FIRST REPORT CARDS
TO Be OUT TODAY

Last Friday brought to close the
first month OF the school year.
Thus afternoon just before school
closes for the day monthly grade cards
will be given to each boy and girl
of the entire city system who have
been present more than half the
month. In the grammar grades and
high school it is also required that
Jhc students take the monthly writ
zen tests before receiving the month
i report.
I sincerely hope that every par
ent will insist upon an examination
Of Jh.s report which is to be sent out
the first Wednesday of each school
month. By doing this many misun-
oerstandings viii be prevented. Upon
the back OF the card the grade scale
is plainly indicated.
I here is one thing above all else
which / wish TO emphasize and for
which | wish to ask the cooperation
of the parents and that is regular
The great majority of
students who failed to pass the first
month did not attend regular
-, Every day missed from school
is a great hindrance to the student
and teacher and an imposition upon
Jhe students who attend regularly.

The effect upon the senate of the

the liking Of Senator Borah that he
promptly asked that it be printed in

Nelson Of Minnesota, mild" reser-
vationist, inquired: ''Why not in

setts Republicans, which might throw
short is all that could be desired.
light on this subject?" The effect, in
Borah had to find his comfort in the
plank forced down the Democratic
state conventions throat by the Cur
leys and Lomasneys of Boston, while
the Republican plank was immedi-
ately recognized by Nelson as sup
port of himself and his Republican
colleagues who have refused to fol-
low Mr.. Lodges leadership.

PLANTING SIGNS
HAVE REAL
VALUE
BY the Associated Press.

by IHe ASSOCIdCeu 1TcSS.
Washington, Oct. S.-The problem
of making agricultural superstlL-
ions into scientific data is being stud
led by experts of the department of
agriculture, who declare that many
old maxims handed down from faith
er to son for generations are not
really superstitions at all, but help
full information discovered by keen
ly observant persons.
Everybody has heard a great deal
of the old maxims. They deal with
every variety of agricultural opera
ton. Bean planting never was done
by the forefathers of the present
generation except the time Of the
blossoming Of the blackberry bushes
When the catkins had formed on the
maple trees, it was a sign from ma
ture that early gardening might
commence And toward the close of
the season, warning of frost was
given by the maturing of cocn1eburs.
Now, the department of agricul-
ture, declares that there is a best
time for every farm and garden op-
GRAFTON and that some tree or SHRUB
or plant indicates that time more
accurately than all the scientific in
struments can register it. It is
those signs which are noted by the
pioneers who laid the foundations
Of this country and recorded in the
simple sayings handed down to pos
terity Soon they will be dignified
with the scientific name of "phen-
ology," which is the science of phe-
nomena.
Collection of natural signs into
the science of phenology probably
WIS begun with a campaign against
the Hessian fly. Experts were en-
deavoring to determine the best time
for planting wheat so that the SOW
ing would be late enough to prevent
ruin by the pest and yet early
enough for the grain to get a start
before cold weather. 1t was easy
enough to work out the general rule
that the season varies four days for
each one degre of latitude, five de-
grees of longitude and 400 feet of
altitude but as no two seasons are
Just the same, the rule could tell
only approximately when the farmer
should do his sowing.
In seeking for more exact guide,
DR.. A. D. Hopkins, of the depart
ment, forsook the cold realm of
scientific formulae for "back to ma
ture" information. AS plants re
spond to climatic conditions and not
to dates, it was declared that some
natural indication would give the
information desired. It is now
claimed that observation has proved
that the best time for sowing wheat
is that period between the full bloom
ing of tall late goldenrod and the
time when the white, common Japan
csc clematis flowers are nearly all
gone or the leaves are distinctly
colored on the dogwood and hickor-
les.
What has been done for wheat
Will be done for other crops, but the
working out Of the signs will be
slow process. Meanwhile every far
mer and even the city gardener have
their own guides at hand if they
have eyes to see Thus has the su-
perstition and folklore of days called
primitive been justified by the adj
vanced science of the twentieth cen
turV
