Youth Quitting High
School

OFFICIALS OF THE Federal
" Government, worried because
statistics show a decline in high
school attendance Of more than
one million students in the last
three years, have invited all COM
munity groups, including teachers,
parents, employers, labor organi-
zations, civic leaders, welfare
agencies, youth service organiza-
tions, and youth itself to join IN
"Go-To-Schoop Drive.
The United States Office OF
Education reports steadily in
creasing number of boys and girls
of high school age taking full or
part-time war jobs. In l94S,
about 2,75O,0OO boys and girls,
14-17 years, were working full or
part-time. This was three times
the number working at the time OF
the census in 1910, but, by July
1913, an estimated five million
school-age children had jobs.
The trend of students to en-
plovment is reflected in a drop in
attendance at American high
schools. The peak attendance was
reached in 194O-91, when 7,25O,OOO
students were enrolled, but today
all gains since 1884 have been
wiped out and our high schools
are educating only as many stu
dents as they did ten years ago.
Paul v. McNutt, Chairman OF
the War Manpower Commission
sends message to the nations
youth, telling them that "the
opening of school this fall is your
D-Day. in the struggle for bet
ter world"
Miss Katherine F. Lenroot,
Chief of the Children's Bureau,
saws that school is the best place
to get basic training for good liv-
ing in the years when the war is
over.
John w. Studebaker, U. 5.
Commissioner of Education, points
out that the country "can do its
duty only if the citizens continue
to know how" He adds, "The
best place to get ready for tomor-
row is in high school"

Nazis Think OF
CapitulatiOn

THE AVERAGE reader is famil-
= lar with the arrant boasting and
Dragging of Adolf Hitler in the
years when the tide of success
was running high for the Ger
man Army.
They should appreciate the sig
nificance Of his recent statement
to party leaders that Germany
needs "a man who will under no
circumstances capitulate," and his
assertion that he is necessary to
the German nation.
Where as Hitler used to prom
Use his people victory, together
with the wealth and booty of a
triumph, and assert that the
super-race was destined to man.
age the entire globe, he now urges
his usefulness almost solely on the
basis that he is ready for a finish
fight and will not capitulate.
This assertion, it seems to us. is
a complete give-away as to the
German military situation. OBJ
viously, the subject of capitula-
ton is in the Nazi mind and it
has been placed there by the i'm
pressive victories Of the Allied
armies on the field of battle.
The Germans aspiration to mas
ter the world has now been re-
placed by Hitler's pledge of no
capitalization. There has been no
change in the German mind. The
pressure of Allied arms has con-
WINGED the Nazis that triumph is
impossible; it will subsequently
produce conviction that capitula-
ton is inevitable.

THE POSTOFFICE Department
II reminds Americans that Christ
mas packages for Army anc
Navy personnel must be mailed

side, to assure delivery in case
the outside wrapper is lost.

able.
(3) Parcels must not exceed
five younds, nor be more than l5
inches long or S6 inches in length

(5) Perishable goods, intoM-
cants, inflammableI materials and
anything that may damage other

of Americans, it seems to indicate
that the campaign is probably a

THE INTELLIGENCE of the

and their interest in political af-

A recent poll indicates that

having his land and his cows pro
capacity"
Practices recommended by Mich
OILS include:
/. Liqudate Indebtedness on
ducing efficiently, and at near
farms.
2. Get into a testing association
and get production records on each
cow.
3. Gull the herd closely.
4. Feed cows according to pro-
duction.
5. Cut hay before it gets too
coarse, and give cows all they will
consume.
6. Improve pastures.
z. Carry on program of heavy
fertilization.
8. Secure a registered herd sire
backed by high production.
9. Keep as foundation replace
ments the daughters of only the
pest COWS.
Feeding maist mash to chickens
involves extra labor and presents
the danger of harmful mold and
bacterial growth. It is not neces-
sary in order to main egg pro-
duction either.
In emergencies, moist mash may
be fed to help maintain an ade-
quate mash consumption. Sick
ness, extreme cold, disrupted
schedule, or moving the birds often
means that mash consumption
drops.
If moist mash is fed, it is sug-
gested that mixing it with water
or liquid skimmilk, just so it is
crumbly is satisfactory. Feeding
what the birds will clean up in Is
to 20 minutes is usually enough.

ness men and representatives of
state and federal agricultural az
ncies," we are told by r. M. Turn
er, assistant director at the State
College of Washington.
They will have information on
types of land needed for different
kinds of farming, the amount of
capital required, size and type of
an economic unit, suggestions for
credit facilities, and many other
tips to help make the venture a
success" Turner declared.
County agents and committee
have already been given
a special training course to help
answer questions of prospective
settlers. This course, largely car
ried on in the field at seven dis
trict conferences stressed soil types
and latest farm management in
formation.
In field trips the agents learned
how to classify land by consid-
ering soil capacity and soil SAM
pies, and prosperity of the farm
over a long period as indicated
by surveys. The capital invest
ment in buildings, condition of
livestock, machinery and general
upkeep of the farm are also care
fully considered.
The ability to diversity or the
alternate opportunities a farm Of
fers like dairying, growing truck
crops, seeds and other cash crops
were stressed as important in sue
cessful farming. Market oppor-
tunities, size of the farm, tax de-
linquencies, relief loads, farm
records. and ability of the oper-
ator to secure credit were shown
as important for the committee to
consider in giving advice to pros
pective settlers. Soil survey maps
outlining the classes of soil from
one to five, have already been
made for five western Washing
ton counties and many other coun-
ties will have them soon.
Prospective farmers not ac-
quainted with local practices will
be urged to take short courses at
the college, and to work on farms
awhile before locating. Others
with only limited capital will be
advised to rent a good farm rather
then buy a poor one.
A new bulletin "Suggestions to
Prospective Farmers" has just
been released to give information
on what to look for in locating<a
farm in Washington state. Copies
can be obtained from county ex-
tension agents.
Dairying has big future in this
state and in Benton County if
dairymen are prepared to meet
the changing conditions of the post
war period, predicts M. B. Nichols.
Extension dairyman at the State
College of Washington. He be-
lieves the Pacific Northwest has
an ideal climate for dairying and
some of the nations finest herd
stock.
However, it seems logical to ex-
pect a surplus of dairy products
after the war, since we have more
dairy cows and heifers on farms
in the United States now than ever
before, Nichols said.
''The dairyman's problem, them"
Nichols went on to say, els being
ready to meet any change in con-
ditions. He can best do this by

To top the list of interesting
items this week is a statement
about the most important crop
grown in Benton county, or in any
county or community. This crop is
our youth-the youngsters, boys
and girls, who within a few years
will be the men and women citi-
zens of our nation. 1 wondered
what we are doing for them, to
them, or with them. Wartime
makes youth have new positions,
new responsibilities, new concep-
tons of true values. I wonder if
we are giving maximum, effort to
leadership and guidance of this
most important crop?
Fourth club work is an excellent
way for boys and girls to be guild
ed. Learning to do by doing is a
good motto, and when boys and
girls learn by doing and do useful
and purposeful work, they grow,
expand and become useful and
productive men and women. If
