SELFHELPS for the
NEW SOLDIER
BY United States Amy oficer
THE SOLDIERS STEP AND ITS
IMPORTANCE.
tooprraaht, 1911, br The Hhsol.r srnn,r,,. m.

As soon as the young soldier has
learned to stand correctly he must
learn how to step and to walk. II he
does not learn how to walk, he will not
know how to march. If he does not
know how to march, he is Of no more
use to a military organization than an
actual "tin soldier"
A soldier must learn how to step
that is, to walk-fOr two reasons: he
must learn how best to utilize and con-
serve his muscles, and how to conform
to group movements.
All soldiers work is figured on a
basis Of the normal mans capacity.
The normal mans capacity is likewise
figured on the possibilities Of the nat
ural-and nOrmal-uSe of the muscles.
1t is not founded upon the subnormal
or abnormal use of the muscles. The
readlest way to fit oneself to become a
soldier, therefore, is to teach the mus
cles to function correctly.
The normal step of the soldier Is
thirty inches. That fact must be kept
in the mind until it grows there. Prac-
tice In marching will extend the step
Of some to that length and reduce that
Of others. If this standardization did
not take place-did not become habit
the step of the long-legged soldiers
would invariably walk away from the
short-legged soldiers and pull the
whole line out Of shape. This is what
always takes place with green troops.
The tall man strikes out at a swing
which keeps the short man on a trOt.
And not only is the united endurance
reduced according to the proportion of
short men in the company, but the tall
men cannot hold out with their equip
ment to nearly the same extent that
they could If they adopted the COM
pany stride. Uniform motion is con-
taglous, and the stimulus impaired to
all helps to carry those for whom the
longer step might at first be an exer-
ton.
A man must not walk on his heels.
This throws his whole physique out of
gear. 1t renders more difficult the
thirty-inch step. A man must walk on
the balls Of his feet. He must bear
the weight Of the body easily with him
not drag it along behind him. The
length of the step, thirty inches, is
measured from heel to heel and is tax
en- at the rate of 100 minute.
Thirty nches-remember No good
soldier ever steps, or marches, other
wise unless specifically commanded to
do so. Furthermore, the good soldier,
while marching in this the soldiers
basic, or normal step, is, except for the
swing Of the legs and arms, in the po-
sition Of attentiOn-described in a pre-
ceding article as the fundamental po-
sition Of the soldier.

COOPERATE TO
IMPROVE POTATOES

The potato is the worlds second
greatest food crop. Its Importance in
the United States is small at present
as compared with Europe, in fact. we
of this country have in the past been
meat eaters the people of Europe are
potato eaters. Economically, how
ever. we are rapidly approaching the
condition that has given the potato
such great importance in the old
world that is, where in the past meat
was plantiful and cheap in this coun-
try, It is now high priced, with but
scant prospect of its ever becoming
cheap again. Hence. as the price of
meat advances, we must expect a cor
responding increase in the eonsump-
ton of the cheaper foods.
The potato is grown in every state
OF the union. yet the main crop is pro-
duced for market in a few of the
northern states only. II we study the
potato industry. we will find a great
difference in yield per acre. cost of
production and quantity of the output
in the different states. Idaho's posi-
ton stands we'll toward the head in
this analysis. particularly as to high
yields, cost Of production per acre,
and quality. The potato of the east
ern states is produced only at the ex-
pense of large quantities Of high pric-
ed, commercial fertilizers, which are
not needed in Idaho. Diseases aud in
sect pests make expensive spraying
necessary in those states. another item

ldahogrOwcr a control OF the crop that
almost insures a high average pro-
duction.
Only High Yields and Good Quality
Pay.
ON the other hand, Idaho's geogra-
phical position is such that the crop
must be hauled a long way to get in
10 the great potato markets of the
country. This does not mean that
Idaho cannot prohtably produce po-
taties for outside markets. or COM
pete with other states in those mar
kets, but IL does mean that good quail
ilty potatoes only must be grown and
shipped to the distant markets. II We
are to maintain and develop the in
