RURAL EDUCATION Frequently we hear the statement that our rural schools are the weakest link in our educational system. Some facts that may be cited seem to lend weight to this assertion. Other facts tend to disprove it. Evidently, therefore, the generally accepted conclusion IS subject to controversy. Perhaps qualifications fo1· teaching positions in rural schools are a bit too low. Possibly compensation for teachers is not adequate in all cases. No doubt compulsory education laws in country regions are not properly enforced. But when one judges the rural school system by the results attained it compares favorably with the city school system. Boys and girls from the country seem to hold their own successfully m our high schools and even in our institutions of hig~h er learning. It frequently appears that in some rudiments of education the rural boy and girl receives better training than the city youngster. And by the test of suceess after school days are ended, the rural school seems to rank exceedingly well. Many improvements in rural education have been recorded. in recent years. The 4-H club work, decidedly educational in character, is one of the outstanding movements in education circles in recent years. Parents in rural districts are today desirous of having their children offered every possible educational opportunity, and their influence in the cause of better education IS exerting a profound effect. To verify these assertions we suggest that you check up on the work of some of our leading schools here in Salt Lake county. We will hazard the guess that you will be astonished at the changed and improvements in rural schooling that have taken place within the past twenty years. MARKET FOR ENTERTAINMENT It Is reported by the department of commerce that mimature golf has already attained the dignity of a $100,000,000 industry, and that its rapid growth is exerting some effect upon our general business life. Vacant land in cities is being put to use, the market for materials required in the making of the courses is improving, and men as builders and attendants are being given employm~nt. This of course, is no argument for miniature golf. Regard it as a silly game or a wholesome pastime as you will, but the fact remains that American people are always in the ma1·ket for entertainment and that the man who hits upon an idea that has a widespread appeal IS bound to prosper himself, and perhaps in a way help to promote the general economic well-being. This demand for entertainment is a major stabilizing factor in our entire business structure. How great a part of it fills in our time. There is an entertainment value about practically every industry or business that has made rapid strides in recent years-the motor car, and the radio being conspicuous examples. , This trend toward play is natural and logical. With our labor saving machinery we are creating a great surplus in goods and time. As long as this surplus secures wholesome recreation our country is sound and there is no cause for worry over our future social and economic well being. A psychologist asserts that half a peanut provides enough energy for a half hour's hard thinking. Now we know the source of the term peanut head.

POULTRY TIPS CULUNG A good job of culling about this time of the year will save many dollars in feed costs. Of course it is taken for granted that as the young stock develops the cockerels are separated from the pullets and sent off to market as broilers or else specially developed for marketing at a later age. It is well to go over all flocks at this time. Check over each bird with considerable care and you will find that you are probably feeding a good many birds that are not worth keeping any longer. A great many birds will be culled out of the ordinary growing flocks on sight due to apparent low vitality and outstanding physical defects. Especially if the flocks are to be later used for breeding purposes any marked disqualification should be culled on sight. In the case of Leghorns these would notably be such defects liS lop combs, side spriggs, offcolored feathers and stubbs. In the heavier breeds body weight is perhaps of the most primary importance.
