SCHOOLS TEST FARMERS, SEEDS,

If Oklahoma has bumper crops this
year 1t will be due in considerable
measure othe direct aid rendered the
farmers BY the schools. Throughout
the state the teachers and pupils have
been Systematically letting seeds for
the planters in their respective COM
munities, according to informal ton re-
ceived at tho United States Bureau Of
edocatioa. Every teacher in the stare
has received from State Superintend-
ent Wilson scoring sheet on which
to record the tests. Seed from last
years crop is reported to be particu-
larfy unreiiabi and agricultural ex
perts say there is special need this
year for some such direct service as
the schools have offered.
No movement has been started in
our state which can result in as much
good with so little cost to the people
generally" declares Mr.. Wilson. 1T
will not only be financial benefit to
the farmer by teaching him to plant
none but good seed, but 1t is Of dis
einct educational value to the chill
dren. 1t furnishes one of the best les
sons that can be taught in botany or
agriculture. and affords the opportun-
ity to come in closer contact with ev-
cry farmer in the community, a thing
which all good teachers are anxious TO
do
IF the tests are properly made and
the information followed by the farm
ers, the results should be remarkable
The lessons taught can be applied year
after year and constantly improved up

seeds Of any kind whatsoever will be

A CENSUS EVIDENCE.
yDubu0ue Tfmes.JournAl1

The taking OF the census OF Iowa
next year is expected to effectively
settle the question as to whether OF
not the state is continuing to suffer a
loss of population. 1t is hard to be-
lieve Iowa is still losing in popula-
ton. The strongest reason for this
belief rs the fact that the school
houses of the state are more crowded
now than ever before. If anything we
have more school houses than at any
time in the history OF the state, bu'
the number is insufficient for the num-
Der of students.

SOME CRASHING OF TEETH.
Manson Democrat

Manson DeINOcrdt.J
The Ottumwa Review thinks the
Eighth district democrats are getting
more than their share of the Iowa fed
eral patronage and cites the following
good offices that have been given
them: Claude r. Porter, district at
torney; Gus Niemeyer. collector of
customs; J. F. McGinty. income tax
collector; j. W. Porterf1eld, deputy in
come tax collector: w. D. Perkins.
deputy income tax collector; w. Elk
line, deputy United States marshal.
This makes six good plums dropped
into Eighth district hands. while the
big Tenth has been given only one,
that of assistant district attorney.
handed to Grover Neese, of Hamilton
county. The Eleventh district wau
given the district attorneyship, but 1t
was taken away from them and given
20 the Fourth district. The Fifth dis
.rict has been given the United States
marshalship, if Mr.. Moore can succeed
in being confirmed by the senate. The
lions share Of the northern district
offices have gone to the Third district.
There Is not much being said about
the one man dictation In this district
vet. but much will be said-and done
"a little later on. The democrats OF
northern Iowa are not yet ready to
submit to the yoke of q petty dictator.

AFTER THE BOARD, WHAT?

iowa lily SlllAcu.l
II the general debate over the gov
eminent Of the state schools. which
il bound to come. results In a legis-
lative conviction that the system IS
wrong, and unworkable what should
be the next move? What has any one
to propose that would improve the
situation?
The idea Of the one board plan was
to harmonic the work Of the three
schools. and particularly to abolish the
necessity Of a decision by the legisla-
ture between the askings of each one
for appropriations.
Two big obstacles have arisen I'M
der the new system It rs difficult for
a member OF an honorary board to
familiarize himself with the needs Of
any Of the schools. The new law mas
multiplied that difficulty by three, and
developed It into an impossibility. Any
member of the board will agree to that
statement
The result is that the finance COM
mittee has been much more than it,
name. implied. It has. perhaps neces-
sarily under the system. developed into
an advisor Of the board in multitude
Of matters not contemplated by the
legislature to be within the scope OF
the duties Of q finance committee.
But. what system should take its
place. IL It shall appear that the sys-
tenn. as much or more than the men.
is to be blamed? o
A suggestion made last winter was
the abolition Of the finance commit
tee. the assignment to each Of the
three schools Of three members OF the
honorary board Of nine, to govern
them az to the old boards Of trustees
and regents did, the entire board to
meet only to harmonize the askings
before the legislature The admins
trativs work would then be conferred
in the presidents and other officers OF
each school, as under the old system
It might be worth while to think
about this, with other plans, now that
the question ts up.

HASN'T "SKIDDOOED" YET.
Manson Democrat.

BY the way. The Democrat is twenty
three years old this week. having been
established April /. 1881. At that time
it was considered an April fool JOKE
and the Lord only knows what it Is
considered now. "Annyhow." as Dooley
says. it is, here yet and that is some
thing to be proud Of. And we know
there is money in It. for We've sunk a
lot in it, but we are going to chance
few more buckets of gold in the project
before we throw up our hands. 1t is
quite fitting to have the newspaper
brethren in Manson this week. so they
can help us celebrate our twenty-third
birthday-and there Is not the least
doubt that they will help with all their
might. But twenty-three years Is a
long time for democratic newspaper
to live in republican county. isn't it :?
