FARMERS WEEK
DECEMBER 26 TO 81

Farmers who want to mix more sci
ence with their farm work in produc-
tion of the most profitable crops in the
most economical way, will be offered
the latest and best proved information

Getting idle lands to work, and
working lands into larger and more
profitable production through choice of
crops, soil management and wise use
of produce, is the man-size problem
many Oregon farmers are wrestling
with. Labor and science are the two
solutions and the more the science the
less the labor nj eded, says the Farm
ers Week announcements.
Short courses will be run in some
special phases of farming and related
subjects as follows:
Two weeks course in fruit and vege-
table growing, December 3-17; four
weeks course in beekeepng, January
30-February 25; four weeks course in
grain grading, January 9-21; eleven
weeks course in tractor mechanics,

YOUNG HICKS TELLS
PECULIAR STORY

Thirteen-year old Ellsworth Hicks,
who disappeared from his home here
at daybreak Monday morning of last
week and who was returned last
Wednesday night from Fallbridge,
Wash, where Host Simmons, of the
Fallbridge hotel, identified him through
descriptions of press dispatches. tells
peculiar story.
Young Hicks parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
j. S. Hicks, who recently came to
town from the Pine Grove district
where they participated in apple har-
vest, are employed at the local can
merry. The family, consisting of the
boy and a younger daughter. occupy
one of a number of cottages erected
by the cannery. The father was en-
gagged last Monday morning in build
ing a stove fire when he saw the boy
start from the house, his overalls over
his pajamas, without shoes. He called
him back and had him put on the
shoes. This was the last he saw of
the youngster.
Ellsworth says that he remembers
nothing of leaving home except that
he stopped to tie up his shoes while
walking along the Highway. An auto
mobilist picked him up and left him at
Mosier, he says and there. according
to his story, he realized that he was
away from home. He says he started
back and a short distance from Mosier
met with a man. who called himself
Glen, who was riding a pony. The lat
ter persuaded him to mount behind
him and the two proceeded to The
Dalles. He eamped with this man
Monday night, and the next day the
two crossed the Columbia on the ferry
there.
After the couple reached Avery,
Wash. according TO the boys story.
the man said the pony was getting
tired. He instructed the boy to walk
TO Fallbridge by the S. p. & S. rail
line, stating that he would follow over
the longer wagon road. The boy was
instructed 10 tell people that he met
that he was waiting for a brother
named Fred. 1t was while the boy
was waiting vainly for the arrival Of
the man that Mr.. Simmons discovered
him.
Young Ellsworth seemed happy last
Thursday. spending the day playing
with fellows around the cannery cot
tages.
