POTATO ASSOCIATIONS
FORMED BY
COUNTY AGRICULTURISTS

Ten of the County Agricultural Agents
of Michigan have formed County Potato
AnGciations in their counties. These
organizations are for the purpose of
getting the united action OF the farmers
of the County upon the more important
problems of the growing and marketing
of potatoes. Among the potato growing
states Michigan ranks second, but the
future of the industry will depend large
ly upon the associated efforts of our
potato growers. The profits OF this
crop now depend largely upon coopera-
ton. In these counties where associa-
tons have been formed the farmers
agree to produce only pure varieties OF
the type that is in greatest demand by
our best markets. These potatoes are
then inspected at various times through
out the season for the purpose of keep
ing the varieties pure and also for the
purpose of keeping them free from the
more serious potato diseases. There is
a rapidly-growing demand for. disease
free potatoes for seed. In addition to
this there is great need for our potato
growers to act together for the preven-
tion of the spread of potato diseases.
These diseases may be spread by ship
\ments of seed from other states or by
Sc of diseased seed grown in this State
'Sr within the County. If we are to stay
in the potato business we must keep
out the diseases that are destroying the
industry in other places. BY concerted
action in getting pure varieties and
keeping them free from disease the
growers are in position not only to get
good yields but also to sell in the best
markets. The best markets want
medium size potatoes of certain type
and color. If the growers act together
they can supply these markets in car
load lots and in addition TO this they
will be in position to enter the best
seed markets of the South and other
portions of the country wanting Michi-
gan potatoes for seed.

ENCOURAGING BIRD LIFE
By Observer

One of the most worthy movements
in the United States today is that one
tending to promote an awakening
among children of the beauty and
preservation of bird and other wild life
In neighboring city an enterprising
business firm recently conducting a
contest for boys in which cash prizes
were awarded TO" the building of bird
houses. Even the promoters were sur
prised at the number of boys entering
the contest, and, every visitor to the
place when the contest was ended was
more than surprised at the workman
ship resulting from the boys efforts.
The promoters, after the contest had
closed and the prizes were awarded,
offered the houses for sale and netted a
sum equal or greater than the aggre.
gate sum offered as prizes. Needless
to say, that city will this summer have
hundreds of well built and ornamental
bird houses that it never would have
had only for the contest put on by that
one enterprising business firm.
Any boy can build bird house, and
every yard in our city shonld have one
or more of them. Watering places, toe
can be provided, and when these sim
pie inducements are offered, the birds
will come. Some of us think we do not
care whether there is a bird in the city,
but if we had none, we should miss
them just as we miss many things when
they are gone and cannot be recalled.

lending his weight to the nationwide
movement meeting the school boards
and learning their problems. The
schools in the order visited were Iron
ton, Star, Tainter, Wildwood Bay Shore
and Undine. In every case the inspec-
| tor was on time or little ahead of his
prearranged schedule and the school
board was out in full force at the school
house. He found every building
different problem but all are working
for the same goal. In all cases for a
Standard school the windows would
have to be rearranged and in some
cases the ventilation had to be correct
ed or supplied. Two schools had their
seats arranged in rows Of one size but
all would need to place the seat nearer
the desk belonging to it. In these
cases the department furnishes a
seating schedule. In most cases there
would be out little expense necessary
in meeting the suggestions OF the de-
partment but it was the interest shown
by the school officers that pleased MIR.
Coffey. He complimented our north
ern country on its interest in its schools
as contrasted with some of the older
and more thickly settled regions.
Wednesday was a rainy stormy day;
the kind that needs every bit of philoso.
ply one has cleaned from the poets,
and even then that gray, muggy sky
would have an evil effect Supt. Nc.
Intosh of Boyne City became passeng-
er for both pleasure and profit but
there is no record of his having COM
planned of the weather. Seventy miles
were covered, thirty-five with team
and thirty-five by Ford. The problems
were met and handled; duplicate re-
ports OF the inspection will be returned
to the districts visited. The Blain
school out from Clarion was visited
first, then the Mackie school near
Springvale, the Paddock school near
Boyne Falls, and the three room school
in the village of Boyne Falls. The
Ford then sped along thru East Jordan
to Charlevoix and left its occupants to
take the boat to ST. James the next
morning. Here the angry waves OF
Lake Michigan interfered; the boat
didn't go.
Mr.. Coffey was one of the first care
full students of lighting conditions in
| rural schools. AS commissioner in
Cheboygan county he had the eyes OF
every student carefully tested by the
teacher in charge He found that 81
to 6S of the children were suffering
from defective vision. In only one
school was the percentage less than so
per cent This was in Standard"
school which had been STANDARD" for
ten years, had one side lighting with
walls of buff and cream tinting. In
this school only two children had weak
eyes an these two children came from
family in which the eyesight was
poor thruout These statistics which
he had gathered from his own schools
he later used in paper which he pre-
pared for the National Educational
meeting in Buffalo, and which attract
ed nationwide astention to the poor
lighting conditions of the built by guess
school buildings.
We can't get a state man here very
often nor for very long at time but
when we can it pays. AS soon as we
can work up to it once more we shall
try to have Charlevoix again included
| in the state schedule. The whole thing
is just for our boys and girls, the future
| of tomorrow.
