 Iy Cheap Land Than Corn.

According to circular No. 113 of the Ohio station, one alfalfa grawer in Cler- mont. county, Ohio, upon relatively cheap land, reports the following com parison between the sales of a corn particular field was 5 years old:
 3S.33 bushel corn per acre O 70
 3.55 tons alfalfa per acre Q. $12.. 42.6O Gross profits in n 9or of alfalfa. .$15.77
 The labor cost for this season was s1 per acre for the alfalfa field. while the cost of the labor for the corn crop was not kept, owing to the mon> com plicated nature of the various opera tions involved, although it Is evident to any experienced farmer that 1t is sev- eraI times the cost of the hay crop. The above figures were based upon a 5-acre corn field and Az z-acre held Of all faIfa- Figures compiled by an official of the station show that If 142 fields Of corn aggregating 1939.A scres, grown in various parts of Ohio. the labor cost of growing an average acre was $1OSS. nthe same way 1t was ngureo the cost of harvesting 31 fields of alfalfa aggre- gating 14O.41 acres was S374 per acre. From a considerable smaller number of fields, regarding which 1t was possible to secure accurate figures, 1t was shown that the average cost of seeding an acre of alfalfa was $5.46.
 Another field of 19 acres in Athens county, seeded upon over blow land, was rented on the shares and the owners half was sold for s250 in the field. The following year the first three crops were contracted for $500 as they grew, with the option of the fourtn crop upon payment Of an ad- ditio-.. Sf00.

>DeS Moines, Sept. 13.-Only one
twelfth of those taking the examin-
alton for state teachers certificates in
August failed, according to the re-
port given out by the state superin-
tendent's office today. This is the
smallest per cent OF failures ever re-
corded in a state teachers examina-
ton and is. due, the state officials say.
to the new normal training law which
requires teachers who are to take ex-
aminations to have at least twelve
weeks of normal training before taking
the examination. Heretofore about
one-fifth of those taking the examin-
atfons have failed.
There We're 52S August examinations
and forty-four failures. There were
4O1 certificates issued and seventy
eight of those taking the examination
have not entirely completed their work.
Assistant State Superintendent Jo-
seph believes this new normal train
ing law will raise the standard of Iowa
teachers materially. He favors a law
here similar 10 that of Maine where
one year in advance of high school
work is required Of those who would
become teachers before they can take
the examinations for state certificates.
Disresarding Requirements.
1t is not always so easy to find
teachers in Iowa, however, who have
taken this normal training work, and
some boards, in their anxiety to secure
teachers, are disregarding the irequire-
ment. In fourteen counties of the state
where examinations are to be held Sept.

waived for these counties are short

them.
IF school people will have little
patience in our putting this law in OPP
GRAFTON they will find it will work out
to the benefit Of our schools" said AS
sistant Superintendent Joseph. THE
great trouble in this state is that we
have too many teachers who have not
had sufficient preliminary training. This
twelve weeks normal training can be
secured at number of the colleges
of the state and those who would be-
come teachers can find it compare lively
