planted last year by the side of com
mon stock, or seed which had been
grown in the ordinary way. There
are "a tenth-acre plots in each series
Of the three-year rotation. potatoes
wheat-clover. The plots are 272 feet
long and 16 feet wide, which permits
five rows of potatoes in each plot. The
first three rows in each plot were
planted with seed tubers from the
July planted stock and the other two
with the ordinary seed This method
precluded the possibility of any un-
equal effect upon the various plots by
using two lots of seed
The potatoes were all the same va
riety and were all planted the same
day. The plants grown from July
sun-sprouted seed appeared nearly
two weeks in advance of the others
and maintained quite a noticeable diff
ference until they we're of large size.
In fact SO noticeable was the differ
ence In the vigor and increased size
OF the plants that the casual observer
would stop and remark and the more
interested one would inquire into the
details of the method Many thought
that the two parts of the plots were
planted at different dates or possibly
we're OF different varieties Let 1t be
understood that this particular seed
was not sprouted but that the crop
was raised from sprouted seed. which
had been planted the first of July the
year previous The season was not a
good one, serious inroads being made
by the fusarfum wilt, which seriously
impaired the results, but an increased
yield and higher per cent of germina-
ton we're constant throughout the
plats, in favor Of the sun-sprouted
seed The total average results are
as follows: Late grown (number OF
hills per row.: 1854; common seed,

mination): common seed, 1913; late
grown (average yield of pounds per
row.: 1854; common. 646.

The subject taken up for study and
discussion was "Child Study" The

many helpful suggestions for. mothers.
Teaching of Sex Hygiene in School
by Mrs. Lennon was very instructive
and the subject was discussed freely,
some thinking it should and others that
it should not be so taught. The sub
jects Conservation of Child Life" by
Mrs. Mulvaney and ''Child Labor" by
Mrs. Fagin, were not given. Quite a
number were present and all very much
interested in the program. After the
program the hostesses served dainty

so that breeding places for flies and
disease germs may be destroyed.
Now, therefore, I, M. Alexander,
governor of Idaho, in order to encour-
age and promote a better observance

fort possible toward the removal of
the winters accumulation of debris
and filth, cleansing and renovating
their premises, thus adding not alone
to the health of the state and its sew
eral communities, but likewise in
creasing the. beauty of each citizens
surroundings and the attractiveness
of Idaho as place Of residence.
In testimony whereof, have here
unto set my hand and caused the
great seal of the state of Idaho to be
affixed this 10Th day of January,
