u. P. EXTENSION
SCHOOL ORGANIZES
Constitution Adopted and Officers
Will Be Elected at Meeting
Next Wednesday

Ira L. Gordon, of the bridge and
construction department of the Penn
sylvania Steel Company, has been ap-
pointed temporary chairman on or
ganization of the Harrisburg Exten-
sion School of the University of Penn
sylvania. He recently appointed a
constitutional committee including the
following men:
George w. Hill, Jr., Harrisburg
Technical High School: p. A. Fishel,
Harrisburg Central High School, Sam

street; George II. Writ, State Depart
ment of Forestry; Roy G. Mumma,
Hershey, Pa; Harry f. McFadden,
1OS North Second street; Raymond S.

This committee last night sub
mitted a constitution which was read
and adopted unanimously after few
changes. According to the constitu-
ton. the organization shall be known
as the Harrisburg Wharton Extension
vides that there shall be elected a
president, three e-presidents, a sec
retary, a sreasurr, an advisory COM
mittee of seven and a cheer leader. In
addition the president has the power
to appoint any other necessary COM
mittees, and in view of the fact that
the school has already been invited
to play the Philadelphia evening
school a series of basketball games,
it is quite possible that the president,
soon to be elected, will Immediately
appoint an athletic committee to look
after the schools athletics.
Professor Wendell p. Raine, who
paid the school a visit last night, stated
that the Scranton and Wilkes Barre
schools weer already organized along
literary, debating, athletic. social pub
/ licity and other lines, and were very
anxious to have a series of debates,
basketball and baseball games with
the Harrisburg school before the close
of the college year.
Nominations for officers will be re-
ceived next Wednesday evening, No

How to Produce Good
Seed Irish Potatoes

Washington, April 1l.-This
is the season Of the year when
the farmer should pay particular
attention to seed potatoes, eau
tions the department Of agricul.
ture, and the use of high grade
seed would increase the returns
from the potato crop Of the coun
try by many millions of dollars
A conservative estimate Of the
increase that might be expected
from the use of high-grade seed
is certainly not less than 10 pei
cent. Such an increase based on
the average production of the
past five years would amount to
"a, 900, 900 bushels. having an ap

Stock on tho farm means even
more than these things We have
hastily named. One Of theques.
tons over which the entire ma
ton 10 worrying, ia how to keep
the young men and women on
the farm. No child life is com.
plete without growing animals.
The child takes deep interest in
the calf, the colt or the little
pig. They aid in making the
farm attractive. Those of Us
who were born and raised on Q
farm look back to our earliest
recollections. and invariably find
them connected with farm ami.
mails. Anything which makes
the farm both q delight and a
profit to the new generation will
keep the boy and girl there
where they can carry on a noble
work and reap an adequate re-
Turn for their labor.
What is the precise situation
todayP The tendency of the
market is toward younger, small.
er stock. Twenty years ago, TOP
prices were paid for the heaviest
steers and hogs. 1t is not so to.
day. So the market cries for
smaller animals, and that in.
wolves more of them, smaller
feeding hills and a shorter time
from birth to market. Average
prices are high. We see nc
probability of any general de.
cline, and must look for higher
ones if the meat famine grows.
Yet conditions are lot going
to be as favorable for the new
stock grower 10 q few years Of
they are today. Pure bred ami
mails are not held for as high
prices as they will be. This il

The man who commences now
and sticks to it will reap the
largest percentage of profits and
the greatest rewards. He will

he did. Every material factor
indicates that it will pay better
from now on to raise good live
stock on high priced land.
Stock is recognized nova days
as the best farm security. Live

in every degree. Live stock il

little attention to his seed pota
toes.
The European grower, especi
ally those of great Britain and
Germany, pay very strict atten-
tion to the quality and quantity
Of seed they use. This has led
to the differentiation of the po.
tato industry into seed and crop
specialties. The seed specialist
makes q business Of producing
a high grade table potato. No
snch differentiation, at least to
the same extent occurs in this
country. While it is true that
in certain sections there,is q well
developed seed potato growing
industry, but comparatively few
growers in these sections are pay.
ing sufficient attention to the
elimination of diseased and IN.
productive strains, or to keeping
the variety grown free from mix
ture with other varieties.
BY far the simplest and most
promising means of developing
high grade seed potatoes is that
of the tuber-unit and hill-selec'
tion methods. The former con,
sists in selecting from the seed
bin before planting time a con.
siderable number of the most
perfectly shaped tubers of from
6 to 8 ounces in weight. When
planted these tubers are quarter
ed, as dropped, into 4 as nearly
equal parts as possible. This is
done by splitting the bud,eye
cluster in each direction from
seed to stem end of the tuber
The 4 pieces of each tuber ar
dropped consecutively in theroN
at q distance Of from 10 to l:
inches apart in the furrow. AL
tubers showing discoloration O
the flesh or other evidence of di
seass should be rejected.
By allowing an additional
space between each set of tours
the four plants from each tube
are definitely isolated from ad
joining ones, and the grower cal
readily observe any variation il
vigor and uniformity between
the units planted. This method
also enables him to detect any
mixtures that may occur in thu
variety.
At digging time the prodnc
of each unit is separately har
vested, and q further selection
made foom the marked units o
all those which most nearly ap
proach the size, shape an(
smOothness desired. The select
ed tubers should be Numbered
with both field and unit nun
bers and separately placed il

Farmers Letter.
~ CAPT. 7. r. PECK

We have urged the farmers to
raise more live stock end better
live stock for We believe that
there IL no branch of agricultur.
al Industry which will brihg such
sure and large returns or which
will build 90 the farm on such a
substantial aud permanent ba.
ala.
As time goes by We feel that
eyon more emphasis 10 needed
on the stock end Of farming.
Conditions were never more
favorable than they are now for
this branch OF the industry and,
and believe, they will never be
moro 30 In the future.
Population 10 increasing all
the time, yht the mea. supply is
not even holding its own. This
10 true not only 10 the United
States but sll over the habitable
globe. The removals of tariffs
on meat is not going to effect
prices seriously nor for any length
Of time. Until supply passes de.
mand, prices on meat animals
ere going TO be high enough to
afford q big profit to the man
who raises them.
We consider land values 10 the
country as high today. With.
out livestock, prices on land are
going to fall. Without stock,
the products Of the soil do not
reach their highest value; this
in itself will bring lower prices.
Add to that, the reduced fertili.
ty brought about by constan Mt
CROPPING and it is not hard to see
ahead to the day When the land
in this country will be barren,
impoverished and of little
worth. This Ia not an attrac-
tive nor q desirable picture. The
keeping of stock 10 greater
quantities will prevent a shrink
age of farm land prices and will
make 1t mork valuable.
There are two good reasons
Why the farmer should raise
m re stock. The first is that il
will pay him larger, surer and
more constant returns. The sec.
ond is that it is a sacred duty to
himself, his children and his
country.
1t will pay him, because de.
mahd Is increasing and supply is
decreasing; because feeding
stock from the direct products of
the soil is the most economical
way to market them, because
stock utilize waste on the farms
because they condense values
because their value fluctuates
less than grain or other plant
life; because they can be mark Ell
more easily aud convenient
ly; because they add riches t.
the soil instead of taking il
away.
II is his duty, because stock
furnishes soil fertility; soil fer
tility is the foundation of agri
cultural prosperity, and agricul
tural prosperity is the basis Of
general prosperity. Without
etock, the farm and the farmer
degenerates he leaves his farm
worse of instead Of better off
when he passes it on to his chill
dten. The demand upon thu
farmer today is not for more
grain, but for more pork; more
mutton, more dairy products. L
is right that he should NEE
such demands, for they ar,
founded on real need.
We want the farmer to realiz,
