successful as well as a prosper
ous one.
Respectfully submitted,
Lena Snell Shurte,
County School Supt

ljrniLimcmTiorWH LIVESTOCK Exposition
AboTo are pictured the new build
ing, August 23rd. Just one month
after the (Ire. When pnople hoard
that the Pacific, International Llve
atock Expotitlon at Portland had been
destroyed, It wai like a blow In the
face. But the Indomitable spirits who
formed It first, who labored tor Its
establishment and continuance were
not daunted. x
Within a few days, work had been
begun on a new home, "bigger and
better than erer," and now It Is Hear
ing completion. The contractora hare
promised to hare It done and ready
for occupancy by October 25th, and
the great Exposition will open Ha
doors to the public on the morning of
N'orember 1st with a larger and more
beautiful show than ever in Its his
tory. The new structure Is modeled In
general after the old one, for the ar
rangement and plan of the former
ne was hard to beat. The stadium
has been enlarged, however, and forty
feet have been added to Ita length,
and the seating capacity has been
Increased to 7000.
The horse department has been en
larged and Improved, as has the poul
try department, while the boys' and
girls' clubs will have a department ei
cluslvely for their exhibits.
Magnificent animals from all over
the United States will show what
breeding and scientific care can dn
with the race of dairy cows. World
record animals of various broeds are
promised and the dairy department
will be a union of beauty and utility
nut to be surpassed anywhere In the
world. The breeders of cattle Vie
with each other for numbers and ex
cellence, and there la always a sports
manlike struggle In the show ring be
tween breeders tor the coveted blue
ribbons.
Collected within the walls ot the
Immense Expotitlon building are not
only the finest dairy cattle to be
found anywhere In the world, but
hundreds ot other anlmala, repre
senting the time, labor and thought
and work of centuries to bring them
to as near perfection as the Ingenuity
of man can compass. Nor Is this all.

of color and fragrance, the accomplish
ments of the boys and girls In uaeful
endeavor and other things worthy of j

Copper Carbonate Treatment
Proves Advantageous
By Roger W. Monte, County Agent
Last spring the County Agent
planted a treatment test in the
wheat nursery on the Troy Bo
gard farm north of lone. In this
test Bluestem was sown on the
25th of March, treated with
formaldehyde, blues tone, Blue
stone and lime, and copper
carbonate. Stand counts made
after the wheat was up showed
the following percentages ofj
stand. Aftercounting the plants
in a rod length row the treat
ment giving the greatest number
was listed at 100 per cent and the
counts figured from that basis
was as follows:
Method of per cent
treatment of stand
Formaldehyde 42
Bluestone 95
Bluestone & Lime 97
Copper Carbonate 100
Other tests have shown that
there is a large loss in germin
ation when wheat is treated with
the wet treatments and sown in
fairly dry ground. With copper
carbonate showing as good smut
control as the wet methods the
advantage in better stands es
pecially in a dry seeding time
makes the copper carbonate treat
ment very desirable.
The Morgan Sunday school
enjoyed a picnic dinner last Sun
day. Rev's. Head and Morti
more of lone were in attendance
and conducted a service at the
schoolhouse, Rev. Mortimore
preaching the sermon.
This school remained open
during the harvest season and
maintained a high average atten
dance during the quarter.
There will be no preauhing
service at the lone Baptist Church
Sunday, the pastor, Rev. E. B,
Johnson being in attendance on a
a convention of the Baptist

Father and son week has come
to be an established institution
in most communities but has
never been observed here. We
wonder v. hy.
The Sunday school at Hard
man has reopened with a full
attendant. .
The social committee of the

tional church was well attended.
