School Commissioners
- Notes
May l.. Stewart, Commissioner
Change in System
Made Necessary.

There are so many things about
which our readers have wished to
know much, and so many notes with
but little information concerning the
news portion, coming to the office OF
the County School Commissioner, that
a change in system is made necessary.
To do justice to topic OF the day, and
tell the story of the schools OF the
county as it should be told is no minor
task, but the story should be told. Par
ents have asked again and again what
are we going to do about this?" or
"Will the children do so and so this
year?" 1t has been found that quite
frequently explanations, instructions,
opinions, in answers to these questions
crowded out the little bits OF news that
will ever be of interest to teachers and
parents of school children.
But the news for other reasons had
to be incomplete. Several letters
would arrive with little items OF inter-
est. Perhaps few OF these items had
already appeared in one or two OF the
papers of the county, and must neces-
sarily be omitted. On other occasions,
boys and girls with records worthy OF
mention neglected to send in the
record, or took it for granted that the
commissioner knew the good news and
would put it in the notes. When the
summary was made each week, it was
either incomplete or full of old news
Omissions were unpleasant, but as the
amount of material increased, news
paper space, and the readers time
would forbid including all that might
be of interest in some if not in all sec
tions of the county.
To meet both conditions, after care
full consideration by both editor ano
commissioner, we are going to try ar
experiment. The Commissioner will
write an article each week either in the
form of newspaper correspondence ol
an editorial on school work, which will
answer the situation of the hour as it i!
reflected in her office. The editor in
vites all the teachers OF the county t.
kindly send directly to him, or to have
the advanced pupils of the class SEM
to him, the news Of the schools, th'
names of boys and girls who are no
absent or tardy, the ones who wer'
sick, the good things that the school i
doing either through the school boar'
or through the teacher, the things the.
hope to do.

SELECT SEED POTATOES
AT DIGGING TIME

Much has been said and written dur
ing the last few years about the i'm
portance of securing seed potatoes
from fields which are comparatively
free from disease as well as from those
which show high yield. The writer has
been spending large portion of the
last two months visiting the different
potato producing counties OF the state.
Evidence has accumulated on every
hand showing the advantage of the use
of good seed.
The proper time to make selection
of seed is when the potatoes are being
harvested, or, in some cases, even be-
fore the main crop is dug. If the Sc
lection can be made before the frost
kills the vines, so much the better as it
will give the grower an opportunity to
secure the seed from plants which
show vigorous growth until killed by
frost
Late planted potatoes as rule will
show less injury from such diseases as
Fausarium Wilt than those planted
earlier For this reason and also be-
cause late planted potatoes have pro-
ven superior for seed purposes it is de-
sirable when possible to select seed
from late planted fields.
During the past season many cases
have been observed of a comparison
between the use of whole seed and cut
seed. In most cases the whole seed
has proven superior to the cut seed.
This is in part due to the fact that the
season was very dry and hot and that
in many instances the planting was
done when the soil was either dry or
hot or both. The use of whole seed is
gaining in favor among the Michigan
Potato Growers. This is good prac-
tice providing precaution is taken to
secure the seed from healthy produc-
tive fields, or better still, high yielding
hills. Growers who have noted con-
siderable amount of disease in their
fields this season will find it profitable
to change seed entirely or to select
their seed from their best hills. Those
who use horse diggers will find that it
is not very difficult to dig a few bus
hels of potatoes for seed plot before
the machine is started, and where hand
digging is practiced this is very easy
matter. 1t should be kept in mind that
it is not necessary for the potato to be
fully matured to make good seed. In
fact there is some evidence to indicate
that immature potatoes are preferable
for seed purposes.
II enough potatoes cannot be select
ed to plant the entire area which it is
planned to put out another season, the
growers will find it to their advantage
to select enough to plant at least half
acre which can be used for seed pur-
poses the following season.
While we do not wish to give the
impression that the seed question is the
only one which needs consideration in
connection with economic potato pro
duction, we are calling attention to thi:
matter practicularly at this time because
it is the proper time to secure seed fol
the next seasons planting.

CHILDREN
SAVE COTTON CROP

HOBART, Okla, Dec. 2.-On the
first day of the cotton vacation
given by the school board in an effort
to save the cotton crop, 400 Hobart
children picked 10000 pounds of seed
cotton.
When figured on basis of 1900
pounds of seed cotton to a five hun
dred pound bale the value of the cot
ton is SO 900. The seed is worth
$1,000. The scale paid for the picking
was approximately SO hundred.
The days work. therefore, neted the
Students $500.
s. ]. Crawford of Davis recalled the
days when he sold cotton at $3.50 a
hundred. Today it is worth twelve
times that much. In those days the
scale for picking was 40 cents hum
dred pounds. today it is SO and more.

YOUTHFUL SHERLOCK
 TRAILS BURGLAR AND
 GIVES HIM TOPOL|CE

Clever work on the part of 10-year- old sleuth resulted in the arrest of Jack McKim, self confessed burglar. John Cleaveland, son of MT. and Mrs. J. F. Cleaveland. is the lad who is not only recognized as hero by his friends, but is regarded by the police as a youthful Sherlock Holmes.
 The amateur detective trailed his man about town after he discovered him in his mothers apartment in North Fourth avenue rooming house, and succeeded in turning him over to the officers just as he was about to take the train for Yuma.
 McKim is alleged to have entered the roon1ing house on the pretense of renting a room. In this manner he gained entrance to various rooms in the building, among which was Mrs. Cleaveland's. Young John came in at the time and McKim told the child that his mother sent him for some writing materials which he failed to find. He gave the youngster. some change and asked him to purchase a tablet. The boy commissioned one of his friends to secure the tablet and kept his eve on McKim, who did not wait for the taxi he engaged, but beat a nasty retreat In the meantime Mrs. Cleaveiand had missed several dollars in change and

BIB MACHINE CO. TO
 OPEN BRANCH HERE

branch office of the Rosenburg company, one of the largest machine distributing houses on the coast with headquarters in Los Angeles, will be established in Phoenix within the near future, according to an announcement made by officials of that organization yesterday
 This company was the successful bidder for furnishing the machinery to be used in the big Gila irrigation proj- ect which is now being started near Arlington about 70 miles west of this city. A camp for the accommodation of 600 men is soon to be erected near this project. It is stated that the quar- ters for the men will be modern in every way.
 The Rosenburg company recently purchased a number of well known mines in the Congress Junction dis trict, including the Congress, Bee Hive. Cactus, Queen and others. Mining men throughout the state will look forward with interest to the opening of a branch office in this city as it will place them much nearer a market.
