Profits From Culls

Gull potatoes converted into beef
mutton, pork, cream or butter will
bring the farmer good returns this
fall while they won't bring cent if
sold with the rest of the potato crop
in an ungraded lot. The farmer sell
ing ungraded potatoes actually gives
his culls away, for the dealers price is
based on the amount of No. and No.
2 potatoes, U. S. grade, in the lot. BY
grading the potato crop on the farm,
selling only the first grades and re-
tanning the culls for stock feed, farm
ers will be able to increase their pro-
fits materially.

BETTER DAYS IN PROSPECT FOR
CATTLE BUSINESS

Sterilization of the live stock in
dustry, with far reaching effects up
on grazing counties of the Pacific
northwest, promises soon to be ac-
complished.
A meeting of 66 men, representing
20 cooperative live stock sales agen-
cies, was held recently in Chicago,
and steps were taken for the forma-
tion of a gigantic cooperative live
stock sales organization of national
scope.
Since such an organization has the
full backing of the federal farm
board, its chances for pooling Of vol
ume and bargaining power to put the
industry squarely upon its feet ap-
pear brilliant.
At the Chicago meeting, these 66
men spoke for 100000 members of
cooperative live stock agencies which
in 1928 handled S3OO,000,000 worth of
business represented by 12,461 900
head of live stock.
During the last year marked in
crease has been noted in agricultural
land values, due in part to the pros
pect of improved cooperative market
ing conditions to be brought about
through the federal farm board. The
coming year will undoubtedly witness
a similar increase in demand for
grazing lands.-Spokane Daily Chron-
icle.

Press and School
in Education
BY E. Ruth Pyrtle
President of the National Education
Association.

Every day 24,000,o0o American
children attend school Every day
40,000,000 newspapers go to Ameri-
cans readers. Every contact of school
or press shapes opinion closer to the
sharp line of truth. There are no
other institutions in the world that
can compare with these two in power
and influence.
The school takes the mind while it
is plastic. 1t bestows upon the child
a knowledge of the best that the race
has learned in the age-long school of
experience. The press builds upon
these fundamentals the towers of op-
inion that shape the skyline of to-
days world.
Back of these two great educational
institutions are $4,000 editors and
100000 school teachers Their SER
vices are SO closely akin that only
blindness can be responsible for a
lack of mutual understanding and ac-
cord.
The interdependence of press and
school is widely recognized Partic-
ularly has the press come to the aid
Of the school whenever the efficiency
of it's service has been threatened by
close-sighted attempts at retrench-
ment. Newspaper men have endeav-
ored to educate the school teacher to
a sense of the news value in his
methods, aims and results. The res
ponse to this training is indictaed by
the growing number of public school
systems which have member of the
staff to assist the news reporters in
uncovering facts of interest to read
ers.
On the other hand, the schools are
increasingly making use Of the news
paper. There are very few school
libraries today that do not have cur
rent new sheets on their racks.
