Sometimes they would slip. and the
horse would hold them up. and then
again they would reciprocate by hold

Practically All Of the Fifty Thousand
School Children In the National Capt..

When to Plant the Seeds.

With the first faint suspicion of
spring In the air the school children
of the country take renewed interest
In their nature study work. when
such study exists. and begin to look
forward hopefully to the time when
they can discard their books ard learn
their lessons about plants from nature
itself. This is one of the most inter-
esting phuses OF the school life OF the
children of many cities and towns
throughout the country-their out OF
doors nature study work. In Wash
ington the children from the low grades
up to the girls who are learning to
tench other children all have to do
some practical nature work. In the
winter months this takes the form Of
classroom work and lessons from text
books. But when spring comes these
are discarded. partially Mt least. and.
armed with hoes and rakes and the
other necessary requisites. they march
away to their gardens and miniature
farms and find out for themselves Just
how and why things grow.
Practically NIL of Washington's Co.
900 school children are learning to be
gardeners.
Much OF the work done In the green
house OF the department of agriculture
by the normal girls is planting and
growing plants for schoolroom study
and decoration. All the plants that
are used In the various graded schools
throughout the city IRE supplied from
this one source. The plants are grown
from cuttings or seeds In the fnll.
These nre carefully watched and tend.
ed during the winter months. and BY
the time spring arrives there are sew
erni thousand plants with which to
stock the school gardens or the school
rooms. Not only are window box

Strike on Southern Pacific r.
K. Settled.

The settlement of the strike
between the Southern Pacific r.
r. ca. and it's employees was
brought about Monday through
the efforts of the National Con-
Citation Board. and was a great
relief to the entire countryside.
The company yielded the main
point at issue through their de-
sire to save further losses to the
sugar and rice interests of the
state, and of course the strikers
look upon it as a decided victory.
The entire people of Louisiana
should feel deeply grateful for
the speedy termination of the
strike, as the effects were so tai
reaching that a prolonged tienp
would have been disastrous IN
the extreme.
The differences are to he dis
cussed between the company
management and a joint com
m;ttee of the four unions int
which the employees are divided
and all disputed points to b.
submitted to arbitration.
