sweet POTATO.
CROP Large
1,358,0O0 Bushels Grown
on State Farms This
Year
SEE NEED OF
MORE STORAGE

II Is estimated that Delaware:
! production Of sweet potatoes this
gear will be 1,s5s.oo0 bushels. The
total production for 1924 was eoo,-
900 bushels. showing an increase
this year Of ass, 900 bushels or more
than so per cent more than last
year. According TO official estimate
Alabama will produce more sweet
potatoes than any other State in the
United States this year. being cred
tied with an estimate Of 13,50S,000
bushels as against a total produc-
ton last year of 12.150,000 bushels.
According to official estimate, Della
ware ranks 18th among all the
States in the Union in producing
sweet potatoes, being slightly ahead
of Maryland, which is credited with
900 bushels.
The State Board OF Agriculture,
through its division of markets has
been studying conditions in regard
TO sweet potatoes and finds many
fields which show a production Of
approximately 500 baskets per acre.
Sussex county produces practically
all OF Delaware's commercial crop
OF sweet potatoes. the vicinity Of
Laurel and Seaford being the heav-
lest producing center. and in spite
of the fact that increased storage
space has been made available, there
IS a decided shortage of storing
space. and many growers have been
forced to market a part Of their
crop, even at the prevailing low
prices. This shortage Of storing
space also applies 10 other sections
of the country. and they likewise
have been forced to put some of
their crop on the market, and this
condition, 1t is believed. Is largely
responsible for the low prices at this
time, and there IS a general feeling
that after this stock Is cleaned up
and the demand for storage stock
IS felt, that higher prices Will pre-
vail. At the present time growers are
receiving from Is TO IS cents per
basket for the big stem and other
like varieties and about 25 cents per
basket for the up river. big leaf and

difference in price is due TO the SUI
periority Of the latter named va
r!eties in keeping and handling quail
tiles. Some stock was sold on con
tract at as cents per basket before
the crop was harvested.

Four Incentives

There are, then, four incentives
that impel rs to effective organization
of the teaching profession in Hawaii:
/. The primordial urge OF self pro
lection that bids us fly to the herd
for the protection that is afforded by
numbers and mass.
go. The companion herding instinct
that bids us regard the welfare of the
clan simply because we are a part of
il. In our case it bids us form a
strong union that shall win respect
for u profession.
." The higher instinct for leader
ship that implies us to take our proper
place as promoters of a better educa-
ton.
Il. The higher urge of service, that
impels us to work for the best good
of Hawaii's children, no matter what
their parentage, and to work more
successfully through a community of
effort in organized groups.
Let US respond generously to all
these Incentives"

of the II. f. A., and outlined its plans
for the future. The address is as fol.
lows.
Last spring a drive was made to
secure membership in the n. r. A. In
a friendly contest with the other Is
lands, Maui won the right to name the
delegate-at-large to the Boston con
vention. AS a result of that contest
practically all of Maui's public school
teachers became members of the ma
tional organization. Now, according to
the rules of the N. e. A., all teachers
who joined that association last
spring, retain their membership till
June, 1928, without payment of fur.
Their dues. There is no call, then, for
a special N. +. A. membership drive
on Maui this fall, unless it be for the
purpose of closing up the ranks of
those who are not already members,
and presenting Secretary Crabtree
with a full 100 per cent membership

made at the coming session Of the
legislature.
Il wonder how many of us realize
by what a narrow margin our hopes
Of a salary increase escaped a crush
ing blow at the special session of
1927 Maui leaders, so the story
goes, saved the day. There is not one
teacher present today hat at the end
of this year will not have a better
bank account by hundreds OF dollars
because your friends were awake at
the critical moment. Shall we, then,
sleep peacefully. hugging our prec-
ious little dollar, and trust to our
friends to save the situation for us
again? Even our friends like to have
us keep awake and watch what they
are doing.
Again, how many of us know that
Maui leaders ave the appropriation
for supplementary readers from utter
annihilation in 1921? Again, shall we
trust George to look after our bust
ness for us, and secure an ample ap-
preparation for the tools we so much
need, or shall be all pull together and
work for it? Hawaii Education Assoc
citation stands for such an a%pprOpria-
ton. Let is stand with her.
Growth of Association
"The Hawaii Education Association
is only a baby, as yet, just half past
two, but it is fast outgrowing it's
clothes. Soon it will be of sufficient
stature to be seen from all points of
the territory. You have heard the
resolutions presented on this floor to-
day. The II. +. \. is responsible for
most of these resolutions, and is try
ing to have similar resolutions acted
upon by the seven island associations
affiliated with her. If all these island
associations embraced, as they should.

territory, and if they would all unite
on this or any other set of resolutions,
can any one doubt that such action
would have weight with the legisla.
ture?
''The teachers of the territory
should direct the educational policies
of the territory and this result can
never be consumated till all teachers,
from kindergarten to university, unite
in a common cause through the med.

willingness to help the public school
teachers through its lectures and eX
