The farmers life has cares and joys,
His work is long and hard and rough;
He slaves from dawn till after dark,
TO raise and grow and own enough.
But there's q bright side to his life,
His sorrows he can always drown
When, with his team, he's hired to haul
A busted auto back to town.

Soil Temperature and Seed Germina-
ton.


Scientists have discovered that the
lowest soil temperature at which the
process of growth begins In most cul-
tivated crops is 45 to 4S degrees Fab
renheit, but the maximum results are
attained only after the soil has reach
ed temperature of 6S to 70 degrees.
The termination Of wheat, rye, oats
and fax go forward most rapidly at
II to S7.S, and corn and pumpkins ger
inmate best at 92 to 101. Corn will
grow at temperature Of 81, requiring
eleven days to come through, while it
will germinate in three days at 65.3
degrees. Oats require seven days to
germinate at Al, whereas they will ger
inmate in two days at 65 degrees.
These facts emphasize the import
ance Of so cultivating the soil as TO
develop heat at the earliest possible
period. Our seep soils where irriga-
ton has played hob can not warm up
because they must first evaporate the
water. Sandy soils warm more quick
ly than adobe for reasons which every
body understands. The depth of plant
ing also has a great deal to do with
the termination, and we are hoping
that this spring will not linger long In
the lap of winter as was the case with
the last two or three seasons.-Denver

New Method of Keeping Potatoes.


A German publication, the Practical
Adviser in Fruit Raising and Garden
ing, states that new method for keep
ing potatoes and preventing sproutlng
consists in placing them on a layer OF
coke. DR.. Schiller, of Brunswick, who
has published the method, is OF the
opinion that the improved ventilation
by means of coke Is not alone RESPONSE
bic for the result, but believes that 1t
Is due to the oxidation of the coke.
which, however, Is very slow one
Coke always contains sulphur, and 1t
is very possible that the minute quan-
titles of oxides Of carbon and sulphur,
which result from the oxidation, mix
ing with the air and penetrating among
the potatoes are sufficient to greatly
retard sprouting. Potatoes so treated
are said to keep in good condition until
the following July.

SCHOOL BOARD
HOLDS NEE TING

The first session of the new Commits
sion of Public Instruction, which came
into being as the result of an act pass
ed by the last Legislature, was held in
yesterday morning. The full member
ship of the commission was an attend.
ance at the meeting-A. +. Judd and
Mrs. May Wilcox. of Oahu; John T..
Moir and Miss Ella H. Paris, of Ha-
waii w. H. Rice, of Kauai, and w. o.
Aiken, of Maui.
There was disposition upon the part
of the Commissioners to question the
wisdom of the Legislature in circum-
scribing the authority of the Commits
sion so, as COMMISSIONS Rice, of Kauai
expressed it, the members "could only
growl.'
Superintendent Babbitt, who is vest
ed with the title of executive officer of
the Commission, stated that, in his
opinion, the Legislature had made a
serious mistake in abolishing the Office
of Normal Inspector, and he presented
a plan by which he thought that the
handicaps could be overcome. His idea
is to have supervising principal
named, who would have authority over
all the school principals, and make
regular visits to all districts of the
Territory.
The opinion expressed by the Com
missioners was that too much author
ity has been delegated into the hands
of the County Supervisors in the mat
ter of school regulation and supervision
Superintendent Babbitt stated that
aside from the supervision over teach
ers the only authority possessed by the
Commission was distinctly of an ad
visory nature.
a resolution was prepared and passed
providing that all teachers shall draw
up a list of their requirements in ma
terials and supplies, and it was also
agreed that principals shall be provid
ed with blank forms on which to make
acquisitions to the department.
The system for the substitution of 6
supervising principal in place of tn,
Normal Inspectors will be arranged a
a January meeting.
