STATE WIDE CAMPAIGN
TO STANDARDIZE POTATOES

To standardize the growing of po-
tatoes in the state, arrangements are
being made by the extension service
of the State College of Washington,
working through the county agents,
to reduce the number of varieties,
bring about a compliance with the
standards and help place the Wash
ington potato on a firm basis
AS the preliminary step in state
wide campaign for better potatoes in
1928, a survey will be made this
summer under the direction of the
extension specialists and the county
agents in each county. This will be
made to determine the varieties
grown, type of soil upon which
planted, methods of seed treatment.
chemical used, fertilizer used and
whether the potatoes are raised for
seed or market.
Some work has been accomplished
along this line in the Yakima valley
where the Melted Gem is the main
variety. George L. Zundel and E.
G. Wood, extension specialists, have
conducted seed treating demonstra-
tions in Yakima, Pend Oreille, Ste
vens, Spokane, Whitman and Column
bia counties, while Standardization
work is being conducted by E. b.
Stookey, county agent of Thurston
county.
Another part of the preliminary
potato work will be the keeping of
ten potato cost accounts by ten farm
ers in each county. It is planned
that in this way production costs
may be determined. Fifteen coun-
ties are making arrangements at the
present time to have these $50 cost
accounting systems placed with To-
cal potato growers.
The survey put on this year, >"
says r. n Turner, assistant county
agent leader, sis for the purpose of
determining which type of potato is
pest adapted Tor different soils, and
to try and secure information which
will be of assistance in our state
wide potato work for 1922.
There are certain sections of the
state well adapted to the raising of
seed potatoes while others can pro
duce the finest market type. En-
phasis will be placed on raising the
long white variety such as the Net
ted Gem, Burbank, American Won
der, White Star and Pride of Multi
nOmah. This is the popular type
with the housewife. The prelimi-
nary work and the campaign next
year will be in charge of extension
specials tin plant diseases, horticul-
ture, soils and farm accounting"

tional guard, together with the reg
ular army, now reduced to a little
over 100000 men, forms the first
line OF defense in case of war. The
assuming of this patriotic RESPONSE
bility tends to sober and stabilize
any young man and to increase his
respect for law and order The drill,
supplemented by athletic sports, is
sure to improve them physically. The
discipline. the competition for pro-
motion and the close association with
their more mature superior officers
will stimulate their mentality.
As Company X is an asset to the
community it deserves the hearty
encouragement and support of the
people. Thus far the organization
has asked for nothing, but in order
to carry out plans for the equipping
of the armory as a gymnasium the
members may need a little financial
assistance, and when a second COM
pany is recruited and the time comes
to make an effort to secure a state
armory, the moral support OF the
whole community will be required
Both this financial and moral sup
port should be cheerfully given.
Company X has made good and de-
serves the loyal backing of the peo-
pie.

DRY" LAWS HERE TO STAY

A new association has been
formed which purposes to get the
Volstead act repealed, to permit
every state to pass its own enforce
ment act, to then remove the pro-
hibition amendment from the Con-
stitution,
To borrow a phrase from the
slang of the day, that's some con-
tract
II the organization confined itself
solely to repeal of the Volstead act
it would be mapping out for itself
a fight that probably would last as
long as the patience or the purse
of those who might be willing to
back it.
1t has indicated a program which,
if consistently pursued, might be ac-
complished in a couple of genera
tons always provided the sentiment
of the minority that opposed prohi-
bition remained as it is now-which,
of course, will not be the case.
Efforts to repeal the Volstead act,
TO say nothing of the prohibition
amendment, are about as vain as
anything that may be imagined. The
fact is that foes of this policy are
facing an accomplished fact, just as
the South faced an ACCOMPLISHED
fact when slavery was abolished in
the United States.
Already, the country's DESTINY is
partially in the hands Of a body of
voters who have reached maturity
under prohibition or partial prohibi-
ton. The men of less than 25 who
have spent all their lives in COM
munities where saloons we're per-
m1tted are few by comparison with
those who were reared in dry" or
partially dry territory.
The association mentioned above
with its pretentious program. appeals
only to small part of the electorate
and most of that composed of men
nearly or past middle age. Before if
could get Congress to do ANYTHING
those who would be setting the pace
In Washington as elsewhere. would
be individuals who had grown IN
under prohibition and had core to
accept it as the settled order of
things.
Prohibitions here to stay, no mat
ter how some may rage against if.
Moreover, it's going to be observed
much more generally in future. not
so much because of rigid enforce
ment as because the demand for in
toXicants will diminish
The dry leaders who regard the
rage for home brew with calm toler-
anee are wiser students of human
nature than the "antis." who really
think they can repeal the prohibi-
ton amendment.-Seattle Times.

THE HUMAN UNIT

Just at present there is a great
deal of discussion going on in this
state regarding what is the best
school unit, Some favor the pres
ent school district unit. others up
hold consolidated school unit and
still others want a county unit. In
all this discussion there is danger
that the most important unit of all,
the human unit, may be forgotten
In the final analysis the welfare Of
the individual pupil is the big fac
tor in the problem and the real
question to be settled is how to guar
antee to each child the opportunity
to secure a good education and how
to make these opportunities as near
ly equal as varying circumstances
and conditions will permit.
Obviously, in order to equalize
these opportunities, the state must
in some way equalize the revenue
available for the education Of each
unit If a child residing in a dis
trict with a comparatively small
property valuation on which to levy
taxes is to have anywhere near the
same school advantages as the child
living in a large city with a high
property valuation. the rich district
must contribute to the support Of
the poorer one. If, on the other
hand, the child living in a rich but
sparsely populated district is to en-
Joy anywhere near the same educa-
tional opportunities as the child liy-
ing in more populous district, that
child must be placed in a school
where the attendance is large
enough to justify the employment of
more than one teacher.
The welfare of every child is of
far more importance than the inter
ests of any particular district or
group of districts. Sufficient money
should be raised by taxation on all
the property in the state to maintain
enough good schools, so located, as
to make it possible for every child
to attend one of them, and to insure
a large enough attendance at each
to enable it to function efficiently.
The first object of any school code
should be to equalize, as far as pos
sible, the educational opportunities
of the children and the second OBJ
ject should. be to equalize, as far
as possible, the tax levy for school
purposes on all the taxable wealth
in all parts of the state There is
no more fairness in allowing a rich
district with but few children to
educate, to escape with a light tax,
than there would be to exempt the
property owner with no children in
the schools from paying any tax to
support them.
Such code ought not to increase
the aggregate cost of maintaining
the schools, but should reduce it.
One large school can be operated at
less expense and do better work than
half dozen small ones. Fifty chill
dren would have better advantages
in one school than if they were di-
vided among five schools.
The individual child is the ulti-
mate and most important unit to be
considered in the framing of any
school legislation.
