THE BIRTHDAY OF LIBERTY

1t is fitting that occasionally we turn
aside from ordinary duties and reconse-
crate ourselves to the higher duties Of
citizenship. There is nothing Of
greater import for upon ii depends
everything We hold dear. education

The observance of the sOOth anniver-
sary Of the Pilgrims furnishes an added
and most suitable vehicle to trans
port us for the time to fields of civic
responsibility. cultivation of which
brings supelative moral and mental en-
Iichment.
This was the birth Of popular con-
stitutional liberty. In the cabin Of the
Mayhower humanity renewed its
rights" So it is put by Bancroft. the
historian. In those precincts was
planted the flower Of human liberty
that has blossomed in to the glorious
governmental garden Of individual
freedom of thought and action and
equal opportunity.
When we read the story Of the Pill
grims we find their problems were
much as ours, minus physical men

were not all of one mind, although
imbued with the same ambitions as
to the ultimate goal So we today
travel variant paths but seek the
same terminal. They met success.
they failed; they experienced joys and
sorrows; there was pickering and
there was unity; turbulence and tran
guilty, poverty and riches, speaking
comparatively. depression and buoy
ancy, stagnation and prosperity all
even as today. "even as you and 1"
To study their problems, to under
stand their motives and to appreciate
their ambitions is TO broaden and
strengthen all OF us, and we are glad
therefore. that a movement is on foot,
led by our Idaho patriotic organiza-
ton. the United Americans. to fur
nish the public with "a clearer con-
ception of the Pilgrim life for the in

LINCOLN COUNTY TEACHERS
CONVENTION


An organization OF the teachers Of
Lincoln County was formed during in
stitute week at Twin Falls. Mr.. W.
F. Fancher Of Besslen was made presi-
dent Of the society and Miss Scott Of
Dietrich. Secretary. An executive
committee was appointed. consisting
Of three members: Superintendent
J. E. wesson. Miss Claude Umstead
and Superintendent Rorseman Of
Richfeld
The first meeting Of the year was
held at shoshone. Saturday November
20.
The program was opened with q
violin solo by Mrs A J. WerriH ac-
companied by Mrs. G. z Maroney.
The selection was very much enjoyed
by the audience.
This was followed by most able
address by President Fancher on the
dignity Of the teachers profession.
some legislative proposals thato are
being discussed in the various parts
Of Idaho. If such proposals are adopt
ed by the 1921 legislative many

handling Of our schools:

round table discussion it was voteo
that the County Unit System which
has not succeeded in number Of
states would not be practical in Idaho
where counties are large and not
thiclzly settled.
Il was the opinion Of the organi-
zation that the office Of Superinten-

and enough deputies 10 permit the

Law makes the Office a clerical one.
and requires only one-half day to be
spent in each school during the year
This does not give adequate supervi-
sion Of the rural schools. The salary
paid in many counties is less than that
commanded by inexperienced teachers,
whom the superintendent must super
wise
The teachers voted against State
Tax that would control the tax on
public utilities and make it necessary
for a higher special tax in the indi-
vidual districts. It was also voted
to remove the limit placed by law on
the amount Of tax permitted in indi-
vidual districts. It was the opinion
this levy should be left to the judg-
nent Of the school patrons in the an
nual school meetings. as they know
best the needs their schools.
The meeting was most interesting
and helpful. Why not organize for

What Is Certified Seed?

There seems to be considerable con-
fusion as to what is meant by "certi-
fed" seed potatoes. Some dealers
and growers have advertised "certi-
fed seed potatoes" for sale when there
we're none certified in the state. The
eertifcation Of seed is delegated by
law to the commissioner of seed Of the
state. All certified seed of any kind
in idaho must be certified by him.
The certification of seed potatoes in
Idaho is done under rather stringent
rules. The specifications for inspec-
ton and certifcation were formulated
Iy a committee composed of delegates
from all the western states and they
have been adopted by the states Of
California, Arizona. Utah, Idaho, Ore
gon, and Washington. Hence, certi-
fcation Of seed potatoes means the
same thing in all the western states.
Small Amount of Certified Seed
This year 145 men in Idaho put in
plots Of selected seed of either Idaho
Rural or Melted Gem potatoes. Many
Of these were small plots planted pri-
niarily for the purpose Of building up
a better strain of stock The total
acreage of these plots amounted to
approximately $40 acres. OF this
number of fields or plots, 90 fulfilled
the requirements of the first and
second field inspections. The total
amount Of these plots is only 129 acres
of about 90 per cent. This acreage
should yield approximately 25 cars of
certified seed. although a part of the
stock has already been purchased by
growers for next seasons planting.
None of this stock has yet been cer-
titled. It must first be sorted and
sacked ready for seed market, when it
will be ready for final inspection and
certification.
The grower or owner Of potatoes
eligable for certification is given a
certificate OF inspection signed by the
state seed commissioner, showing the
variety, with acreage of same, maxi /
mum amount of seed stock. variety,
purity, average percentage of freedom
from disease, market condition and
quality
Each sack so certified is also labled
with tag which shows the growers
number or name, together with the In
formation contained in the certification /
of inspection. Buyers of certified seed
should insist on seeing the certificate .
of inspection and see that tags are at
tached to each sack.
Causes of Small Percentage
Two diseases were chiefly respon-
sible for the failure of so many plots
TO pass the growing season inspection
Blackleg, a bacterial on the stem and
tuber. has become prevalent in the
Idaho potato fields. 1t has attacked
both varieties and has become men
ace to the industry. 1t is hard TO
eradicate from seed stock except by
hill-selecting seed from the fields be-
fore frost and then taking seed only
from the plants that are free from the
disease.
Spindley sprout, which is indicated
by dwarfing of the plants. was much
In evidence in many fields of Melted
Gems this year. The cause OF this
disease or condition is not well under
stood, but where more than twelve per-
cent Of the plants in the field were af-
feeted, the fields were rejected for
certihcation.
The season was also responsible for
much ill-shaped stock, which preclud- :
ed possibilities for certification OF many Is
