Cloth-topped barrels do not pro-

Sacks do not sufficiently protect

If used, those holding 80 to 120
pounds are the most desirable for
careful handling and ventilation of
the contents.
Hampers should not be used. If
crates are used they should be so
made as to protect the potatos from
too rapid evaporation and conse-
quent shriveling.
Packages should be marked with
the weight OF dry measure of their
contents.
If stock cars are used, it is advis-
able to protect the potatoes from the

of the open parts with strong build

HINTS TO IRISH
POTATO SHIPPERS

Clemson College.-Much Of the
loss in southern new potatoes in
transit and in the markets is caused
by field cuts and bruises and by the
practice of allowing the potatoes to
remain exposed to the sun after dig
ging. Careful grading will increase
the growers profits and will make
a surer and more constant market
for his products, suggest the mar
keting agents of the Extension Ser
vice. It is important to keep the skin
of the potato intact. In handling new
potatoes this requires great care.
Cars should be loaded according
to a definite plan. Leaders should
secure the maximum of ventilation
throughout the load and avoid me-
thods that allow shifting and break
age in transit.
The double-headed barrel is the
most satisfactory package for new
potatoes. The heads should be secur-
ed by "head-lin ers." The barrels US
ed should conform to the specifica-
tions of the U. S. standard barrel.
Barrels loaded on end carry better
than those loaded on other sides.

production of wheat, its shipping
and milling, as we'll as in general ag-

cussions by those in attendance are
sure to be of mutual benefit to all as

Girls Save $S3
Miss Nellie b. Jacobs, instructor
in clothing, Course 30, this semester,
has just reported to Dean Harrison
that the girls taking the course have
thus far saved $50, on a low esti-
mate, on the 60 garments completed
by them. The work they have done
has been above the average, and be-
sides learning the best processes in
garment making, they have supplied
themselves with clothing OF a better
quality and at lower cost than
they could buy in stores ready-made.
They made six dresses at a total
cost for materials of $35. an aver
age cost of $5.SS each. At low
estimate of store costs of similar
dresses, they saved SIS, or $3.50 on
each dress. They saved a similar
sum on the four kimonas and bath
robes they made. If they had bought
the clothing, at the lowest estimate
it would have cost $244.35, whereas
the goods cost but $161.35.
The garments completed included
s nightdresses, . pairs Of paiamas.
. aprons, petticoats, slips, u
pairs OF boomers, : chimeses,
waists, dresses. / pleated skirt, 4
kimonas and robes, and also numer-
Gus dress accessories and mending
and repairing. as well as numerous
garments not yet completed
The course is to be continued next
term, FOR all college girls who wish
to make their own clothes but have
not time to devote to the entire
course in home economics.

TESTS IN READING
IN MANY SCHOOLS

Development of speed and COM
prehension is the aim of teachers Of
reading in the schools of Whitman
county, where many tests have re-
Gently been made to show the prog
ress which the students are making.
Tests were made in all the town
schools and in 5 of the rural schools
a short time ago and the results have
been tabulated and will be discussed
by DR.. Stone of the education de-
partment of the Washington State
College at the next meeting of the
Whitman County Principals associa-
ton, December II.
BY means of the tests a principal
is able to learn how the different
grades in his school compare with
the other grades and with other
schools and with this information is
able to direct special effort in the
weak places.
In the recent tests conducted in
the town schools of Whitman county,
the sixth grade pupils were above
normal in speed and comprehension
in reading and the seventh grade pu-
pills were below normal. The other
grades were very near the normal es-
tablished when thousands OF tests
were made last year in all parts OF
the United States.
The Monroe silent reading tests
are being used in Whitman county
The next test will be made about
February /, and the results OF that
test will be compared with the tests
made recently. The questions are
put before the pupils at given time
and the results are judged on the
speed and correctness of the an
swers.
one of the 10 problems put before
the third. fourth and fifth grade pu-
nils in the recent test follows: The
teacher told James TO buy book, pen
ell. tablet and eraser. He bought the
hook. tablet and eraser, but forgot
the other? Which did he forget?'
Tests are also being made in arith-
metic in regard to speed and accur-
acy in the fundamental operations OF
