--- t iikw vm-ffitia K i.-. as soon as the melon eaters compl their lesson in yells .and songs under the tutelage of Bill De Lapp, they unloaded a11.the1r sp1r1t on one grand melon rind smash. To date Dan hasn,t publlshed a bulletin on the result of this investigation, but its safe to say it was most successful. Second Football Rally October 21 On October let we had a real pep rally in the Gym. It all started with a bout between two feather-weights and a talk from ttDocti Hayes. Straight to the point, he emphasized the teams need of support from the Student Body, and by the way things went from then on, thls plea must have borne fruit. . . farmers w1th thelr syncopated melodies, an a lively scrap put on by a couple of Barneyts prideseeBuck and Miller. By the. time the last gong sounded the whole Student Body was so full of pep that the a1d rendered by Ed Voorhies was hardly needed, yet his excellent talk seemed to impress upon the students the meaning of pep and support. Prof. Dan Carey next gave a short talk tempered by idiot sticks scattered by McDermott. Now and then as the smoke cleared away two more men, McCausland and White, could be seen playfully poking their padded fingers in each others ribs. Barney and Leuschner, two veterans at the game, put on a real show, after which the coach called in the team and introduced them one by one. Victory Rally December 8 Whenever the University Farm enters any competition it makes everyone else realize they are up against a real institution. The Live- stock J udging Team and the Dairy J udging Team were sent to the Port- land International, and a few carloads of the choicest livestock ever grown were shipped to the celebrated Chicago International. The boys from Portland and Prof. Gordon H. True and Alex Mc- Donald, our veteran herdsman, returned from Chicago at about the same time, and a special rally was called to honor them. Prof. True spoke first, giving a graphic description of the great fair and commending Bob MeNeal, Magill and Sagehorn on their efforts helping to prepare the prize winning animals for exhibition. He also lauded the particularly fine work of the Stock Judging Team for their excellent showing at the Porland show. Alex McDonald was the next speaker, demonstrating that he was a good speaker as well as a master at producing worldts champions. The work of the Dairy J udging Team was given great credit by Prof. Turnbow. . Prof. Tomson, the coach of the Dairy Judging Team, explained that thls was .the first ever sent to Portland, and with the excellent showing made thls year could be depended upon to successfully represent the Farm agalnst any competition that it may enter in the future. . The last speaker was Prof. Hughes, who cheerfully gave an impres- s1on of the men and the work they did. As a fitting conclusion, Prof. True presented the prize silver cup to the members of the Livestock J udging Team. 110

Picnic Day T HAS OFTEN been quoted that the farmers are the backbone of the nation. It has also been quoted that the prosperity of the nation depends upon the prosperity of its farmers. Food a nation must always have. It is the farmers Who supply the materials for this food. In order to extract a maximum amount of products from the soil, Whether animal or vegetable, one must have the proper knowledge. There are many young men at the Farm studying the methods evolved from the experiences of many farmers and specialists in agri- cultural lines. Parallel with this they have the opportunity to put into practice these methods, because of the excellent facilities in the livestock, orchard mechanical, purely agricultural and many other lines of en- deavor that have generously been furnished by the people of the State. 0111' Picnic Day has come to be recognized as one of the big days of the year for the agricultural public. We have had in the past from ten to fifteen thousand visitors on that day. This year we hope to reach the climax of our endeavors, and give the farmers of our great State, and all others interested in agricultural achievement, an opportunity to View this institution, the University Farm, and see for themselves the progress it has Inade up to the present time, as well as the preparations for future expans1on, On this, our Picnic Day, we not only afford the people a View of What we are doing, but we earnestly hope it Will be a day on Which they may come and offer suggestions that Will bring us in a still closer relationship w1th those who actually till the soil. 112 l .
