lungs in the different stages of
the disease. After this, we offer
money prizes to tha boy and
girl, writing the best essay on
the subject. This information
goes through the children and
the preas, into the homes and
public generally, thus soreading
the knowledge of how to recog-
nise its appearance, and how to
cure it.
We met wonderful cooperation
among the principala and fac-
ulty of the schools. We appreci-
ate the aid Mr. 8tark, sup't. of
white achools, gave us. also Mr.
Young, head of the English
dep't.. Miss Whelan, and others.
We felt proud of the essays,
which came out of their classes,
the prise winners being Barbara
Cunningham and Billy Scantlin.
We mention wLh pleasure the
work accomplished by the
school sales. The elementary
department. Mrs. Zachry prin ,
sold over $10.00 worth of seals,
winning an emergency kit from
the state for their work, and
the junior high, Mr. Webster
prin., sold $10 00 wortn, and
won a state prize of an emer-
gency kit.
We must now mention the
help given by the colored high
school. Prof. Pitts prin. They
sold $5.00 worth of seals, win.
ning a 400 page volume on
health from the state. The stu-
dents of this school put on a
play, entitled "Prevention,"
which depicted the effects and
cure of the disease in a very im-
pressive manner. Owing to the
high morality rate in this
group of our population, the
essays from the colored school
are the only ones offered an
opportunity to enter state and
national contest. Gettiag the
regulations for the latter has
delayed awarding prizes, but
they will be given at a later
date.
Until the last few years, all
the money we made on these
sales went to the state organi-
zation to combat the disease,
but now the work is enlarged
until we are allowed 60 per cent
of all sales, kept at home for ?'
local education: 40 per cent
going to state for same purpose
and out of the 40 per cent the
state receives, 5 per cent goes
to the national headquarters for
literature ere. for educations'
pur- oses—so really 95% of all
our sales is spent in Texas. Wt
have spent out ol what we hav.
made $20.00 in essay, $4.24 or
leaflets distributed, $10.00 on
tuberculin, and $30.00 on profee
sional services in administei iny
the serum. We now have a bal
ance in the bank of $187.97 and
the goal, to which we are work
ing, is the helping to secure and
maintain an all time health
nurse in the schools. The first

The following is taken from U. S. Government circular

perior to Triumph potatoes in many respects.
Description of the Katahdin
The Katahdin vine is very large, dark green in color, and vigorous—a much
stronger grower than Triumphs. It blooms freely and produces seed balls in abun-
dance. The Katahdin is later in maturing than the Triumph, a week or ten days. The
tubers set freely and early. Katahdin and Triumphs planted and harvested at the same
time will give about the same yield. However, if Katahdins are allowed to remain in
ttie flald a week or tea days longer, the Katahdin will show a substantial increase in
yield. The tubers, potatoes, of the Katahdins are creamy white, short, oval to round,
and have few shallow eyes.
The Katahdin is a good keeper
All conditions being equal, the Katahdin is much the best keeper. We planted
last year a small test plot of Katahdin potatoes, and did not give them any special
ittention or care In August, these potatoes were in good usable condition, less than
IS per cent rotted after being harvested.
Remember:For best results, plant certified Katahdin
seed potatoes
The Katahdin does not run out readily. For this reason, it can be grown repeated-
ly from home seed, providing of course the best eertifled teed are used to start with.
