Local Marine Wins
Praise of General
Washington, D. C Praise for his
ability as a student was recently
given to Corporal LeMoin Cox, for
merly of Heppner, who completed
the difficult selected subjects course,
as taught by the Marine Corps in
stitute here. Accompanying the dip
loma was a complimentary letter
from Major-General T. Holcomb,
commandant of the corps.
Corporal Cox is now stationed at
the Naval Air Station, San Pedro,
California, and despite his various
military duties, found the necessary
time to study for and successfully
pass all examinations.
The Marine Corps institute was
established about 20 years ago with
the purpose of presenting free text
books and courses to all ambitious
marines desiring to improve their
spare time with study. The insti
tute offers a wide variety of courses,
including many of the arts, trades
and sciences.
General Holcomb's letter to Cor
poral Cox read in part: "The Major-
General Commandant congratulates
you upon your excellent work in
completing this course."
Corporal Cox is the son pf E. L.
Cox of Heppner, and prior to enter
ing the Marine corps on September
19, 1936, made his home there.
Country Editors Aid
Farm Progress
The importance of the country ed
itor in the progress of American ag
riculture is emphasized by M. L,
Wilson, national director of the ex
tension service, who was recently in
Oregon to attend a western exten
sion conference.
"It is no exaggeration to say that
the partnership of the county agent
and the country newspaper editor
has, within the past 30 years, brot
about a revolution in farm methods,"
said Director Wilson in a recent
statement in connection with Nation'
al Newspaper week.
Wilson pointed out that when the
county agent entered the agricultur
al picture some 25 years ago, he
leaned heavily on the country edi
tor from the earliest days. Usually
the work of the county agent made
good copy and it was freely used by
the country papers. The emphasis of
the county agent through the press
has been on sound, approved farm
ing methods. The result has been an
outstanding achievement in practic
al education which ranks high in
America's social history, said Wil
son.
The country papers have assisted
the county agents in their work,
which last year included the con
ducting of 700,000 demonstrations on
farms and in country homes. More
than 1,381,000 country boys and girls
in 4-H club work carried on nearly
2,000,000 projects last year.
