The following historical sketch OF

illuminating;
The Irish potato was first dis
covered growing wild in central
America. The exact date of the
discovery is uncertain but il was
well known 10 the natives at the
time Of the conquest of Mexico

ing all the states expenditures
for lis schools.
Contemplated legislation Is also
handled In the same manner, by
the one board, which determines
its course Of action from previous
conferences with the county
superintendents and at state
teachers associations. The finan-
cial saving in managing all insti-
tutions under one board and the
employment Of uniform business
methods is one Of the quickest
benefits 10 be discerned IN the
Idaho plan. The biennial report
presented 10 the Legislature COW
ers the whole school system from
the elementary school to the uni
versity and takes the place of
what formerly was put in seven
volumes. Catalogues and bull

state institutions under one cover,

which involve the pooling Of

state. A uniform system Of ac-
counting which prevents the in
curing of deficiencies through
accounting has been
and no institution IS
permitted to become involved III a
deficiency.
Under the Idaho plan the ele-
schools are being stand
ardized throughout the state BY /
prescribing a minimum course of
study. Special attention has been 4
given in small schools TO safe

ter the discovery. before il was

introduced into France and culti-
waited for the bloom, and the bou-
quets were sold at fabulous prices.
II was introduced into Ireland

ter Raleigh in 1910 and the fact

Ireland gave it the name Of Irish
potato.
The potato is the poor mans
food and it is claimed that It
would be better for one-haIf Of the
human family to be swept away
by pestilence that to lose the seed
of the Irish potato.
The potato IS not a root but
tnber and degenerates very fast,
so fast, that it would have run out
and become extinct long ago, but
right here nature comes to the
rescue. God has fixed the laws Of
nature so she can work out her
own problem and take care Of
herself.
Great care should be taken in
selecting land for potato culture.
II should be sandy loan with a |
mixture of clay and contain a |
large amount of fertilizer, and |
even then, IN time the fubers win |
begin TO seab more or less.
