CERTIFIED IRISH POTATO
SEED RECOMMENDED

Certified Irish potato seed and their
value to Louisiana potato growers will
be featured in an exhibit of the
Louisiana experiment station at the
state fair this year, announces G. l..
Tiebout, horticulturist, Extension Di-
vision, Louisiana state university.
Certified seed stock will be sent from
Wisconsin and Nebraska so as to show
the visiting farmers what the certi-
fled stock looks like and results will
be given Of experiments in Louisiana
showing its superiority over CONNER
cial seed stock.
"The Triumph is the variety that
will be featured since it is the most
popular potato for early planting and
shipping to Northern markets." says
Mr.. Tiebout. at is we'll known that
the Mosaic disease is a very serious
menace to Triumph potato production
and something must be done to cur
tail the losses from this trouble.
Spraying or treatment of seed pota-
toes is of no value in checking the
Mosaic disease. The only way to COM
troll it is by buying seed as Tree of
it as possible. Certified seed, while
not totally free, are practically free
and should be planted by all means,
il procurable.
an purchasing certified potato seed
one procures stock that is not only
reasonably free of Mosaic but which
also reached a high standard of varie-
tai purity, free from disease, vigor,
and type. Other things being equal
experiments in the South indicate that
certified seed stock is far superior to
the general run of commercial seed
stock. If you plant Triumph Irish po-
tatoes, ask your dealer to get some
certified seed. Some dealers are al
ready making arrangements to offer
large quantities of this certified Tri-
umph seed stock"

BIG FIRE DESTROYS
CONVENT PROPERTY
KITCHEN AT SACRED HEART
GOES UP IN SMOKE WITH
CONSIDERABLE LOSS

The Sacred Heart convent at Grand
Coteau suffered a considerable loss
last Wednesday afternoon when fire
totally destroyed the kitchen and light
plant of the famous institution. The
fire originated from some unknown
cause in the light plant, and the con-
flagration might have proved much
more serious had it not been for the
valiant work Of the boys from st.
Charles college, who, under the direc-
ton Of the Jesuit priests, rendered val
liable assistance in extinguishing the
flames. Several of the youthful fire
fighters were slightly injured but
none seriously.
An alarm for assistance was sent
to both opelousas and Lafayette, the
fire company from the last named
place not being able to make the trip
owing to the bad condition of the
roads. The Opelousas motor truck.
however, got off promptly with num-
Der of the members aboard, but owing
to engine trouble on the road were
unable to arrive in time to render
much assistance. Their presence was
deeply appreciated for it was known
they would have rendered much aid
had they arrived in time.
The loss is estimated at several
thousand dollars. partly covered by
insurance. The electric light plant,
kitchen and storeroom adjoining the
convent were totally destroyed.

peciaIly satisfactory in the sweetly

as an individual, her undoubted talent.

FACTS WORTH KNOWING

The State College of Washington
is located in Pullman, in the heart
of one of the richest farming regions
in the United States. Pullman is
about 80 miles south of Spokane, on
the Northern Pacific and the O.-W
r. & N. railways.
Though little more than a quarter
of century old, the State College
of Washington ranks among the
four or five largest educational in
stitutions in the West. Its land and
timber endowment, not yet fully
realized upon, is valued at approx
mately ten millions of dollars.
About nine acres of floor space are
occupied by class rooms and labora-
tories. More than 800 teachers,
scientists, administrative officers,
extension specialists, and other en-
ployes, were on the employment
rolls in 1920. There is a 70-acre
campus, a nine-acre athletic field,
and farm and experimental grounds
aggregating 600 acres.
The buildings and equipment of
the State College of Washington
have present value in excess of
S1,750.000. The instruction given
includes home economics, mechanic
arts and engineering, agriculture,
sciences and arts, veterinary science,
mining, music and applied design,
education, pharmacy, military sci
ence and tactics, and vocational
training in a department of ele-
mentary science. The enrolment in
1920 passed $500 students from
Washington. principally; but also
from Central and South American
countries, the Orient, Europe, Pales-
tine, India, and elsewhere. Engin-

FOOTBALL, COACH

Gustavius 3 .ASelch Spent Summer

Big Season for Northwest
College Football

Gustavius Welcn, football coach
for the State College, arrived in Spo-
kane last Tuesday on his way back
to Pullman, and is expected to ar
rive here today Coach WEIGH spent
the summer at the Dickinson law
school,, Carlisle, and returns to the
west determined to turn out one of
the best football teams in the his
tory of the State College.
Speaking of the football situation
soon after he arrived in Spokane.
Coach Welch said;
Naturally, there are many un-
certainties in regard to any football
season, and it is not always possible
to tell just how many veterans will
be back and how much new material
will be available, but taking every
thing into consideration, | am much
more optimistic in regard to the
coming football season at Pullman
than l was before the 1919 season.
Il believe our schedule is better
this year than it was last and natur-
ally that is source of satisfaction.
The opening date for the fall train
ing work has been definitely set for
September 10, the earliest date al
lowed under the Pacific Coast con-
ference rules.
All the Pacific Coast conference
institutions look to be lined up
strong for material for the coming
season and I expect the Northwest
to have one of the best football sea-
sons in its history"
The State College schedule for the,
coming season is as follows:
October 9-Gonzaga at Spokane.
October 15-Idaho at Moscow.
October 30-Montana at Pullman

TIMES DEMAND SANE TEACHERS
SAYS PRESIDENT HOLLAND

returning on August 26 from an
extended eastern trip, President E.
y. Holland described a situation
which in its bearing upon American
colleges and universities, is UNIQUE
and without precedent in this conn
try All over the country, he says.
hundreds of young men who other
wise would have acquired the ad-
vanced scholarship necessary to quail
ify them for the higher field of col
leglate teaching, went to war, and
upon returning-and not all of them
came back-were lured away from
scholarship studies by commercial
employment which offered much bet
ter pay than the teaching profession.
This, he says, has contributed great
~ to the present shortage in the
scholarship market" He believes
that the State College of Washington
will escape with less inconvenience
and loss than some of the eastern
universities.
President Holland says that col
lege presidents the nation over now
are looking for teachers, who. though
open mind, are not swept out by the
undertow of every "ology," ism, D."
and alleged reform that comes
along. The so-calld radical usual
ly has nothing to contribute to the
information or the training of col
lege men and women and therefore
has no place in the modern college
or university Often for the time be-
ing such a person has undue influ-
ence upon college men and women
because he is less cautious and ex-
acting in his speech, frequently dis
cussing questions upon which he has
no expert knowledge. Such persons
have no place at the State College of
Washington, but the teacher of good
poise and sound training has been
the type President Holland has
searched for to fill vacancies in this
institution.

eering graduates of the college are
found from Alaska to Peru and from
the Orient to the Atlantic seaboard
of America. Practically the same
may be said for graduates in the
biological sciences, geology, in spe-
cialized fields of agriculture, and en-
gineering, mining, and SO on.
More than so per cent of the grad
yates of the State College now are
employed in the lines of work for
which they received training while
in college. Ten to twelve thousand
dollars per year are the maximum
salaries received, and the average of
all ranges from $2,250 to $4,000.
The State College of Washington
is one of the land grant colleges
so-called, of which there are more
than so in the United States, al
| founded by the federal Morrill, Act
of 1868, and supplementary legisla-
| tion adding to these colleges, the
government experiment stations and
the extension service. The funds OF
the State College are received from

Hatch, Morrill,, Adams, and Smith
Lever extension funds, and biennia
state appropriations accruing from
millage levy of 045 mills on the
assessed state valuation of $1,035,
| 93S,644.
From 1910 to 1920, the student
attendance at the college was in
creased by more than 80 per cent.
