Trade With Japan
Now On Increase

Savannah, Ca, July 15. = A
significant feature along the Sa-
vannah waterfront is the resump-
tion of trade between Savannah
and the Orient. Two years ago,
after trade had been fairly well
established between this port and
the far east, the cotton movement
decreased almost to the vanishing
point and shipping to the far east
became practically zero, With
the reopening of cotton selling ex-
ports have begun to increase, with
Japan and other Oriental countries
again looking to Savannah for cot
ton. Several ships have recently
taken on cargoes here for ports in
the Orient and four japanese ships
are due soon to take on cargoes,
mainly of cotton.

What President Ackerman Stood
For

WhaL FreSldenL hckerIudn otVou
For.
To the Editor: The newspa-
pers and a few educators have
published eulogies of the late j.
II. Ackerman. president Of the
Oregon State Normal school at
Monmouth, which are all very
highly deserved. For ten years at
the head of the state school for
training public school teachers he
has made a record for careful ex-
penditures oil public funds. He has
also stood for the conduct of a
public institution with some re-
CARDS for the rights of the taypay-
ers, that a state institution shall
be confined to the purposes foI
which 1t was created. He admin
istered the state normal training
school as a public trust, especial
ly dedicated for the education cf
teachers for the country schools.
That was never lost sight of.
While some teachers went out
from Monmouth into high schools.
and even college work. the great
bulk of the money expended at
Monmouth went to supplying a
better grade of instructors fos the
country schools.
Mr.. Aekerman never fell for the
craze that exists in some western
institutions that it was his hpsi-
ness to build up a national insti-
tuition or the largest normal
school in the world. He also held
to the principle that teachi ~ is
a profession and therefore those
who fit themselves for il should
pay tuition. and the dormirory " as
run on the principle that such
function as renting rooms and sup
plying board and laundry was to
yield a profit to whoever engaged
in il. whether it was private or by
the state-in other words the state
normal was not run as a free-fcr-
all charitable institution. All
teachers paid for what they got
there and the service was SO good
they preferred to pay az Moa-
mouth to getting something for
nothing at other places where pro-
fessional equipment and higher
are dispensed.
The doubling. trebling and In
some instances quadrurling OF
school taxes Mr. Ackerman took |
no part in. He fought the effort |
Of the higher education combine /
to compel every state teacher 10 |
take a fun four-year college
course. or even a four-year course
at the normal school. He favored /
teachers going out with a two-year
normal training course, and teach
ing and afterwards taking sum
mer school work or further work
At the pormal. That kept the Ore
son schools supplied with Oregon

made TO get the Monmouth state

Conduct Milk Campaigns.

Selling the milk habit to folks is the
way some people refer to the educa-
tional milk campaigns which are be-
ing held under the supervision of
dairy specialists of the United States
Department of Agriculture. These
campaigns are cooperative enterprises,
the department specialists joining the
state extension forces and local Off
cials and leaders in showing the val
ue of milk as health food. Thus far
II states have cooperated in conduct
ing campaigns in 40 cities and more
than 100 rural communities.
Before a milk-consumption cam
paign is held in a community a pre-
liminary survey is conducted to make
sure that the milk supply is clean and
wholesome, that there is a sufficient
amount to take care Oh any increased
consumption resulting from the cam
paign, and that the local authorities
are willing to cooperate in the move
ment. It is also made certain that

lists among growing children OF that
children are consuming too little milk.
By following this plan, the depart
ment specialists say, every milk cam
paign thus far conducted has been
successful ard has resulted in a more
than temporary increase in the COM
sumption of milk.

ing our attention to this and We ex-

results since our experiment last

The letter from Mr.. Norris follows:
81 applied the mixture for killing
weevils as you told me Saturday
morning. Monday morning l had five
rows of cotton 200 yards log On
which l had put the mixture examined
very carefully, and found one live
weevil, and then l had five rows adj

putting the mixture on my cotton IL
two different fields, and this morning
after close examination, picking rows
where applied and rows where mons
was applied and I am satisfied 80 pei
cent. of the weevils are gone.
"When the weevils are killed ano

hard to find, being so small and about

they are all trying it.

shown this mixture to be a very et-
fective poison in controlling and elm
mating the boil weevil, according to
information received in Columbia
from w. B. Ravenel & Co. of Charles
ton.
Directions for preparing the mix
ture as given by the Charleston firm
follow: "Mix thoroughly for 80 min
utes one pound calcium arsenate with
one quart warm water; add one gal
Ion of the cheapest grade molasses
and apply from one to two. drops on
each plant with mop made with a
stick and old piece of rag" The mix
ture, it is said, can be prepared at a
cost of about 10 cents an acre.
The ruseults o. the experiments are
told in two letters received by W. B,
Ravenel from The Holman-Cullum
Hardware company of Batesburg and
G.. NJ Norris of Nance. The Holman

follows:
