On Friday, Oct. IL, the pupils in
the White Bluffs Schools, grades 4 to
8, will take a test in the fundamental
Processes Of arithmetic, prepared by
the office of the State Department Of
Education. This test is being given to
all pupils in the state by the State De-

County Superintendent, and will furn-
ish valuable information concerning
any faults in the methods used in teach.
ing this important subject. m
The test is diagnostic in character,
as it is arranged; so that the various
difficulties found in the various funda-
rnantal processes can be noted fromfthe
mistakes of the pupils. Once these
faults are known to the teachers, it
will be possible to introduce special in
struction to correct them. There is no
doubt that this test will do a great
deal to improve instruction through
out the state,
In the White Bluffs schools we plan
to spend two months correcting the
weaknesses indicated by the tests, and
then test a second time, in order to
discover just how effective corrective
work has been. This second test will
be followed by a second period of cor

LOOK AFTER sRRuss NOW

The fall care of shrubbery and
flower gardens is an important par,
OF gardening, according to ]. r.
Herman, instructor in landscape gar
dening at the State College. who has
listed a number of precautions to
take with annual and perennial plants
before the winter season.
"cut down the old flower stocks,
rake up the dead leaves and stems,
burn those which have disease OF
insect pests, and put the others in
your compost heap, for if left around
the plants they serve as an ideal
place for insects and disease pests
to harbor over the winter" he says.
Many of the ANIMALS may be cut
back, potted and brought into the
house and forced into winter blooms.
You can divide and transplant many
OF your p%erennials now. Before trans
planting be sure to prepare the soil
thoroughly, spading it deeply and
removing the. coarse material and
stones. Mix a little bone meal and
leaf mold or peat with the soil and
if it is heavy, add a little slaked lime
to loosen it up
"The advantage of fall or spring
planting is that if the plants are
well established before winter, they
lose no time and start growth with
the opening of spring. Tulips and
other hardy spring Towering bulbs
are planted in the fall. The tender
bulbs and tubers should be dug up
and stored in a cool, dry place.
Most of the roses can be safely
carried through the winter if they
have soil hilled up around them to
a height of six to eight inches, thus
covering the lowest buds. Standard
and climbing roses may be protected
by laying them o the ground and
burying them.
"In arid sections of the state,
shrubs should be thoroughly irrigated
in the late summer or early fall in
order to mature the flower buds,
ripen the wood, and cause the plants
to store up starch in their tissues.
The reason for most of the winter
killing of shrubs is not due primarily
to the severe winter conditions, but
may be traced to the fact that tho
plants go into winter in a weakened
condition.
