SEED POTATOES
Tubers From High Yielding
Hills Should Be Saved for
Future Seed Supply
PRODUCING POWERS INHERITED
Yields May Be Greatly Increased BY
Following the Outlined Plan
of Selection.

Any person who has dug potatoes
oy hand can not but have noticed the
great variation In the number and size
of the tubers found in the individual
hills on the same piece Of ground.
While this variation may be due In
part to differences in soil fertility, soil
moisture, size OF seed piece, or free
dom from insect injury or disease,
much of the difference is due to the
inherent productive power OF the va
rious tubers from which were cut the
seed pieces that planted the various
hills.
The practical bearing OF this varia-
ton is very striking1y brought out by
the accompanying illustrations which
represent the product of some high
Welding and some low yielding hills

writer from three rows OF potatoes
grown at Morgantown. 1t took "a

Small, poorly equipped schools set
amidst desolate surroundings are
not factors conducive to good in
struction.
by frame buildings. Many old build
ings have given way to newer and
more modern buildings. One county
has 60 per cent of its schools built OF
brick-country schools, too. But I'M
fortunately many of our houses, built
within the last twenty years, are Of
the old-time chalk-box style of archi.
texture. There is no provision for
ventilation except by raising or lower
ing the windows. They are usually
without underpinning, often high of
the ground on the lower side. They are
far from what they should be and yet
they are better on an average than 20
years ago.
The equipment is little better than
20 years ago. There are found now
more globes, more charts, more libra
ries, more sand tables, and yet some
whole districts are without these nec-
essary tools of good school.
The length of term has been in
creased. Twenty years ago the aver
age length of term was a little over
four months. 1t is now very little over
six months.
No figures are at hand, showing
what the average daily attendance was
20 years ago, but it is certain enough
that our school attendance to-day is
very poor. Only about threefourths
Of the children enumerated get on the
rolls of the schools in any one year.
OF these a little over one-third, CTS
per cent, to be exact, attend regularly
every day. In other words, only about
half of the children between six and
twenty-one attend the schools regular
ly during the time when the schools
are in session.
One feature of the rural school Of
to-day deserves particular attention.
| refer to the rural school outhouses.
In the first place many OF them are
foul, scarcely fit for one to enter. In
the second place, many of them are
immoral. They are not sufficiently
we'll built and repaired to ensure pri-
vacy.
Whether rural schools are better or
not to-day than 20 years ago may not
make so much difference after all.
The important thing is that In these
schools we must educate our children,
II we educate them at all. And no
school can be too good for our chill
dren. If every citizen would for sim
gle year do all he could toward max
ing his school better, the schools
would be revolutionized and made the
best in the world. The great trouble
is that the average citizen is indiffer-
ent toward the rural schools. They
are allowed to drift along just as they
will. Now, readers, what have you
done? What can you dol. ]. HAM
fan, State Supervisor CT Rural Schools.
