Supt. Young SQUADS a Note OF
Warning to the Colleges


Walter H. Young, superintendent
of the st. Johnsbury public schools,
contributed the following letter to
Mondays Boston Herald:
The colleges will have in their
classes this fall young men who have
spent months in the army or navy.
These boys led a strenuous life; they
were engaged in doing great things;
they were trained physically to = en-
durance and to suffering. In the eff
fort to "shake" the horrors of all,
to forget the sights they saw, and
the things they did, these men are
apparently restless; they are differ
ent from the college boys before the
war.
Last June | met young man who
served in the navy, and who after
being discharged therefrom, returned
to college. He told me that he had
an examination in calculus that day
but instead had taken the train the
day before and come home. Why?
He did not know, could not account
for it, His classmates were dropping
out by the twos and by threes, af-
fected with the same restless spirit,
unable to settle down to the routine
of college work. This, | find, is a
typical experience. Very many of
the boys on being discharged either
do not go back to college, or, return
ing, soon drop out.
Without raising any argument asto
methods of instruction and without
going into details, | wish to say that
if the colleges arouse and hold the in
terest of their students who have
been in military service, they must
do vastly different kind Of work
from what they have done hereto,
fore. There is a world of difference
between instruction and teaching.
Under the present conditions they
must be teachers, not instructors.
Theirs is the task to revivify the pre-
vious knowledge and experience of
the student, colrelate the new body

TIME CHANGE NEXT MONDAY.

The experience Of last spring and
summer with the so-called daylight saving
plan will be repeated this year. Presi-
dent Wilson has signed bill calling for
the moving ahead Of the clocks in the
whole country for one hour from the
last Saturday in March to the second
week in October. The time will be
changed during the nightfrom Saturday
to Sunday, making that nights sleep
one hour shorter as it will be seven
O'Clock instead of six. The saving of
daylight is made in the evening which
may be especially welcome to pros
spective. garden workers. Before the
new bill passed in the two houses Of
congress there was some opposition from
farmer circles but it was not strong
enough to prevent its passage.

g NUT has not yet attacked Marquis
~ wheat to such an extent as it has
infected Velvet Chaff and the other
older varieties Of wheat; but it must
be treated every year to. be safe,
whether there are any smut spores
showing in the. wheat or not Smut
spores are microscopic plants and a
few of them on the seed will do a
great deal of damage.
Forty bushels OF Marquis wheat
may be treated with one pint Of full
strength formaldehyde in forty gal
Ions OF water. The smut spore at
taches itself to the seed and grows up
through the plant. It is therefore nee
essary to kill the smut spores before
the seed is planted. The process is
very simple.
The Float and Skim Method.
Saw a barrel in two, making two
tubs. Bore a hole near the bottom Of
one tub and tack a piece of ordinary
screen over the opening ON the In
side and fit plug to the hole. The

a short piece of hose as a siphon
same result may be obtained by using
from the top tub to the lower tub.
One tub is raised and the grain is put
into it and the solution is poured over
1t until it is submerged. Then all
the floating matter is skinned off
This serves double purpose because
it disposes OF much of the light seed
which has poor termination and little
plant food.
The liquid is then drawn of into the
lower tub and the treated grain piled
on canvas where it is covered with
empty sacks which have been soaked
in the same solution. Grain thus
treated may be sown the next day.
Many farmers prefer to use wagon
box, in which case if all of the grain
is wet in the solution the wagon may
follow the seeder and the grain
planted moist.
Do not work in freezing weather.
Test your grain drill to see that it is
properly set in case the grain is
swelled or packed.

The crowd that may be expected was
variously estimated at from 800 to 500
farmers by those present.
While some of the delegates declared
that the convention will be certain to
consider legislative matters and insist
that certain farmer members line up
for the legislation which Minnesota
farmers have been wanting for number
Of years, this will be secondary.
The primary purpose Of calling the
