 Last Friday the crossing was so rough at the Ferry that the PaysOn stage was compelled to put up at O'Rourke's, on the Payson side of the river, the rest of the journey to the postoffice was made on foot.

It some times happens that it is too rough to ferry teams across, but it is never too rough for the launch to trans port individuals or baggage. The Payson stage seems to have con- gestion of passengers and freight lately, and having hard work to catch up on them.

CONSERVATION OF EDUCATION.

The spirit of conservation, awakened by the
President, is rife in the land 1t is walking up and
down, seeking where it may enter and work out
needed economies. 1t has entered the domain of
educational institutions and is calling halt
for earnest consideration.
In Kansas, Oregon, and elsewhere it is demand
ing attention to the waste incurred by needless
duplication of outfits and instructors for giving the
same lines of instruction in different state edu-
cational institutions. The Oregonian TO favor
the grouping of these institutions of that state at
some central point separate departments of
one great institution That is carrying the theory
to it's limit
Representative Macarthur dissents from this
idea and has introduced a bill in the Legislature
creating a Board of Higher Curricua" of five
members to be appointed by the Governor, of
which the Superintendent of Public Instruction is
to act secretary. The object of this Board is
ito determine what courses of study or depart
ments of instruction shall not be duplicated in
the higher educational institutions of Oregon.
Speaker Macarthur states that there is entirely
too much duplication Of courses, especially at the
University of Oregon and the Oregon Agricultural
College. The people of Oregon evidently want
these two institutions supported in a fitting man.
ner, but money should be wasted by unneces-
sary Implications The functions of the u. OF ..
and of the o. A. G. entirely different and their
courses of study should be so arranged that no
serious conflicts exist"
The Journal says "These two institutions are
way to combine them and no plan for doing SO.

Neither can be abandoned and both are equally
worthy of support. Or if any preference were to
be given to either, the o. A. c. would probably be
the favorite with the people of Oregon. 1t has
a much larger attendance than the U. of o. and
the attendance is increasing much faster It's
naturally better adapted to many
students, especially those engaged in agricultural
pursuits
Edwin Taylor a regent of the Kansas Agri
cultural College, says: "The ancient and modern
languages should not be taught at the State Agri-
cultural College. It's entomologist should be the
official entomologist for the state It's bacteriolo-
gist should be the state bacterioogist It's bot
anist should be the state bOtanist. It's professor
of horticulture and forestry should be the state
forester. Its head professor of veterinary science
should be Gas he isl the state veterinarian.
Unnecessary duplication of effort and equipment
and joint operations by the state educational in
sttutions in any branch of scientific or economic
investigation, when made at the expense of the
state, should be forbidden
These quotations show the trend of public opin-
ion towards the separation of schools of diverse
objects and toward economy of outlay in their
support. The former idea has been prominent
ever since Michigan led the way by establishing
its Agricultural College as "a separate institution
where labor could be combined with study and
held in respect, and the things that pertain to
the country and its rural life exalted" It was
bitter fight, and especially so after Congress
passed the bill of Senator Morrill, of Vermont
that established the land grant for Agricultural
Colleges in 1862 AS this became available the
Universities desired to obtain it's benefits, and in
some cases succeeded in doing So but in no state
has a College of Agriculture in connection with
the University been marked success until the
recent trend of events has forced a recognition of
the real value of agriculture to the public veal.
Idaho is wrestling with the problem of con-
servation of educational effort from the stand
point of bill to separate the Agricultural College
from it's state University, with view to secur-
ing greater efficiency and better results. The
agricultural department has recently made the
most rapid growth of any, and the University is
fighting to retain it and it's land grant. The plan
to form separate institution for agricultural edu
cation is in close accord with the Presidents
effort to promote country life and exalt the things
that pertain thereto

STATE DAIRY INSPECTION.

L. Davies of Davenport has been retained by
Governor Cosgrove State Dairy and Food Com
missioner Mr.. Davies has not covered all the
lines of work pertaining to his onerous position
because the legislature has failed to provide the
necessary ways and means to accomplish so much
work but he has done remarkably WE'LL
Mr.. Davies has appointed John IL. Wrage OF
Arlington as a dairy inspector. He says: 1.-THE
funds for this extra deputy, am taking from my
own private expense funds. This is another argu-
ment for more appropriation for dairy work. l
have asked the legislature for three additional in
spectors along dairy lines, these inspectors to be
experienced dairymen and graduates OF some
dairy school,"
Mr. Wrage has been engaged in dairy business
several years and is a graduate Of the dairy
school at Pullman and the Ames school in Iowa.
He is also recommended by some of the federal
dairy authorities.
That is the kind of men that are needed for the
work The bane of the business has been the
frequent appointments of halfbaked, impractical,
bull-headed theorists, who could not manage
dairy to save their necks, and who try to con-
form their work to the equally impractical the
cries of some doctor with no productive manual
labor experience.

COUNTRY LIFE CONCLUSIONS.

The Country Life Commission has summa-
rized the results of it's Investigations as to the
status of the rural population of the United States,
and has presented its conclusions in a report TO
the President He has placed the matter before
Congress accompanied by a message that con-
tains the following statements:
1.-THE welfare of the farmer is OF vital import
ance to the welfare of the whole community: The
strengthening of country life, therefore, is the
strengthening of the whole Nation.
ITO improve our system OF agriculture seems
to me the most urgent of the tasks which lie be-
fore US But it can not, in my judgment JUG ZEN ID, be
terial and technical side of the subject, the Whoe
business and life of the farmer must also be taken
into account.
sFrom all that has been done and learned three
great general and immediate needs of country life
stand OUT
First, effective cooperation among farmers to
put them on level with the organized interests
with which they do business.
Second new kind of schools in the country,
which shall teach the children as much outdoors
as indoors and perhaps more so that they will
prepare for country life, and not as at present.
mainly for life in town.
Third better means of communication, 1nclud-
ing Good Roads and a Parcels Post, which the
country people are everywhere and rightly unani-
nous in demanding
ITO these may we'll be added better sanitation;
for easily preventabe diseases hold several million
country people in the slavery OF continuous Ill
health.
"The commission points out, and l concur in
the conclusion that the most important help that
the government, whether National or State, can
give is to show the people how to go about these
tasks of organization, education and communlca-
ton with the best and quickest results. This can
be done by the collection and spread of informa-
tion."
Congress had three full weeks besides holidays
in which to act on these suggestions when made,
and pass some form of bills along these lines. 1t
had before it plans for advancing cooperation;
the Davis school bill; the Postoffce Department
Parcels Post bill: the Grange National Good Roads
bill and other outlines that make for progress
Will it act? 1t will not while dominated by such
men as "Me-too" Plat and Joe Cannon IL is III
what Zachariah Chandler called "a state or mas
terly inactivity" So we must probably wait I'M
til other rulers arise that 'know not Joseph" nor
ct R." Then things will move.

COOPERATION AMONG FARMERS.

The Ranch has frequently urged and endorsed
cooperative movements among farmers as a
means of securing better results from their labor
and of advancing their social and civic interests.

gress he says:

ization wherever men have the right spirit to

ing truant from school makes life burden for the
Institute people the railroad The boys
go to the out of mere curiosity only and they
occupy in car that should be taken by the
farmers"
Evidently our esteemed contemporary forgets
"the power of early Impressions" Who knows
but seeds of truth implanted in the hearts of
these apparently useless visitors that will have
potent influence on their later years and will
spring up and bear fruit "some thirty some sixty,
and some an hundred fold"
One never tell he looks in the faces of
a group of school children what will be their
status when of years has passed. 1t is
the glory of our educational system that it plants
the seed of knowledge impartially and we well
come it's aid the visible forms that appeal the
mind through the eye from demonstration

THE FARMERS INFLUENCE.

The New York World bluntly says 1.-THE
American farmer, collectively is a mighty factor
in world finance. Singly, he is i'll paid, over
worked, grossly Disseminated against in legisla-
tion, and not nearly much in need of commits
sions on social uplight of simple justice"
Figures given in The Ranch show that the far
mer produced $8,OO0000,OO0 of wealth that did not
exist one year ago; that his stock in trade is in
creasing in number and quantity; that its valua-
ton has also advanced. This fully establishes
the Worlds first proposition.
AS to the second: While "the mills of the gods
grind slowly they keep a-grinding. Ihe farmer
is learning to act collectively and in time justice
will prevail and determinations will cease
