tive statements showing the posi-
tlon OF Malheur county's schools as
compared with those of other coun-
ties in the state cannot be doubted.
The comparative statement, too, re-
flutes emphatically the Oft repeated
statements that our schools are ex-
ertvagantly administered.
II should be particularly noted
that in every instance where per
centage OF attendance, and other
factors showing the use OF which
the schools are put by the people
Malheur county Is high in the list;
while In every feature relating to
schools the county Is away down on
the list.
For example, there are only three
counties I'm the state which pay
their teachers less than they re-
ceive in Malheur county. There
are only three in which the cost per
pupil Is lower than II is here.
when II is further considered
that as compared with the other
states I'm the Union Oregon is twen-
ty-third in comparative expense, II
must be admitted that for the edu-
cation OF their children the people
OF Malheur county are getting re-
suits at away below the average
cost.
In this connection the only critl.
cism that we have heard OF late Is
that concerning teachers salaries

tion, but all OF the authorities high

APPRECIATES YOUR HOME TOWN

During the course OF the past ten
months since he left ontario Il has
been necessary for him TO visit all
over the intermountain country and
he is therefore qualified TO Judge.
Visitors TO Ontario constantly
make such declarations and while
some may do 80 to flatter our pride,
yet the statement made no often
must have measure OF truth. II
Ia certain that many OF US do not
appreciate how really fortunate we
are In this section. Even though
we are facing real problems, the
basis OF our prosperity is laid deep
and business here is holding It's
own. We ought TO appreciate this
fact.

FIGHT THE WEEVIL

The havoc which the alfalfa wee
vii has brought In many fields OF
the county has at last demonstrated
that Il Is a menace that cannot be
ignored.
BY some OF the men who have
considered the problem from many
angles the coming OF the weeyil Is
viewed almost as blessing; for
they argue, that II will COMPEL the
abandonment OF alfalfa, as the sole
reliance OF the raneher.
While this may be true, still al
falfa will never be abandoned as a
leading crop, Il would be a calam-
lty 10 have all the alfalfa fields
devastated, for upon alfalfa will be
built the dairy and hog raising in
dustries which will take up the
slack left by the eurtailment OF
stock raising which has already
manifested itself,
IL all the fields OF alfalfa In the
county could be abandoned for a
few years perhaps the pest could be
thus urtailed-but Il is foolish to
anticipate such condition, and
that being true II rests with the
ranchers to adopt the next best
method,
The county is fortunate that Il
has the opportunity OF getting the
advise OF the specialists OF the de-
partment OF agriculture through
the county agent, BY this service II
is possible that many times the cost
OF the entire service will be saved
to the county in combating this men
ace alone.
