MORROW COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER
The State School Faces A
Crisis

AT the agricultural college in 1918
there were 1864 full-time students;
there are now 1878. In 1918 there
were enrolled at the state university
69l full-time students; now there
are l745. These figures do not take
into consideration the many part
time students, those who attend sum-
mer schools and those who take short
courses and correspondence courses.
The millage tax, provided for in
1918, has not provided increases in
income to keep pace with the tre-
mendous growth. The assessed val
uation of Oregon property has in
creased very little since 1918. The
university receives in actual dollars
but Sl0,S46 more year, the agricul-
tural college but Sl4,462 more and
the normal school but Sl445 more.
The war placed new emphasis on
higher education, and this has been
one of the factors contributing to the
great increase in attendance at our
colleges. State aid for ex-Service
men has resulted in hundreds of
young men entering the university
and agricultural college who other
wise would have been unable to con-
tinue their studies. With their in
come limited by law, the institutions
have been unable to add to their fa-
cilitieS to accommodate these extra
students. Buildings have been util-
lied to their last inch of space, class
rooms have been over-crowded and
administration officials have had
heir wits taxed TO the utmost in the
solution Of problem not unlike the
sleeping Of 80 men in 10 beds"
TIE purchasing power of the dol
- rs sNrunk 70 AZ cents since 1918
- o a~1rava-e the situation, the
school heads have had to cope with
mounting costs Of equipment. 1t has
been impossible to increase the SAL
aries of instructors in keeping with
the added living expenses and many
have been enticed away TO other COL
leges able to offer higher salaries or
10 other vocations more attractive
financially. The agricultural college
has had As faculty designations since
July, 1919.
All of these facts reveal plainly a
crisis has arrived. If the state does
not provide additional revenue, these
schools will be forced to limit their
enrolment and send hundreds of
young men and women out Of the
state for their education. The ad-
ministrative heads have exhausted
their resources in meeting abnormal
demands with sub-normal income.
They are, as they frankly state, "at
the end Of their rope" They are
now placing the facts before the pub
lie and asking for decision.
Let your vote be cast as if the de-
cision were wholly in your hands

What Do Yon Eat9

What do YOU eat? On the whole,
is your food much the same that
crandad used to live on2
Probably not. Anyway, its inter
eS6ng to note the result Of an inn-
mate inquiry recently made by the
Office Of home economies in the Uni
ted States Agricultural Department.
Il consisted Of a comparison of the
foodStuffS purchased by 500 fannie,
with the amounts or the same fooo>
purchased BY 400 families about 20
years ago.
The outcome shows that the am
cunt of meat in the diet has decreaS-
ed about s per cent, and grain pro-
ducts have increased about 6 per
cent; vegetables, 4 per cent, and
fruits s per cent. The average am
cunt of meat and fish supplied in the
diet in the 500 studies was about 6
ounces daily per man; dairy products,
l6 ounces; grain products, 10 oun-
ceS; vegetables, l6; fruits, @; sugar
and syrupS, 5, and fats, 2 ounces.
The use of milk increased up to
IA ounces a day, which is only one
third Of a quart. We quite agree with
the Journal Of the American Medical
Association that this is inadequate
and shows that the people of this
country undervalue the importance
of milk in the diet. One-third of a
quart Of milk to a family is much be-
low what should be normal-normal
merely from health standpoint,
Perhaps, however, when somebody
deviSes a way to get milk from the
producers to the consumer with part
of the heavy middle charge elimin-
ated, We will become greater milk
drinkers-aS a nation-and more
healthy in consequence.

What Is A Bolshevik Really
Like?

Many Of US in the quieter places
wonder what sort Of people these
communists and Bolsheviks are. OF
course, we realize that they are des-
tructionists but-what kind of human
beings are they?
The writer of this piece happens
to have looked up this class Of people
pretty thoroughly and nowhere has
he seen such true-to-life description
Of the human nature Of the commun-
ist and anarchist as Henry Ford gives.
Here it is; we pass it along to our
readers
The destructionist groups repre-
sent a type Of individual which we
always have with US. If they are
apparently very noisy now about de-
stroying the more settled and time
proved institutions, it is only because
these institutions happen to be to the
fore. When the subject was some
thing else, the attitude was the same.
That is to say, the man whose on
ly remedy for governmental flaws is
to destroy the government, is the
same type Of man who goes to break
ing dishes on the floor in fit OF
amer He would rather smash his
pipe than clean it; he would rather
strike his son than counsel him.
Whenever men Of this type are
nlaced no AGAINST any problem which
needs intelligence and patience for
IFS solution, they react at once to
their temperamental cure-all, de-
struction. They are the kind Of men
who rip a collar to pieces because
a buttonhole will not readily open.
In a world of their own these men
would not become bothersome, for
in a world controlled by them there
would be nothing to destroy"

Sulfur May Aid Plant Growth

That sulfur acts directly in pro-
noting plant growth and also favors
assimilation of more nitrogen by sti-
mulating legume bacteria develop
ment and activity, is indicated in
greenhouse trials by the 0. A. C. ex-
pertinent station chemists. Of two
field trials one plot responded to sui
turing and the other did not, showing
the need of trials before making
large applications. Experiments are
still under way to determine what ef-
feet sulfur has on assimilation of nj
trogen BY clover with and without
aid of legume bacteria.
