of about S1,37O,OOO day, in addition
to the destruction of As lives daily.
"In our own State, during the five
years ended with 1920, our fire waste
came to the great total of $3,094, ,913,
a sum that would build 618 five thous-
and dollar homes or many miles of
good roads. Thus it is evident that
we have been paying our full share of
the tax levied by carelessness and ig-
norance in handling fire hazards.
'Since most fires are preventable,
the regrettable devastation by burning
that takes place day after day, is
largely unnecessary. 1t goes without
saying that every effort should be
made to relieve the people of the self
imposed burden represented by pre-
ventable fire.
Therefore, l hereby designate the
period from October to 9, 1922, as
Fire Prevention Week, and earnestly
request that the proper city depart
ments, cooperating with Chamber of
Commerce and other civic organiza-
tiOns, shall arrange interesting and
educational exercises that will impress
the Importance of the occasion upon
the public mind. l hope that every
resident of the State will actively take
part in the observance and that they
will remove rubbish and litter and
other hazards about their home and
places of business; that they will in
augurate the personal habit of care
fulness. ask that our churches by
means of sermons and addresses and
the newspapers, by editorial mention,
shall help to spread the doctrine of
carefulness; that our schools shall
adopt systematic instruction in fire
prevention to the end that our State
may be made a safer and better place
in which to live.
"Only by arousing the public to the
appalling situation created by our eX
cessive fire waste can the evil be cor
rected."

NEGRO COLLEGE HEAD RESIGNS
DIR. w. c. Jason to Give Up at State
College For COlOred After 27 Years

DIR. w. c. Jason, president of State
College for Colored Students, near Do
yer, has handed his resignation to the
board of trustees of the college. The
resignation has not yet been accepted,
but a committee of the trustees has
been appointed to select a successor,
and DR.. Jason has been asked to con-
tinue until a suitable selection has
been made. DIR. Jason came to State
College q years ago, so that he has
been connected with the institution al
most from the start. He has shown
marked ability in the development of
the institution and is recognized as
one of the educational leaders of the
colored race. He is held in the high
est regard by not only members of his
race but by many white people who
have come in contact with him since
his connection with State College. DR.
Jason says he has no plans for the fu-
ture. No reason has been announced
by DIR. Jason who is of advnced years
for resigning, but it is known that he
is greatly disappointed because of the
failure of the educational authoritie:
to establish in connection with the
College for Colored Students stand
ard high school, which was authoriz
ed by an act of the last legislature.

Pierre S. DUPONT will receive an
honorary degree at the University of
Delaware on September %. This day
will be observed at the University as
Convocation Day and the degree will
be conferred on Mr.. dupont at that
time by the Board of Trustees. The
comforting of this degree was recon-
mended by a committee and approved
by the trustees at board meeting last
February. At that time it was intend
ed to so honor Mr.. DUPONT at the
commencement exercises. When the
board notified Mr.. dupont of its desire
to confer the degree on him it was
learned then that he had just accepted
an invitation from Lafayette College
for an honorary degree to be confer
red on him there. 1t happened that
the commencement at Lafayette was
on exactly the same day as Delaware'S
commencement and under these Cir
cumstances the comforting of the de.
gree at Delaware had to be deferred
Final plans for the observing of Con.
vocation Day were made at a specia
meeting of the Board of Trustees helC
last week. The day will inauguratt
the starting of a new collegiate year
The General Alumni Association will
hold a special business meeting OF

STATE. POTATO TOUR JULY 81
Plan To Cover Growing and Market
ing Territory By Autos.

ust 5, has created general interest in

prospects are it will be a great sue.
cess. R. G. Rose of the agricultural
extension service will be in charge
The trip is to be taken in automobiles
and reservations can be made by writ.
ing to Mr.. Rose at University Farm.
This new project is the sequel of CO.
operative plans worked out by the
agricultural extension division, the
seed certifcation office of the state de.
partment Of agriculture, county agents
and potato growers in 10 Of the lead
ing potato counties of the state. The
problems which often BATTLE the in
dividual potato grower. Uses of spray.
ers, busters and other machinery will
be demonstrated. Seed plots will be
given special attention and short con

Pertinent Pointers for Practical Farmers
Prepared by the Agricultural Minnesota
MINNESOTA HAS 178,487
FARMS LATE CENSUS SHOWS
But 1892 Have Running Water and
Only 13,465 Have Gas or
Electric Liuk1ts.

Figures taken from the last census
reports regarding modern utilities in
Minnesota farm homes have made a
decided impression on Prof. E. A..
Stewart, who came from Kansas two
years ago to take charge Of the newly
organized section Of agricultural ply
sizes at University Farm. According to
the census there are 178,47S farms in
Minnesota. Mr.. Stewart finds that
only 1882 of these farms report hay
ing running water in the house and
that only 13,465 farm homes have gas
or electric lights. Out of the last num-
Der 5,116 have isolated lighting plants,
while the rest are probably electric
lights from farm power service lines.
This is disgraceful for such a pros
porous state as Minnesota" says Mr..
Stewart. Iowa has 33,851 farm homes
equipped with running water; New

COMING
Canadian Specialists Due To Visit
Agricultural College in August.

Canadian horticulturists who will
attend the annual meeting and tour of
the Great Plains section of the Aneri,
can Society for Horticultural Science,
which will be held in August in Iowa,
are planning to visit the Minnesota
agricultural college while on their
way to the convention city. After
studying orchard conditions and
truck crop experiments at University
Farm, the Canadians, reinforced by a
half dozen Minnesota horticulturists,
will leave by auto for the national
meeting. .
In Iowa the horticulturists will in.
spect the state experiment station or.
chards at Ames and Charles City,
where 100000 trees of apple, pear, plum,
cherry and peach are growing. These
trees comprise one of the largest col
lections of fruit trees with known par
entages in the United States.
Other features of the meeting will
be a visit to Madison county, where a
marker will be set up on the spot that
grew the first Delicious apple tree. A
visit will also be made to St. Ansgar
where extensive truck crop fields will
be inspected. -

York has 45,487 farm homes with this
convenience. That the farmers of
Minnesota can afford these utilities is
shown by the fact that 101,S47 of our
farmers have automobiles and 14,794
tractors"
Mr.. Stewart is using time not need
ed in class and office work in helping
extension division specialists with
their investigational work along the
lines of rural sewage disposal and
lighting, farm water systems, heating
and ventilation Of school buildings,
warehouses and barns. The work in
lighting includes isolated farm plants
of the gas, gasoline-electric, hydro
electric and wind-electric types, and
also the rural power line service.
Mr.. Stewart has made about 40 trips
out into different parts of the state in
connection with the installation of
these conveniences. He has written
many hundreds of letters to persons
calling upon him for information. He
will make surveys and design the in
stallation Of utilities as time permits.
When water system or sewage dis
posal plant, or whatever it may be is
installed, Mr.. Stewart will put on a
community demonstration in order
that others may be encouraged to in
stall similar improvements. In this
way it is possible to reach an ever
widening circle of rural people.
minnesota has more than 10000
windmills pumping water for cattle
but less than 10000 pumping water
for human beings" says Mr.. Stewart.
For the expenditure of $25 a wind
mill can be made to pump water into
the house just as we'll as to the barn.
Why shouldn't we have 10000 wind
mills pumping water into the house?
Let's make it 10000 in the next 10
years. A little cooperation by farm
ers'~ clubs, county agents, merchants,
plumbers and others can put over !
in this state that would
save thousands Of women the back
breaking job of pumping and carrying |
water. Let our slogan be, Running |
Water in Every Farm Home"
