Last Friday marked the end Q? the
first nine weeks Of school. Report cards
were issued last Monday, and the usual
looks Of surprise and disappointment
we're much in evidence as the cards
were passed out.
A new practice has been initiated
this year, in that the giving Of incom-
pletes for unfinished work has been
eliminated. Students who, by reason
of absence or other causes, had not
satisfactorily completed their work up
to date, were given funks at the end
of the nine weeks.
BY doing their work faithfully for
the remaining nine weeks Of the Sc
mester, they have the opportunity to
make good average grade by the end
of the semester.
This new practice is an attempt to
discourage absences from school with
out cause of sickness, which is the only
excuse the state accepts.

greatest crime factor. If he has much
leisure time he gets into trouble, having
no resources within himself to make
rightful use of his time and being de-
MED many of the harmless recreations
open to the white population His
crimes are more often impulsive than
premeditated
Economic poverty has resulted in
poor housing conditions and overcrowd-
ing which seem to be the greatest fac
tor in his high death rate.
The negroes ideals are those Of the
American citizenry. His goal is full
American citizenship. His demand is to
receive of the government and law the
same treatment accorded the white
citizen. His advancement from the foot
of the ladder upward is said never to
have been equalled by any race in the
history of the world What his ultimate
place in the economic and social struc-
ture of this nation will be can only be
surmised.

AT time when many growers are thinking more
of how easily and cheaply they get by this win
ter, and how little money they need spend on the
upkeepof their orchard, it is real achievement for
grower to produce cleaner crop than was Gust
omaly in past years.
There are number of orchards in the valley
where the total amount of culls was less than ten
per cent OF the crop produced. Some orchards
even had as little as two three per cent culls-
and stem punctures the cause rather thar
worms
We have heard arguments-and logical ones, too
to the effect that in Improbable years such as
last year and this year, man is making money by
save irrigation costs, that the orchard will con-
tinue to live This may be true but when grower
can produce a crop with less than ten per cent
culls, and apply four or less cover sprays in doing
It, there is more to be proud of than the amount of
money made or lost.

With latest reports on the estimated commercial
apple crop and the cold storage holdings available
prospects for a good apple price this year are
much better than at any time during the past few
years.
Not only is the commercial crop much less than
the crop of last year, but each succeeding estimate
of the season has shown shrinkage below that of
the preceding estimate Storms in the east and the
south have ruined many orchards in those districts
and worm damage, which is heavier this year than
III many years previous, has further decreased the
estimated crop.
Cold storage holdings this fall are far below the
five year average as we'll as below the holdings Of
last year. And with less carloads of apples going to
market now than at the corresponding period last
year, growers have little cause to fear overproduc-
ton.
There is but element remaining to create
doubt as to the price OF apples, and that is the buy
ing ability OF the consuming public. We have heard
quite bit about this in the past and probably will
for some time to come. There are enough pressl-
mlstlc reports concerning the consumers ability
to buy to make us feel that there is no hope of
apples bringing price which would guarantee
cost of production to the farmer.
On the other hand, the more reliable reports
from official and unofficial sources Indicate that
the public is again in a position to buy more than
they have in the past few years. Without doubt
the fact that at least 100000 men have been re-
employed during the summer and fall, and the
wages OF many more increased is lndlSputable and
the natural inference is that there is more buying
power in the nation today than at this time last
year or even last spring.
This section of the country was one of the last to-
feel the blow of the depression, and will probably
be of the last to feel the benefits of the natona
Improvement. For that reason we are rather prone
to doubt the more optimistic outlook and underes-
innate the strength of this country's recovery
If these eastern reports are true-as they UNI
doubtedly are-the apple growers of this section
will be in much better position this year.

the mulattoes who comprise from one
fifth to one-third of the negro popula-
ton and from whom have come the
great advances in all lines of which we
cannot be unaware or unappreciative.
The negro has gradually been crowded
out of almost all lines of work except
domestic service. He is afraid of rural
life in the South because he cannot be
sure of legal protection or of finding a
friendly neighborhood. The negro and
organized labor are mutually wary.
Gradually their level Of education is
rising and they are finding among
themselves the needed leaders who are
doing much to open the doors Of oppor-
tuity for the race.

SCIENCE NOTES

The general science class has been
studying types of leaves and their
structure, and has been making draw
ings of various types.
An experiment was conducted re-
Gently to determine if leaves confined
to breathe and give off moisture after
being picked. A handful of leaves were
placed in jar for a couple of days
and covered tightly with paper. On
examination it was found that the pa
per covering the leaves was quite moist,
indicating that leaves do give off mois-
ture even after being picked.

According to latest reports, Governor Martin,
has lroned out the problems which were causing so
much dissatisfaction earlier in the fall and it will
be unnecessary to call special session of the leg
isature.
Ii this report is true taxpayers of the state can
be thankful, for special session would accomplish
little beyond increasing taxes to some extent.
Governor Martin is to be commended for his
successful efforts in avoiding such session

Basketball practice is again In full
swing, in anticipation Of the first con-
ference game scheduled for Friday, De-
cember 8. The schedule Of practices
was difficult to arrange because Of a
crowded schedule and the new super
vised study plan which eliminates
nearly all study periods. Practices are
held three times a week during the
activity period. There are also after
school practices and the boys have
one evening practice a week.

tice and any other time that can be
