Supt. W. G, Kersbergen Requests
Students to Call Week Before
School Opens.
The teaching staff for the Her
miston high and grade school bas
been completed and school will open
Monday, September 7, according to
W. G. Kersbergen, the new super
intendent.
Coach Frank O’Neill of Grants
Pass, Ore., has been employed to di
rect athletics and as physical edu
cation instructor. He is a graduate
of Pacific University at Forest
Grove, where he acted as assistant

school.
The other members of the high

languages. Miss Lavina May Lynch,
of Kayser, West Virginia, who is a
graduate of Whitman, and will teach
English and physical education.
Miss Esther Sibert will again be

jects. Mrs. Beulah Adams, who will
teacb home economics and music, is
a graduate of Wilmington College
and the University of California and
Washington.
Ladrew Moshberger

Miss Margaret Kirk of Walla Walla

mi and Miss Nora Johnson will

Superintendent Kersbergen has
asked that all students who plan to
enroll In the high school come to his
office some time the week before
school opens. He also Invites the
parents to accompany the students if
they desire to do so.
Mr. Kersbergen will be in his office
from nine until eleven o’clock in the
morning until four o’clock in the
afternoon.
The following is a continuation of
the article written by Mr. Kersber-
gen, part of which appeared last
week in the Herald.
In the field of languages the Her-
miston high school presents, four
years of English, two of Latin, two
of Spanish and one of public speak
ing and debate. This combination
permits a major in English and mi
nors in Latin and Spanish. If pub
lic speaking and debate is taken,
this unit in conjunction with four
units of English satisfies the require
ment for one major and one minor.
Students are urged to take foreign
languages in the first three years of
the course. Of course if a student
elects to study both Latin and Span
ish the course can be continued in
to the fourth year. Most colleges
do not require foreign language for
admission but nearly all of them re
quire it for graduation or granting
a degree. The high school student
who presents two or more years of
foreign language for college admis
sion will be excused from part or
all of the college foreign language
requirement.
The natural science offering in
cludes elementary science, biology
and chemistry. Students wishing a
minor should take the elementary
science and biology. If a major is
desired then chemistry will be ad
ded. The first two courses should
be taken in the first and second
years and if a third course is taken
the third or fourth year are equal
ly satisfactory from the school's
standpoint, but the individual stu
dent should plan at least the two
years ahead so that no conflict aris
es between this course and another
that he wishes to take. An addi
tional minor may be had by taking
general mathematics and algebra.
The social science offering pro
vides for a major, a minor or two
minors. The specific courses offered
are world history, United States his
tory. civics and a year's course in
sociology and economics. The course
in United States history is set for
the third year and the civics course
in the fourth year, so any student
wishing three or four units in the
field should take the world history
and sociology and economics course
in the first two years.
In the vocational field the high
school is of course restricted by the
size of the school and community
but a number of vocational courses
are offered. A general course in vo
cational Information is given and
should be taken by all freshmen, al
though it will not be made an abso
lute requirement. This year with
better facilities and more room a
course in home economics will be
given.

one of the assurances for producing
prime birds. They have been in the
turkey business four years and have
marketed a high percentage of prime
birds each year. Because of the
sandy soil and direct sunshine they
recommend this section of Umatilla
county as ideal for turkey produc
tion.
The first year the Darlings hatch
ed 235 poults, setting the eggs under
four hens. The next year they kept
35 hens for breeding stock and pur
chased two incubators. The second
year they kept 135 hens and the
last two years they have kept 235
hens, selling a total of 3650 eggs to
producers.
Custom hatching for the Darlings
was done this year by Mr. and Mrs.
H. G. Rankin who have three James-
way incubators. This spring the
Darlings sold 450 poults, leaving a
flock of 1000 turkeys.
Turkey poults are housed in a
24x60 foot colony brooder house,
heated by a hot water system. The
capacity is 1500 poults, placed 250
in each of the seven compartments.
The poults range on the sun porch
whenever the weather permits. This
porch is covered by wire netting one
foot from the ground which is re
movable and easily cleaned.
Breeding toms were purchased
from John Woods at Hood River for
this year’s breeding, and last year
from the H. G. Rankin flock.
Disease has not been prevalent
tn the Darling flock and the birds
range on new ground each year, not
being placed on an old range sooner
than the third year.
A fair margin has been realized
between the teed costs and market
price each year by the Darlings and
they have cleared an average of
32.75 per bird. This does not include
labor costs.
The Darlings milk eight head of
Jersey cows and teed the separated
milk to two head of hogs. No wet
milk is given to the turkeys because
it breeds flies and disease, and there
is a milk content in the mash feed.
Modern Home.
A modern six room home with a
full length screened in porch on the
east side is found on the Darling
farm. The house is lighted by a
Delco plant installed in the base-
ment which also operates an auto
matic water system for the house
and on the turkey range. A flamo
and wood stove and Electrolux re
frigerator also add greatly to the
conveniences of the home.
The Delco plant also furnishes
light in the brooder houses.
FIRST TURKEY TOUR HELD

alfalfa fields were being used ex
tensively for shade on the ranges.
H. Griffin, field manager for the
Northwest Turkey Growers’ associa-
