'F0LL|ES' TO PLAY
 TO BIG AUDIENCE

Members of the Franklin literary society of Hendrix College appearing tonight at Hauber's Grand in "The Franklin Follies," will be greeted by a capacity audience, if the advance sale of seats is good indication. The show by the collegins has outsold any road attraction this season and a sec end house may be required to ac- commodate those who wish to see the production.
 The company of young men is fully trained in the six acts which are to comprise the show, and the public is promised an evening of wholesome amusement. Charles A. Stuck is di- rector of the "Follies" with Tommie Hayes and Fred L. Scott as associates.

conspicuous service to the State.

NOT BEEN LESSENED.

THE sum of departments abolished
and new departments created brings
us, estimated fairly, to just about
where we were before. If there were
1877 in 1920, we now have at least 1877.
At any rate, everyone must agree
that we still have over $50. The

begin to compare in possibilities for
spending with the six newly created
ones. and no future curb has been
provided to guarantee us against
further reorGanizations and more

News. Results of the demonstration

ing on the county agents program arr
given wide distribution in this man
ner. Community meetings are held ii
. every community several times dur
! ing the year and on these occasions
lectures by county agents and exten.
sion specialists are frequently fea.
lures.
Here is county agents typical
program:
/. Wheat variety trials in twenty
communities.
2. Demonstrations of the value of
early plowing Of summer fallow, five
communities.
9. Certification of seed potatoes,
two communities.
5. Silage feeding demonstrations,
five communities.
6. Silage feeding demonstrations,
corn VS.. sunflowers VS.. peas and barr
ley. four communities.
Z. Orchard practices, i. e., pruning,
spraying cover crops, three communi-i
ties. Assistance in this work is OBJ
tanned from the extension specialist in
horticulture from the college.
8. County wide cooperation cam
paigns against ground squirrels and
rabbits.
Such q program of demonstration
work based on the results Of years off
effort in oregon and
other states does not fail to bring i'm /
portant practices into general use.
Many countries in eastern Oregon can
race several widespread practices of
.oday back to a similar demonstration
program. For instance, before exten-
lion work was established in Union
county, there was not single silo at
his time there are approximately 100.
There were three in Wallowa county, |

liar programs. There are also sever
extension specialists at the Oregon ag.
ricultural college to assist county
agents and in some counties thsTe are
home demonstration agents and coun.
ty club leaders also.
The methods used by extension
agents in bringing facts before the
farmers have developed unique ed
Iucational plan unlike anything here
Itofore instituted. 1t centers around
actual demonstrations in the fields, in
THE feed lots, and in some cases, in
the barns of the individual farmer.
These demonstrations serve the en-
tire community, as attention is at
tracted to them by means Of field
meetings and publicity. Every coun-
ty in Eastern Oregon carrying on ex-
tension work Is mapped into definite
communities by the county agents and
in each of these communities demon
stration'work suitable to the particular
community has been arranged in CO.
operation with leading farmers.
While the eastern Oregon extension
program Is just now becoming defi-
nHely outlined, far reaching results in
the different countries have already.
been obtained. For instance, in
Morrow county in 1919, 1t was possible
to find but 200 acres OF wheat suffi-
ciently clean to certify for seed pur-
poses. Dealers there said the county
was losing approximately $S0.D00 per
year in discounts because Of mixed
wheats. The 200 acres of clean seed 1
were used as n practical demonstra-
tion. Seed from those fields was dis
tributed over the county through the
influence of the county agent. As q |
result, this year 1897 acres were ,in-
spected and pronounced clean enough
for state certification.
A dozen field demonstrations Of the
effect of sulphur on alfalfa resulted in

sulphur to alfalfa in Deschutes coun-
~ and nearly as much in Klamath
One hundred pounds of sui
)hur increases the alfalfa yield in
hose counties ton per acre for four

an economical practice.
Field demonstrations of Hybrid 1913
wheat in Union county have so defi-
litely proven its superiority that four

ained this season. illustrations in
county are the work with
Jenkins Club wheat by County Agent
the certification OF potato
eed on Weston Mountain and demon
trations OF the value of sunflower sill

In every county there are similar ro-
ults along some particular lines
which might be narrated. The field
attracting as they do
attention and often be-
'ause of field meetings extending far
her in their influence, are the most
otent method of spreading informa-
ion used by county agents. The sec-J '

replied to the interviewer that he
