FARMERS LEARN WHAT WAS
WRONG WITH CHERRIES

When the Wasco county (Oregon)
farm bureau secured a county agent
in 1916, there were 10000 cherry
trees in the county which had been
bearing only 10 per cent of a normal
crop during the past few years. A
full crop would be valued at $780,
600, while the growers had been get
ting only $4,000 for their fruit.
No sooner had the county agent
become established than committee
of cherry growers visited him in his
office and placed their problems be-
fore him. They explained there
were varying opinions locally as to
the reason for the nonsetting Of the
fruit after profuse blossoming in the
spring. Such matters as frost pre-
valence, lack of irrigation, and poor
cultural methods were variously at
tributed to be the cause. The county
agent, who was a graduate in horti-
culture from the Oregon Agricultural
College, Investigated the problem and
arrived at the conclusion that the
reason for the failure of the thous-
ands of Bing, Lambert, and Royal
Anne trees to bear was due to the
lack of pollenization. He had studied
some experimental work in which
the pollenizatlon Of Royal Annes and
Bings had been successfully effected
by Towering shoots Of the Water
house VARIETY.
The county agent placed demon
strators in the various communities
and obtained Waterhouse scions for
top working every sixteenth tree in
the orchards Of the community DEM
onstrators. The local chamber oi
commerce took an interest in the
matter and secured scions for
thousand trees to be treated under
the observation OF the county agent
A squad of upper-classmen from the
State agricultural college were sent
to the county to perform the graft
ing operations. Similar work was
done in budding.
During the past two seasons the
demonstrations Of cross polleniza
ton frfom grating the Waterhoust
scions have been so successful thai
80 per cent of the owners of the 40,
900 cherry trees in the county arc
now using pollenators. News of this
work has reached other cherry-grow
ing districts and farmers and scien
lists alike have journeyed from the
neighboring states to observe the re
suits. Excursions Of growers from
the Yakima Valley in Washington
and the Willamette Valley in Oregon
have been held and the lesson dem
onstrated in Wasco County has no
only benefited local orchardists bu
those of neighboring districts.

BOY SCOUTS GIVE PROPER
DEVELOPMENT on YOU


Cine OF the strongest and most
highly valued endorsements of the
Boy Scouts Of America has been Civ
en- by the Hon. Philander P. Claxton,
Commissioner OF Education OF the
United States. In "An Open Letter
to the Churches" issued by the Com
missioner from the Bureau of Educa-
tion in Washington, he tells of the
great problem of looking after the
leisure time of boys while they are
not at school or under the direct su-
pervision of home or church, and
points out that especially during the
period of early adolescence it should
be the object of the modern educa-
tional ideal to have the entire waking
life Of the boy filled with supervised
directed activity The availability of
the Boy Scout program for such pur-
pose, he says, has been fully tested
Commissioner Claxton's letter fol-
lows:
Persons Of vision declare that we
are entering upon a renaissance in
education. Let US hope that this pre-
diction finds its justification in the
awakening to the consciousness Of
teachers to the infinite possibilities
OF development of the educatlve pro-
cess.
In the particular unit Of secondary
education, which we are beginning
to call the Junior High School, and
which covers the period OF early ado
lescence, the modern educational
ideal cohceives the entire waking
life Of the boy as filled with super
vised, directed activity. The school,
the home and the church has each
It's responsibility for the develop
ment of the boy in this, his most
impressionable period.
Granting that each discharges its
obligation to the boy, there still re-
mains a residue of unemployed leis-
ure, sufficiently large to menace all
the good accomplished by these three
great educative forces.
The church and the school, ade-
quately to serve the youth committed
to their care, must extend their func-
tions and absorb under their direc-
tion the leisure time of the boy
The availability of the Boy Scout
program for such purpose has been
fully tested. It has been approved
by leading educators; the movement
is essentially religious, but non-sec-
tartan. It trains for citizenship, but
is non-partisan, and non-political. 1t
is non-military, offering program
of activities which include every fea-
ture of military drill EXCEPT the
Manual of Arms, and training to
shoot to kill. II can be incorporated
into the recreational program of any
denominational body, without read
justment. II offers the boy the op-
portunity to do the things he wants
to do, in better way than he can do
them by himself Scouting is de-
signed to make real men out of boys
by real program, that works.
The Bureau Of Education com.
mends it to the favor of all organiza-
tions desiring to extend the post
class room programs of the adde's
cent boys under their care.

FORD CAR STRUCK
BY EXPRESS TRAIN
Putney Rural Mail Carrier Has Narrow
Escape from Death
Today.
Special to The Reformer.
PUTNEY, Nov.

PUTNEH, Nov. /.
Charles Harrington, mail carrier on
rural route No. |, narrowly escaped in
slant death about ll30 o'clock this fore
noon, when his five passenger Ford auto
mobile was struck by the northbound
passenger train. Mr.. Harrington was
not injured, but his machine was dam
aged badly.
Mr.. Harrington lives on farm located
between the railroad tracks and the riv
er. He had started in his car to make his
daily mail delivery trip. A large ice
house owned by the Boston & Maine Rail
road company obstructed his view to the
south and he neither saw nor heard the
train until it was too late to avoid an
accident. Mr.. harrington stopped his
machine as quickly as possible and see
ing he did not have time to reverse his
engine he jumped from the car.
The front end of the automobile, which
was very close to, but not on the track
was struck by the railroad engine, turn
ing the machine around so that the real
end was struck also.
Mr.. Farrington's presence of mind re
sulting in his jump doubtless saved hii
| life.
