Large Crowd Present to
Attend Exercises Which
Started at 10 O'clock
Supt. Britain Here.

The openining Of the new school
building Monday was OF great in
terest to all citizens of Lee county.
The people of the town and sur
rounding country crowded the Au-
ditorium to its capacity. For the
public to fully appreciate the value
Of the new building with all its
modern apartments and equipment
they will need little review OF the
progress the town has made in
education and other lines. This
was given by Judge H. l.. Long,
Sr. in the following words:
The town of Leesburg grew from
a little village until the time the
railroad movement was making
Roadway. Then Starksville, a few
miles east Of I.eesburg, at that time
the county seat Of Lee, was moved
to the present cite Of Leesburg. A
great many Of the residents of old
Starksville moved to Leesburg to be
near the railroad and to have the
advantages of the county seat. The
school Of Starksville had a very old
building, with no glass windows,
no ventilation, no desks except
slabs with pegs in each end to serve
as stools or desks.
Later the town built school
building Of one room called the
Masonic Hall. This had a second
story. 1t also had the name of
Hillyer Institute. 1t had plank
desks. A person having a diplama
from this school was considered a
big graduate.
The next scnool was one-room
building, very poor desks, poor
lighting no conveniences, and was
known as the old Methodist church.
lii 1905, the Board of Education
built four-room building at an ex-
pense of about $4,000. This was
a very good building compared with
the past Every person thought
that this building would meet the
needs Of the town for 80 years.
This was Is years ago. Now it is
necessary that we have the present
modern building at a cost OF
$4,000.
Moving into the new school build
ing was under the supervision OF
Mr.. Folds, principal of the school.
The program had a number OF
interesting speakers, among which
were County Superintendent 5. J.
Powell; W. H. Iunstord, Chairman
of the Board of Education; J. w.
Pye, J. R. Cowart, s. J. Yeoman.
DR.. o. w. Statham and other menu
bers Of the board; Judge W. g.
Martin and Hon. M. L. Britain.
state superintendent Of education.
Mr. Britain stressed consolida-
ton. patriotism, respect and APP
probation Of good school and good
school buildings. He further stat
ed that Lee county had made more
progress in consolidation than any
other county, unless it is Webster.

STORE SEED POTATOES NOW.

Many farmers have been successful
with potato seed plots this year and
will have higher yielding plots, more
free from disease than heretofore.
The project producing better seed

plot method" was started on a large
scale last year by County Agent Ste
phens, and has grown in favor with
the farmers this year. A large per-
centage of the careful growers have
seed plots which they rogue carefully
during the growing season and hill
select in the fall. Those who have
seed plots which have been carefully
rogued must not fail to follow up
their work with hill selections to be
used for next years seed plot. Hill
select this week by digging hills that
have had a large spreading vine
growth with three stalks and eight
or more marketable potatoes.
Due to the fact that every field in
Bingham County has been more OF
less affected by Mosaic disease, some
as high as 80 per cent, good seed stock
will be scarce next spring, and every
farmer should insure himself Of sui.

A large number Of fields have been
inspected for certification, but only q
comparatively few will pass the final
inspection. I would advise that wher-
ever possible, farmers desiring this

LOSS THROUGH DIS.
EASE AND BRUISES

Farmers are not the only ones in
terested in potato diseases and their
control. The problem must also be
met by transportation companies,
commission men, wholesale and re-
tailers, and finally the consumer.
There are diseases where infection
takes place in the field and finds fav-
orable conditions for growth in cars
that are improperly ventilated. Such
diseases mean that transportation
companies. or wholesale men lose
money on shipments. BY properly
handling farm crops in the field at
the time of harvesting it will great
ly help to prevent such loss. Other
diseases are caused by improper
transportation and storage conditions.
Potato Leak is the name given a
disease of the potatoes where there
is watery rot. It is caused by fungi
that live in the soil. One Of these

Large quantities of wheat are still
being hauled into Blackfoot, and there
is generally string of teams at all
the mills and elevators. The buyers
say the grain is of excellent quality
and superior to that Of last year, and
the yield has been higher. Owing to
lack of cars none has yet been ship
ped, and it will be stored as long as
storage capacity lasts. As soon az
the fruit season closes, more cars will
be liberated for wheat and less perish.
able products. The price for wheat
ranges around $1.15, and no one cares
to prophesy whether 1t will go up OF
down.

fungi is the common black mold Of
bread. II potatoes are roughly hand
led so that there are bruises or the
the tuber is provided the fungi. When
such infected tubers are placed in
cars, the fungi begin growing and
cause the water rot. It is not I'M
usual to have entire car loads Of po-
tatoes arrive in the big markets ef-
fected with this leak.
BY properly handling and sorting
out all tubers with the skin broken or
bruised, it has been found possible
to eliminate from SO to SO per cent
Of this disease. 1t is absolutely un-
safe to ship tubers that have the small
second growth nubbins broken of.
