SCHOOL VENTILATION.
Cloth Screens Take Place Of Glass
Windows In New System.

IN NEW system.
A way to ventilate schoolrooms with
out giving the pupils colds has been
tried successfully in Syracuse. N. Y.
by John B. Todd. NJ. D.. and is de-
scribed by him in the New York Med
ical Journal.
In these fresh air s~choolrooms'' the
lower sash is raised in four or five win
dows and the opening fitted with a
wood frame covered with medium
weight unbleached sheeting. The room
in which the experiment was first tried
had five 80 by 40 inch windows facing
the east. Steam pipes extended across
the oom under the windows. and a hot
air inlet thirty inches square was on
the north side. midway from the floor
to the ceiling. with an exit opening Of
the same size lear the floor.
In the morning before the school
opened the would be warmed by
hot air driven by a fan. When school
began this hot air inlet would be closed
and all the windows opened. so that
there would be fifty square feet Of
open window space guarded by the

A useful tip for diagnosing sticky

with an extra air valve is as follows:
When running downhill with the air
valve full open a sticking inlet or ex-
haust valve is easily noticed by the
irregular hiss produced by the enter

On some of the lighter drills a breast

On heavier types a bracket or "old

SPLENDID GROWTH
OF FRUIT INDUSTRY

| indicating remarkable growth Of
the fruit raising in San Juan and
| Whatcom counties, comprising Hor-
ticultural district No. l of the state
Of Washington, the report of {. f.
Flint, district horticultural inspec-
tor, has been compiled and made
public. The report shows that dur
ing tbe year 1913 a total of 49,
! 946 fruit trees We're planted in the
district, an increase of S,653 over
1912. During the year, SGS01 ber-
ry plants of various varieties We're
Skipped into the district as nursery
stock and planted by the farmers.
In addition, los nut trees, l4l
grape vines and 1850 shrubs and
ornamental trees were shipped IN
to the district in 1913.
AT the present time q total of
201. 479 fruit trees are living in the
district. according to report. Or
this number the largest single num-
Der of trees is the apple, lis, 166
trees of this variety having been
planted. There are also 40,4S0
pear trees, 9,46S cherry trees, 49,
272 plum trees, 6,5S9 peach frees,
3S4 apricot trees and $40 ounce
trees III the district.
In 1913, there were shipped into
the district as nursery stock, =
$50 apple trees, 16,1 43 pear trees,
1893 cherry trees, IL 1870 plum trees.
$50 peach trees, SO apricot and sc
ounce trees. This makes a Total
of 32,946 as compared with 24,293
in 1912. 81 ,096 in 1911 and 1921
in 1910. There are 1O9,613 fruit
trees in the district that have been
planted for four years or more.
rhe report shows that in The last
four years 81, S66 fruit trees have
been planted in the district, which
is only 17,747 less than have been
planted in all the preceding years
of the districts history.
The report does not deal with
berry plants other than those that
were shipped into the district, but
ii is believed that this is not near
ly all the plants that were set out,
as many growers set out plants
of their own growing.
Inspector Flint calls attention to
the fact that the acreage Of small
fruits has greatly increased dur
ing the past season. Six canneries
were in operation in the district
during the canning season.
In concluding his report 1nspec-
tor Flint says: The greatest prob
lem we have today is not how TO
grow larger crops, but to sell what
we raise to better advantage. Dis
tribution is the great question and
il seems to me that our department
can we'll afford to spend some lime
in the solution of that problem"

ONIONS FROM SEED

A correspondent to one of our val ued exchanges gives the following plan for raising onions from the seed;
 I have been raising onions rom the seed and making a success. of it for l5 years. I live in southeast Arkan. sas and will give my methods and any one who will try can succeed. The most important item is early planting.
 As soon after Christmas as possible to have the land in good shape l plant. Select Q good fertile piece of land as free from weed seeds as pos sible; broadcast it with stable ma nure, chicken droppings, etc. and blow and harrow it thoroughly. It is very essential 10 make the soil rich and mellow. Lay off 18 inches apart and plant seed at rate of one ounce eo every 100 feet of row. Cover the seed lightly and use light seed rol. Ter to leave the rows smooth and nice. If few radish seed are dropped along it will serve to keep the rows marked until onions come up, which
 
 The first workings will be by hand If you have no hand-weeder an iron spoon makes a good one. Never let the weeds get ahead at the second working thin 10 three inches apart in rows and apply a light dressing of some commercial fertilizer or cotton seed meal, working it in well; keep ground loose and mellow and weeds down and you will have fine large onions. That will keep much better than onions raised from sets. They are as easy to raise also, with the exception of the first hand-working, as to varieties I find that Yellow Danvers and Red Wethersfield are the best for this climate. I sometimes plant Silver skin for white onion but 1t is liable to mildew and does not give the profit of the first two men, toned. When the tops begin to die down pull up and leave ill rows to cure but do not let them get wet; spread on a floor in a cool place and do not top them until ready to sell. They bring 5 per bushel all the time. always sell soon after gathering as there is always then a scarcity of on. ions since there are no Northern on. .eHs on~thc market at .that tine. It is best to order your seed of a relia- ble scotsman as. there Is no crop grown in which the seeds count more than in onion raising. good land, good seed early planting and good culti- vating, will raise fine onions. In this climate they must be made before June or the hot sun will kill the tops down. leaving you "sets" instead of ] ane onions. Plant good seed and plant early and you can raise fine onions in the South from black seed.

ALASKAN RAILWAY
 BILL IS NOW LAW
President Wilson Says He Is "Ex- tending the Hand of Real
 Helpfulness. "

Washington, March 12.-Presi- dent Wilson today extended what he termed "the hand of real help fulness and brotherhood to Alas ka," when he signed the bill auth orizing the expenditure of $35,000,- 900 for the first government-oWn- ed railroad constructed by the United States.
 Secretary Lane, a group of sen ators and representatives and members of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce stood beside the president as he signed the act.
 The president was in a happy mood, and in laying one souvenir pen aside to use another, smiling ly remarked:
 'I'll change engines"
 When the bill had been signed, the president made a brief speech.
 Secretary Lane afterward had a long talk with the president about the selection of engineers. It is unlikely that Colonel Goethals will be through with the Panama ca nal in time for the present under taking, which MT. Lane intends to get into operation at once.
 The secretary said the enact ment of the railroad bill will be followed by the passage of the Alaska leasing bill, which would mean the carrying out of the ad- ministration plan for the depart ment of. Alaska in an incredibly short time. He added that an at tempt would be made to gather the working force this year.

 There are now more than 1500 students enrolled in the four ag- ricultural schools in Arkansas. These schools are doing a good work for the farmers, and if the Farmers Union never did anoth- CT thing, it tis entitled to the last ing gratitude of every farmer for having started the agitation and kept up the fight for the es- tablishment of these schools un- til they were secured.
The Newark journal., 1914-03-20

The following editorial is clip ped from the last issue of Bryan's Commoner, and is a fair indica- ton of what Bryan thinks of Congressman Oldfeld's vote on the Alaskan railroad bill: The government will build a line of railroad in Alaska largely because the people have outgroWn the idea that it is good policy to per init private capital to do what they can do better themselves. In the sixties the government built the Pacific railroads and then turned them, along with millions of acres of land, to private own ership. It will keep the one in Alaska, after it has built it, and will also reap the profits from the increased value of lands along the line that it was once thought was necessary to give away in order to get a road built" :"
