Regarding the school libraries, especially
those of the country districts.
James M. Greenwood, superintendent of
Schools, Kansas City, Mo. gave some in
teresting experiences with the likes and
disllkes of children regarding reading,
and some very practical suggestions with
reference to books to be used in school
libraries.
j. N. Wilkinson of Emporia, Kas., presi
dent of the library department, made an
interesting address, supplementing that
Of the preceding speaker.
j. M. Quinn, member of the board of
education of Los Angeles. spoke on the
libraries of the schools from the stand
point of member of the board and also
from that of a former teacher, suggesting
that the proper caution be taken not to
allow the library to be chosen from the
preferences of any one person.
The advisability of introducing library
training department in the normal schools
was also advised as one of the necessary
moves to broaden the school field.
The session of the library department
for 1907 closed with a short address by the
president, outlining in brief the work that
had been accomplished.
John r. Kirk of Sirksville, Mo-, was
elected president of the library depart
ment for the ensuing year.

at is not the design that all the above
mentioned be introduced at one time in q

because of their possibility. AS many
phases of work as possible should be
given the child during the elementary
school period. The hand receives a
broader, more sensitive training.

SCHOOL LIBRARIES SHOULD
BE CHOSEN IN VIEW OF
USE RATHER THAN DESIRE

The library and school administration
departments were scheduled to join forces
yesterday morning in a session to be held
in the Alhambra hall. The library de-
partment was present and carried out its
part of the program, but the school ad-
ministration department did not make its
appearance and delayed the session con-
siderably.
The school administration department
was to have opened the session, the
library department presiding officer to
arrive after an executive session, conse-
quently those who gathered for the open
ing of the session were compelled to wait
about one hour before the opening.
Many helpful suggestions We're made

What Is a Watt?

In the electrical world one reads and
hears great deal about watt" The
current is measured by watts; lamps
burn by watts. To the ordinary lay
man this talk of watts" is as mystify-
ing as the death of the late Akhood OF
Swat.
The man to whom we owe the idea
of horsepower was Scottish inventor
James Watt, and when the electric unit
involving the idea Of working capacity
came to be formulated the name OF
Watt was chosen to indicate this unit,
Just as that Of Volta has given US the
term volt and Faraday the farad.
Watt considerd that taking the ave
rage, London dray horse was capable
of doing the work Of lifting $4,000
pound through foot Of distance in one
minute of time, against gravity. The
introduction of his time limit, the
minute, gave the unit of power or the
rate of performing work. This or Its
equivalent has ever since been called a
horsepower.
The electrical unit called the Watt
is capable of being presented In terms
of the horsepower, and in that torm 1t
is perhaps Ineligible to those who are
familiar with mechanical rather than
with electrical expression. The cleo
trical Watt is the product Of volts mul-
tiplied by amperes, where the volt Is
unit measuring the density or volume
of an electrical current.
Careful experiments have demon
strated that TAO watts per second are
equal to $50 foot-pounds per second
or to state the question in its usual form
TAG watts equal one horse power. Inc
form in which electrical power is gener'
allv sold is computed on the bases o
lilowatt-hours. The prefix kilo comes
from the Greek Chillioi, one thousand
A kilowatt written also k. W., is there

bought the apples in an orc hard in this
county.
Finer conditions for an orchard could
not be found, he said. Twenty-Five acres
of level land, capable of being irrigated,
large trees of the best shipping varieties
located near a railroad stati n, and easy
of access. From this orchard, easily
producing IS carloads of fine shipping
apples, not more then one carload is
saleable. Cooling moth and other pests
have made unsaleable an amount OF ap-
plies, at the present market price, that
causes one to open their eyes, when
the loss is realized. And when the paltry
sum of$250 would be an ample amount
to pay for the spraying the loss seems
to be the result of wanton carelessness.
Fifteen carloads OF apples would be
at least 5000 boxes. At $1.50 each,
the brice paid for shipping apples, the
owner would receive $13, 500 for crop
instead of 5000 for the one carload that
is fit for sale. Deducting the $3.50 for
the spraying from the $13,500 leaves
$13,25O and the 5000 he receives from
the sum of $13,350 represents the
loss to him for this one season alone.
All on a account OF neglect to spray at
the proper time.
This probably one of the worst ex-
amples of carelessness in the care of an
orchard, but it is common fault with
fault growers in the county today and
many of them would easily at least
double their bank account if they were
not so careless about the cultivation oil
the orchard, picking, sorting, and
packing fruit.
The sum of $13,250 to be made on
one crop Of apples seems almost a;
good as gold mine.

Will you help us do little boost
ing? We desire to issue, sometime
after the first of the year, a special
illustrated edition of the News. This
issue will be devoted to Troy, the
Potlatch and Latah county. An effort
will be made to fully cover every line
Of industry and to fill the pages with
facts and figures regarding the soil,
climate, productiveness and resources
Of this great section. We expect to
illustrate this edition, giving pictures
Of some Of our best farms, and personal
writeups of our most prominent, pros
porous and progressive farmers. In
fact the paper will be devoted almost
entirely to the farmers.
Will you help? Will you give ii
your support and encouragement We
cannot do this, however much we
would like, unless the people help

Troy Prunes.

F. M. Green has completed packing
this years crop of dried prunes and has
eighteen tons, or eight tons more than
he anticipated at the beginning of the
season. The quality is excellent and
Mr.. Green, who is one of the best
prune men in the country, is prepared
to supply the trade with high grade
goods. The prune contains a large
percentage of nutriment, being high in
sugar. and is one of the best foods on
the market today. The retail price OF
dried prunes is around five cents per
pound, making them one OF the best
and cheapest foods obtainable. Some
have attempted to make fun of the
prune. and have said sighting things
about people who eat them, but just
the same there would be more healthy
people if they would eat more prunes
and less Of the questionable mixtures
sold over the counters of the grocery
stores. The News would like to assist
in the upbuilding Of the prune industry
in this section and would suggest that
others assist by occasionally getting
full of Troy dried prunes. They are
the best on the market. Get busy and
become a booster.

TO SPRAY OR NOT TO SPRAY, WHICH !?
Let the Experience the Past Season be the Toatc Farmers Have
Lost Large Sums Through Ngleence--Th The Same is True
of the WaIa WaIa Valley Fruit Growers

The news is no longer in doubt as to
the wisdom of the Idaho Legislature in
passing the present strict horticultural
law, or fruit inspection measure. 1t is
one of the best law on our statues, and
ought to be regidly enforced. This
opinion is based upon the experience
of the apple growers of this section,
where there is, this season, loss to
the farmers tributary OF Troy OF probably
$4,000. The actual figures would be
more apt 10 increase than decrease this
estimate. AS an example of what good
apples mean, and the money they have
this year brought, let us cite the case
of Lee Carlton, who has sixty acre
apple orchard south Of Troy on American
ridge. Mr.. Carlton has always sprayed.
He has made study Of the apple and
has stuck to it when his neighbors were
discouraged and were pulling up there
trees. Mr.. Carlton continued to fight
Codling moth. Science finally dis
covered the remedy and Mr.. Carlton
applied the sprays honestly. What is
the result? He has always had the
best apples in this section. If any one
could dispose of their fruit it was Lee
Carlton. He has harvested and sold
his 1907 crop. 1t was almost clean
from worms and extra choice, there be-
ing at least o5 per cent perfect fruit.
Eastern buyers flooded him with orders,
and he sold his crop for $4,000. OF thi:
Mr.. Carlton says at least $4,000 is clean
profit. The apples brought $1.50 pei
box fob. Troy.
But Mr.. Carlton could not fill hi
orders. Other eastern buyers wanted
fruit. One of these friend of San
Bigham of American ridge, wrote from
Troy weekly news. (Troy, Idaho) 1897-1933, 1907-11-15
Tar Plant to Start.

The tar plant is to be started up
early the coming week, and will then
operate steadily. A market for the
product has been found and little
doubt is entertained as to the profitable
outcome of the venture. 1t is quite
certain that stock will jump to dollar
within a very few days. Those in a
position to know predict that stock
will not be for sale at any price, the
dividends that are certain making 1t
worth something. like $40 per share.
It is estimated that the charcoal alone
will pay all operating expenses.

Merysville, Kansas, and offerd $1.5O
per box for good apples. They even
sent money here for Mr.. Bigham to
use. Mr.. Bigham visited his neighb-
ors, some of whom had large orchards
loaded with fine looking apples. For
size and color these orchards were above
the requirements of the eastern buyers.
But these orchards were not sprayed.
They just "growed up" What was the
result? Examination showed that not
one in ten of these fine looking apples
was free from worms. The crop, worth,
if good, thousands Of dollars, was total
loss. Failure to spray has cost Ameri-
can ridge farmers sum Of gold that is
sufficiently large to make the most
skeptical stop and think.
1t has also been demonstrated that
one unsprayed orchard will infect other
orchards, even where SPRAYED. If you
have an unsprayed orchard adjoining
you will never be able to produce much
perfect fruit. This has been demon
strated beyond doubt b, Mr.. Carlton
and other growers. 1t has satisfied US
that the law compelling the 81 raging of
orchards is a most excellent one, and
that it is better to dig an orchard up
than to permit it to go unsprayed.
That other sections have found this
true is proven beyond question. From
a recent issue of the Walla Walla Bull
letin we clipped the following article on
this point:

time honored proverb is not sufficient
application for losses to some of the
