fton Thursdsy7s Dariy.
Potatoes are jumping. No one ever
suspected the modest plebian potato
of social aspirations, but the fact is
the family is a regular climber" and
are jumping higher and higher.
Farmers are becoming so attached to
their potatoes that they refuse to
part with them, and it takes a very
fancy price to tempt them to sell the
pride of their gardens. Potatoes have
small bushel, and the average con-
I'M is happy if he can afford a
peck a week with which to brighten
his dinner table. 1T is limited that the
high cost of potatoes has prevented
a number Of marriages this winter,
the prospective groom always asks
the prospective bride if she is adj
dicted to the use Of potatoes, and il
the b~lushing maiden owns to a fond
ness for these vegetables her young
man will tell her that they had ought
to wait for better times" before
contemplating matrimony. Of course
this is mere heresy, and should go in
one ear and out the other, so to
speak.
. Not Ore Potato in Stock.
The Mankato Fruit company re-
ported yesterday that they didn't
have a potato in the house, and as
they supply a large territory with
fruit and other produce. the outlook
is quite dark. 1t was stated that they
had a carload ordered, and if the
weather moderated so railroads
would accept such shipments, the
situation might soon be relieved.
The Gamble-Robinson Produce
company stated that they had a few
potatoes on hand, about enough to
supply their large trade for about a
week, but that they had a carload on
the way, and expected it to arrive as
soon as the weather moderated.
Otto's grocery reported a fairly
good~supply, having induced a farmer
to sell them three hundred bushels
a few days ago. Hotels and restaur-
ants are depending on the potato to
make up their menu, and some of the
proprietors were wise enough to pur-
chase a large supply last fall, while
others are now suffering for the want
of a potato. The moral is that every
one should invest in a patch OF
ground" raise their own potatoes,
and be independent.

WILL BE THE DtETITION
Miss Martha GaIchutt to Take UP
Work in Mankato.

fS'N th
Miss Martha Galchutt of st. Paul

sofa college of agriculture, with
special work in dietetics and foods.
Miss Galchutt is one of the sixteen
students who have finished the re-
quirements for graduation with the
close of class room work last Satur-
day. On account of having made a
good record during her entire curse
in the college, she was not required
to take final examinations, which
are being given this week.
Two other members of the gradu-
ating students at the Minnesota COL
lege will take up dietitian work. One
will work in the Minneapolis city
hospital. There are five women in the
list of sixteen finishing the course.

graduated from the work completed
the first semester, three will begin
teaching at once. three will continue
studying in the University of Mime
sofa, n will do official milk testing
for the college of agriculture, one
will begin work as a seed salesman,
one will manage a North Dakota farm
and two are undecided as to what
they will do. There are 123 members
of the senior class at the college of
agriculture, the rest of whom will
finish the requirements for gradua<
ton in June. Ninety-five were
graduated last year.

CARLOS AVERY

The birds which remain with us in
winter are always in imminent dang
.er of starvation during periods Of
deep snow and low temperature.
Many birds live on foods obtained
from the ground-others from weed
tops and plants that are covered by
deep SLOWS. Much can be done to sup
ply the birds with food and many
birds lives can be saved byNa little
care and attention at this time.
Feeding stations should be estab-
.lished ear residences for such winter
birds as the downy and hairy wood
peckers, chickadees, nuthatcheS, eve
ming grosbeaks, brown creepers and
other winter residents of v~isitants.
Suet, seeds of various kinds, ground
meat, scraps, etc., placed in artificial
feeding stations, or in any suitable
place, will attract the birds in large
numbers. Suet may be fastened to
branches of trees, grain may he scat
tered on straw or litter in sheltered
places which may be protected by
boughs to prevent covering with snow.
In the fields, thickets and woods
shelters should be provided for the
quail and food placed for them during
the winter months. Quail are not ma
tive to Minnesota but are becoming
very hardy and with care and atten-
ton in winter may be made very
plentiful. The care of the bobwhite
quail is an effort worthy of all farm
ers and sportsmen as it is a bird most
beneficial to agriculture and a highly
priced game bird. On account OF their
habit of roosting in compact groups
The Mankato free press. [volume] (Mankato, Blue Earth County, Minn.) 1879-1924, 1917-02-09

on the ground quail are often smoth-
hardened by sleet and ice. Loosely
constructed shelters will prevent this.
Prairie chickens gladly accept corn
and sheaf grain when their natural
feeding places are buried in snow.
Starvation and exposure are not the
only causes of mortality among birds
in winter. Mink, weasels, house cats,
wandering dogs, foxes, and great
horned owls are dangerous and de-
structive enemies of birds in the win
ter season. Shelters which may be
prepared for quail should be of loose
construction that the birds may easily
escape these enemies.
Game wardens will render all pos
sible assistance in the care Of birds in
winter and may be called upon for in
structions in preparation of feeding
stations, suitable food and other help
and advice. Every public school should
be a center of bird care and ~conserva-
ton in winter; the boys and girls be-
come intensely interested when prop
.erly directed by their teachers. BOY
Scout troops will gladly render valu-
able service in this work.
Game protective associations, sports
mems clubs, farmers clubs, Audubon
societies, bird clubs and all citizens
r earnestly urged to take an active
interest in the important work Of car
ing for the birds in winter. Reports
of such work done by clubs or indi-
viduals will be welcome.
Assistance rendered by newspapers
in giving publicity to this appeal will
be greatly appreciated.

HELP FOR RURAL SCHOOLS

Plans That State superintendent
Has in Store For Them.
Numerous changes in Minnesota's
school laws will be recommended to the
1917 state legislature by c. G. Schultz,
state superintendent of education.
In the state superintendent biennial
report, now being prepared, he will urge
legislation covering the following SUBJ
jects:
Creating supervisors for school to act
as assistants to county superintendent
and under his appointment, their SAL
aries to be paid by the state.
Redistricting of each county with a
view of fixing centers for consolidated
schools.
Granting authority to the department
of education to close schools where en-
rollment for two consecutive years is
less han ten.
Providing for a minimum school year
of eight months; removing the present
maximum limit of ten months n re-
stead Of forty as a requisite for sharing
in the state a~pportionnIent fund.
Limiting new school districts to re-
quire an area of not less than twelve
sections, Inc assessed valuation of not
less than $50, 900 and not less than TWEEN
ty pupils between six and sixteen years
of age.
Providing a state tax to replace the
present specific appropriations as state
aid for public schools.
Giving no school district state aid
unless the local levy for school main
tenance exceeds six mills.
The state superintendent also calls at
tention to the need of additional funds
for state aid to schools and suggests a
general tax levy of 4 mills to pay the
states share of the support of the
schools. During the last two years the
fund has been short 81, 900, coo.
The state has paid from its funds in
support of public schools during the last
two years. the sum of So, 722, 01S, as
against $32,440,12O, contributed by the
1000 odd school districts. The state sup
port is derived from the permanent
school fund and from direct state taxes.
The direct grants by the state to the
schools have required an annual tax
levy of 2.3S mills for 1915 and 2.23 mills
for 1916.
In discussing the matter in his report,
Mr.. Schultz says: whichever plan is
adopted by the legislature, it has be-
come evident hat the schools require
that the state increase it's share of the
public school cost. The method by which
this may be realized is a question of
policy for the legislature to determine"

HIGH COST OF TRUANCY
1t Costs $40 Every Time Boy Plays

Minneapolis, Mimi, February q
Every time a little boy plays hockey
from school, it costs him $40, accord
ing to G.. F. Womrath, business sup
erintendent of schools, lin a state
ment today. Here's the way he figures
it:
Average annual earning capacity
of educated mar $1,000; average
earning capacity of uneducated man
$3.50; life earning capacity of an
educated man., $4,000; uneducated
mar $4,000; difference, $4,000;
school period for education, twelve
ears; total days attendance at
school, 2,160. The difference between
educated and u~neducated, then, is
just 2,16O days, which at SO a day
balanced the $4,000 in the life
earning power of men.
