GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS
! DISCUSS TEACHER NEEDS
No Shortage Seen in Number Of
Teachers, But Many Now
Lack Proper Training

" Washington, April ii Capital
News Service) - That the shortage
of teachers, which became SO acute
during and shortly after the war, is
a, thing Of the past as far as numbers
is concerned is we'll shown by the
Bureau Of Education statistics. That
the shortage has been made good at
the expense of quality Of the teaching
force is stated by Federal Commits
sioner of Education, j. j. Tigert. He
believes that vigorous methods must
be used to raise the standard of ed
pcation, which was lowered during
the war because Of inadequate sal
aries which couldn't hold good teach
ers but which were attractive to
partly trained men and women.
Representative Towner, of Iowa,
whose name is associated intimately
with the Demonstrating bill to es-
tablish a Department of Education,
points to these statements of Mr. Tig-
ert as but another argument for the
establishment of education in the
NOtcIHlCHI OI DCpAA IHICHS, A1loSSou
of Bureau, basis. He points out
that illiteracy can not be overcome
by unframed or half-trained teachers.
1t is commended that the inspiring in
.fluence Of Federal standard of
qualification to which teachers might
be expected to conform before they
would be considered eligible as
members of the staff Of state schools
which receiver Federal aid, would 90
more to raise the level Of teaching
than any other thing. Mr.: Towner
emphasizes the fact that the Towner-
Sterling bill, when law, will not at
tempt to control, but to advise, in
educational methods, and will no
more intefere with the free expend-
iture Of state funds for state educa-
tional purposes than the Department
of Agriculture inteferes at present
in the state agricultural methods.

BEMlDJ CONTRACTORS
BID ON new RlFlRMARY

Bids have been entered by Bemidji
on the new infirmary to
be erected at Walker and these con-
tractors have reason to believe that
their bids, may be accepted since the
lowest bids are reported to have con-
tanned errors, which when corrected
would make the bid higher than those
entered by the local firms.
The bid entered by Ed Jackson e
Son on the general contract was the
second lowest received; that of Roy
Harker v. Harker for the heating
and plumbing Of the structure was
the third lowest. The O. W. Sievert
Co. entered a bid for the roofing
contract. The various jobs are to
be awarded next week, it is announc-
ed.

CANADA GIVES UP HER NAVY
Ships Donated by British Too Expen-
sive to Keep, is Statement
Of Government. ..

Ottawa, Ont.-In the matter Of naval
defense, Canada has decided to live up
to the letter of the demand for disarm-
ament, the government having an
nounced in parliament that the navy,
consisting Of several vessels given by
the British government, would pass out
of existence. All that Canada will do
Is to protect the wharves and harbors
at Halifax and Esquimalt, and train
about 1,500 youths a year in naval SER
vice.
Whether the vessels donated by the
British government will be given back
remains to be seen. Certainly they will
be Of no service to Canada as long as
the present policy continues, there be-
Ing no money for their upkeep.
The policy announced comes as the
result of an insistent demand for
economy. The progressives, who CORE
spond to the. agricultural bloc in the
American congress, are clamorous for
reduction in expenditure and have had
their way both in respect to military
and naval expenditure.
The policy of the government has
the overwhelming support of the house
of commons.

GREEN MANuRING AIDS SOIL
Really One of Oldest Methods
Crops for This Purpose Were
Used by Ancients.

Green neutrality-suspicious. under
green crops-as a means of soil i'm
proyement, although it has been en-
phasized in recent years, can hardly
be called new discovery, says the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture. It is really one Of the Oldest
methods. Crops for this purpose were
used by the ancients, the Romans u.s.
ing lupines, which were sown in Sep
tember and turned under in May for
the benefit of the following crop.
In Germany the use Of lupines be-
gan in the middle of the Nineteenth
century and has proved an important
factor In reclaiming the sandy lands
of parts of Prussia. In England
legumes and other plants are COM
monty used; in India and Japan the
farmers gather green plants Of many
kinds. sometimes even cutting twigs
from the trees and carrying them to
the rice fields.
In the United States the use of
special green-manure crops is much
more general in the South than in the
North. Under irrigation they play an
important part in orchard culture In
the West, but not under dry-farming
conditions.

OF INJURIOUS PEST
Control WebWorms in Corn by
Cultural Methods.
After Crop Is Once Planted and Field
Is Found to Be Infested There
Is No Practicable Way Of
Getting Rid of Them.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Outbreaks of webwOrms in corn in
the Middle Eastern states can be pre-
vented only by cultural methods, ac-
cording to the bureau Of entomology
of the United States Department of
Agriculture. Unlike most of our de-
structive pests, the various species
of webworms are all natives of Amer
lea and have not been introduced
from foreign lands.
Summer or very early fall blowing
should be practiced. Flowing in late
October or November has little effect
because the worms are already in
their winter webs under the surface
of the ground. Land that has been
in sod or pasture. or lain fallow and
grown up to weeds and grass should
be plowed in July or August, if it is
intended to plant it to corn the fol
lowing spring.
Grasslands of all kinds-meadows
pastures, or lawns-furnish the nor.
NAL food of sod webworms, but they
also gnaw young corn plants below
the surface and deform them so as
to prevent the production of grain
After the corn Is once planted and
the field is found to be infested there
Is no practicable method of getting
rid of the worms; the only thing that
can be done is to produce conditions
that will permit the corn to grow in
spite of them
Disking in the spring, the application
of fertilizer, and the sowing of sound
ures that will have any effect. Nei
ther poisoning nor trapping has met
with any success.

AT Marrero, La, there has been

ing material from sugar cane bagasse,
the equipment of the mill is very
much like that in a paper factory The
bagasse is clipped, cooked and
washed, and then sent to beaters,
where it is worked up until the fbers
are of the proper length. A special
machine converts the pulp into board
and this is dried for four hours,
emerging as a finished product, quite
dry and hard. 1t is known as celotex,
and can be worked just like wood, and
is solid and homogeneous.-Sce

perts it was felt that the monthly re-
include reports of births, deaths,

animals bred, with periodical classi-
ficatiOns Of the numbers of animals
on farms. This service will be an
expansion of experimental work car
ried on by the division of crop and
live stock estimates during the last
three or four years. Monthly reports
will be obtained from 10000 to 100,-
600 farms, and state indexes of
changes at least for the corn belt,
and eastern and southern states will
be developed. The range states on
cattle and sheep will be covered by
a series of semi-annual reports be-
cause of the difficulty of getting
monthly reports from those states.
Information to Be Given.
The forecastlng and reporting of the
important live stock movements Will
be based upon the movement of feeder
cattle and lambs from the range states
to the corn belt feed lots, the move
ment from the feed lots to market,
the movement into the eastern feed
lots such as Lancaster, Pa, and the
movement out, the forecasting and
estimating of the yearly lamb and
calf crop of the range states, and
estimates of the feeder hog move
ment in the Middle West. A careful
study is now being made of possible
methods for gathering and reporting
this information.
At conferences held to develop a
live stock reporting program, repre-
sentatlves of farmers ORGANIZATIONS
cooperative live stock shipping as
sociatlons, the packing establishments
and other live stock interests were
present. Many large live stock pro-
ducers' associations in the West nave
also indicated desire to cooperate
