MORROW COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER
THURSDAY. January %, = 1871

Elsewhere in this issue we
publish the financial statement of
the Morrow County Poultry
Association. This is done for the
purpose of showing the people of
Heppner and Morrow county
just what funds were received
and what became Of them. 1t
shows that just enough money
was received to pay expenses less
81 cents. Look it over and see
where the money went, and the
next time you make the remark
that this poultry association is a
graft on the part Of those having
it in charge, just 60 out and back
up to big, solid telephone pole
and kick right hard, that the i'm
pact may react on your anatomy
in good shape. This habit of cry
ing graft" every time anything
of a public nature is attempted is
getting monotonous and those
wht do it cannot be considered as
promoters of the best interests
of this community. Forget it.
Practice boosting a little and get
some of this superabundance of
spleen out of your system by
helping along all these enterprises
that are intended to build up our
town and community. Be opti-
mistic; it will do you a lot Of
good.

ing to call out several candidates,

name of w. W. Smead favorably
mentioned. Just what Mr..
Smead's intentions are. this pa
per is not informed. Sheriff
Evans has decided not to enter
the race for reelection, and Geo.
McDuffee, his deputy, will enter
the field for nomination. It
seems to be general impress
son around Heppner that Willard
Blake, of lone, will also announ-
ce himself for this place and
there may be yet others. These
men would have a strong follow
ing and the race will prove inter-
esting. On the democratic side
there is no talk of candidates as
yet, aside from E. D. Huston for
clerk. 1t is pretty generally
conceded that j. J. Well will
succeed himself as assessor, and
this will no doubt go to him
without opposition.

dinary hen, and poultry fanciers
and those contemplating entering
the business ofTaising poultry might
well devote some time to consid-
Grafton of the record established by
her. Miss Purdue, for so the hen
has been named, is a White Leg
horn, and during the last two years
has produced 443 eggs, weighing
Ais pounds. A register is kept of
her performance and the records
are beyond any question.
Miss Purdue weighs only 81
pounds, but in the time mentioned
above she produced lis times her
weight. She was a gourmand and
consumed over 1872 pounds Of feed,
a feat which will surprise a great
many people. From every pound
OF feed, Miss Purdue produced 80
eggs. She manufactured one pound
of eggs from every 80 pounds Of
feed. The efficiency Of the engine
in the body of this small bird is in
deed wonderful. She is considered
one Of the most efficient producers
of finished product from raw ma
terial that ever existed. Agricul-
turists acknowledge that a steer
produces pound Of beef from u
pounds of food and that hog re-
quires 4 pounds before it can make
a pound Of pork.
1t cost $1.93 to feed the little
lady for two years; but the value of
her eggs at market price in LaFay-
cite, Ind, was s10.l1. Every doz-
en- sold for 27.4 cents. but they cost
only So cents to manufacture. Ii
it were possible to find many such
hens as Purdue found in this bird,
it would be easy to get rich from
poultry.
Miss Purdue made a profit of$9. .0S
over the cost Of feed in two years.
Her own value at the start was not
over dollar. Hens are certainly
interesting little creatures and
money makers for their owners.
Moreover, this little pride of the
poultry department has produced
eight sons and eight daughters, who
are expected to be the progenitdrs

SCHOOL NOTES.
By Supt. Notson.

The circulars concerning the in
dustrial clubs will be mailed out
from the Agricultural College to the
teachers within the next two weeks.
Every teacher should present the
matter clearly to the pupils. There
is no reason why this county should
not make a good showing along the
line of industrial work. Each teach
er will soon receive from our men,
Der of Congress, Hon. N. J. Sinnott,
a valuable bulletin on the poultry
industry and the organization Of
poultry clubs. Poultry raising
should receive special attention in
this county, for we have unexcelled
conditions ior this industry here.
The question Of standardizing the
schools Of the county has puzzled
the writer not little. The condi-
tions are so varied in this county,
and the population shifts so rapidly
that in many districts it is a ques-
ton as to how long it will be until
the district must lapse or until the
district must be divided into two
districts. Hence, the people hesi-
tate to invest as much money in the
school building and equipment as
they would do if conditions were
more fixed. Our county requires
the following points for what is styled
a standard school: |. Flag must
be flying in good weather. 2. The
schoolhouse must be properly lighted
and ventilated. 8. The school room
must be attractive. One new stan
dard picture must be added during
the year, unless there are four al
ready in the room. 4. There must
be either a drinking fountain or al
tank and pupils provided with indi- |
vidual cups. 5. Outbuildings must
be sanitary at all times. 6. There
must be walks from the road to the
schoolhouse and from the school
house to the outbuildings. 7. The
grounds must be drained, attractive,
with flowers on the grounds or in
the room. s. There must be a |
good case for the library books, pro-
vided with lock and key, and the
books must be catalogued and kept
in good condition. 8. Every pu-
pill must be entered in the spelling
contest. 10. There must be good |
order at all times. II. Work of |
teacher and pupils must be satisfac-
tory. u. There must be an ave
rage OF 95 per cent. in attendance
during the year. 13. The teach
er's monthly report must show at
least one hours visit by one or more
members of the school board each
month. IA. The teacher must at
tend at least 80 per cent. of the in
stitutes and be subscriber to at
least one educational paper.
The sixth point IS not SO import
ant in many districts of this county
as it is in the Willamette Valley.
The seventh point could be complied
with in part. The second would
require the remodeling of most of
The buildings. It may be that later
some plan for a standard may be
devised and put into effect for this
county. Think it over and let me
