Too Late Now to Select Seed Potatoes

fields removed 80 that there would be no dan
ger Of spread. The more you could learn OF
the parent foundation stock the more accurate
your seed selection would be.
1t would be necessary to watch the stock
harvested from the selected fields to be sure
that no potatoes of inferior qualities were mix
ed with them. Grading would also need care
full attention so that cut, diversified, or damaged
potatoes could be removed thereby avoiding
high transportation charges on anything but
the best.
1t would be impractical and tremendously ex-
pensive for every southern planter to keep him
self informed on the various phases Of seed
potato production and to make the trips to the
north suggested above To thoroughly take
care of the job would mean a stay of from four
to six months in the producing sections, con-
stantly circulating from one region to another,
az more than one area would need to be visited
to guard against the danger of crop failures,
field frost, disease epidemics, etc.

The other route would take him

from New York he would circle
south TO Havana and Colon. Canal
Zone. From Colon he would fly
south to Bahia. Brazil, and then 10
Africa. From Africa he would fly
70 England and other European
countries.
The other Mexican aviator plan
ming an unusual flight Is Miguel

Crippled Children at School

MINNESOTA holds the honor of being the
first State to provide by legislation for the
care and education of crippled and deformed
children. This work, prior to the action Of ~
State. had been carried on by private means.
The first actual public school class for this
purpose was opened in Chicago in 1899 and
New York followed in 1906 with another VEN
ture. In 1907, a law passed by the Minnesota
Legislature, providing for State support of q
general system Of medical and surgical care and
education of the crippled children. Massa-
chusetts was the first State actually to establish
school along these lines.
Since That tine the work has spread until
now practically every State has laws covering
the system. The present tendency is away from
institutional treatment of the subject and to-
ward an establishment of local classes near the
homes Of the children. re
